This legal document, part of a court filing, argues against precluding the testimony of 'Minor Victim-3' in the trial of the defendant, Maxwell. The prosecution contends that even if the acts against this victim were uncharged, her testimony is crucial to establish a pattern of abuse, show the defendant's relationship with Epstein, and prove her knowing participation in a conspiracy. The document cites legal precedent to support delaying any decision to strike this evidence until after the government has presented its case at trial.
This document is page 49 of a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) filed on October 29, 2021. It argues for the admissibility of 'Minor Victim-3's' testimony, stating it is necessary to counter expected defenses that the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell) played no role in procuring girls for Jeffrey Epstein. Footnote 11 provides extensive legal analysis distinguishing this case from precedents (Cummings, Townsend, Mahaffy, Nektalov) regarding 'other crimes' evidence and Rule 404(b), arguing that the abuse of Minor Victim-3 is direct proof of the conspiracy rather than a distinct, unrelated crime.
