Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (likely a sentencing hearing for Ghislaine Maxwell) where the judge is ruling on sentencing guidelines. The judge overrules an objection, finding by a preponderance of evidence that the defendant supervised Sarah Kellen, who is identified as a 'knowing participant in the criminal conspiracy.' The ruling cites testimony from Larry Visoski, David Rodgers, and Carolyn, as well as flight records and a household manual, to establish the defendant's leadership role as 'Epstein's number two.'

3 as a person who is criminally responsible for the commission of
