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, dated June 29, 2023, is a transcript of a judge's ruling in Case 22-1426. The judge overrules a defendant's objection to a sentencing enhancement, arguing that applying an enhancement for 'undue influence' over a minor in a commercial sex act does not constitute impermissible 'double counting' on top of the base offense. The judge cites legal precedent, including United States v. Watkins, to support the decision that the enhancement addresses a different facet of harm than the base offense level.
This legal document is a court filing that refutes two arguments made by the defendant. First, it argues that the standard for the victim's (Carolyn's) behavior is 'undue influence,' not complete lack of voluntary action. Second, it dismisses the defendant's claim of 'double-counting' in sentencing enhancements by citing legal precedents (Watkins, Kohlmeier, Arbaugh) which establish that different guideline provisions can address different harms from the same conduct.
