2 Activity – First Element
3
4 The first element of Count Four which the Government must prove beyond a reasonable
5 doubt is that Ms. Maxwell knowingly transported Jane in interstate or foreign commerce, as
6 alleged in the Indictment. The phrase, “transport an individual in interstate or foreign commerce”
7 means to move or carry, or cause someone to be moved or carried, from one state to another or
8 between the United States and a foreign country.
9 The Government does not have to prove that Ms. Maxwell personally transported Jane
10 across a state line. It is sufficient to satisfy this element that Ms. Maxwell was actively engaged,
11 either personally or through an agent, in the making of the travel arrangements, such as by
12 purchasing tickets necessary for Jane to travel as planned.
13 Ms. Maxwell must have knowingly transported, or caused the transportation of, Jane in
14 interstate commerce. This means that the Government must prove that Ms. Maxwell knew both
15 that she was causing Jane to be transported, and that Jane was being transported in interstate
16 commerce. As I have explained, an act is done knowingly when it is done voluntarily and
17 intentionally and not because of accident, mistake or some innocent reason.
18 It is the Defendant’s intent that matters here. If the Government establishes each of the
19 elements of this crime beyond a reasonable doubt, then the Defendant is guilty of this charge
20 whether or not the individual agreed or consented to cross state lines.
