Summary
This document is page 138 of a court transcript from the defense summation by Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The defense argues against the prosecution's 'culture of silence' theory, noting that witness Juan Alessi discarded the household manual and that pilot Larry Visoski testified that NDAs are standard for wealthy individuals to protect the privacy of famous passengers like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Senator John Glenn, rather than to hide illicit activity.

LCKVMAX6 Summation - Ms. Menninger
1 rather than 18, tells you nothing about what she did or didn't
2 do. And if the government had proof to back up Virginia's
3 claims, they could have brought it to you and put her on the
4 stand.
5 As I said at the beginning, the government has really
6 struggled to explain why an Oxford-educated, proper English
7 woman would suddenly agree to facilitate sex abuse of minors.
8 And they told you it was to maintain her jet-setter lifestyle.
9 They've also suggested at least three other reasons.
10 One is this culture of silence theory, which is
11 dependent entirely on Juan Alessi and the mysterious household
12 manual. Now, Juan Alessi told you he threw that manual away
13 and never used it, so we don't actually have a single employee
14 who came and testified that they used this household manual.
15 The pilots didn't use it. The office people told you they were
16 never given directions like that and didn't know about it. No
17 one was told not to look anybody in the eye.
18 Larry Visoski did tell you he signed a nondisclosure
19 agreement. He told you that was common for people of wealth;
20 that he had signed it for other people of wealth because they
21 don't want them -- their pilots writing about the famous people
22 who are flying on their planes, like Bill Clinton or Donald
23 Trump or Senator John Glenn or any of the other famous people
24 who you will see on the flight logs. Nondisclosures aren't to
25 hide illicit sexual activity; and not one witness told you that
2 do. And if the government had proof to back up Virginia's
3 claims, they could have brought it to you and put her on the
4 stand.
