This document is a page from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense argues that a witness named Carolyn did not mention Maxwell in her original 2007 FBI statement or in two 2008 civil lawsuits. The text details Carolyn's interactions with Epstein, Roberts, Kellen, and Sarah, highlighting that she originally attributed specific acts (like massage instruction) to Roberts rather than Maxwell.
