This legal document page (dated April 1, 2021) argues that the government lacks any contemporaneous documentary evidence (emails, texts, police reports) to corroborate allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell regarding conduct between 1994 and 1997. The defense asserts that Maxwell is being prosecuted as a 'substitute' for Jeffrey Epstein following his 'inexplicable death' at the MCC, noting that she was not named in Epstein's original indictment.
