This legal document, filed on August 22, 2022, is a transcript of a judge's ruling regarding a sentencing calculation. The judge finds that two minor victims, Virginia Roberts and Melissa, were trafficked and abused by the defendant and Epstein and should be considered for sentencing purposes, even though they were not named in the indictment. Citing precedent from the Second Circuit, the judge overrules the defendant's objection and decides to treat the conduct against these two victims as additional counts of conviction.
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.
This legal document, a page from a court filing, argues that a plea agreement made by a United States Attorney's Office (USAO) in one district is generally binding on other USAOs and the federal government as a whole. It cites several court cases, such as Gebbie and Van Thournout, to support this majority view, while also acknowledging contrary or more limited rulings from circuits like the Seventh and Sixth in a footnote.
This document is page 20 of a legal filing (Doc 380) from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on October 29, 2021. The Government argues for the admissibility of 'prior consistent statements' made by Minor Victims to other witnesses regarding sexual abuse by the defendant and Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s. The text asserts these statements, made over a decade ago, refute potential defense claims of recent fabrication or improper influence.
