Summary
This document is a letter from Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi C. Sternheim, to Judge Alison J. Nathan, filed on June 24, 2022. In the letter, Maxwell formally objects to Sarah Ransome, Maria Farmer, Teresa Helm, and Juliette Bryant being legally characterized as 'victims' under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) for the purpose of sentencing. The defense argues these individuals do not meet the statutory requirements, specifically regarding their age at the time of alleged abuse, the timing relative to the indictment, and proximate harm resulting from the specific federal offenses of conviction.

Dear Judge Nathan:
Ghislaine Maxwell submits this letter in response to the Court’s order (Dkt. 665). Ms.
Maxwell objects to characterization of Sarah Ransome, Maria Farmer, Teresa Helm, and Juliette
Bryant (collectively, the "Individuals") as "victims" of the counts of conviction and disputes that
the Individuals qualify as statutory victims within the definition of a "crime victim" contained in
the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §3771 ("CVRA").
Maxwell objects to characterization of Sarah Ransome, Maria Farmer, Teresa Helm, and Juliette
Bryant (collectively, the "Individuals") as "victims" of the counts of conviction and disputes that
the Individuals qualify as statutory victims within the definition of a "crime victim" contained in
the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 U.S.C.A. §3771 ("CVRA").
The issue that requires resolution in advance of sentencing is whether the Individuals, or
their representatives, have statutory crime victim status under the CVRA. Under the statute,
definition of "crime victim" takes as a given that there has been a "federal offense" committed.
See 18 U.S.C. § 3771(e)(2)(A). Ms. Maxwell asserts that the Individuals are not statutory crime
victims of the federal offenses of conviction, which require that (i) each was a minor at the time
to the alleged abuse, (ii) the alleged abuse occurred during the period alleged in the indictment,
and (iii) the Individuals were "directly and proximately harmed as a result of the commission of
[the] Federal offense." Id.(emphasis added).
