Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020380.jpg

This legal document from May 27, 2021, argues that a renewed motion for Ghislaine Maxwell's release should be denied.

It captures the final sentences of prosecutor Ms. Comey's closing argument, urging the jury to find the defendant guilty of sexual abuse of underage girls.

Court transcript / trial proceedings
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00014565.jpg

This document is a transcript of a prosecutor's (Ms. Comey's) rebuttal in a criminal trial, likely against Ghislaine Maxwell. Ms. Comey argues that the jury should rely on the powerful and consistent testimony of multiple victims, as sexual abuse crimes rarely produce documentary evidence. She highlights that three separate victims gave similar accounts of the defendant touching their breasts and using massage as a prelude to sexual abuse, which serves as strong corroboration of guilt.

Legal document

DOJ-OGR-00014564.jpg

This document is a page from a prosecutor's (Ms. Comey) rebuttal in a criminal trial, filed on August 10, 2022. The prosecutor argues that the defendant was knowingly complicit in a sexual abuse scheme, citing a list of masseuses, a Palm Beach house, and a $30 million payment characterized as 'we-molested-kids-together money'. The prosecutor urges the jury to focus on the powerful testimony of victims like Jane, Kate, Carolyn, and Annie, and dismisses the defense's arguments about missing evidence as a distraction.

DOJ-OGR-00014562.jpg

This document is a page from the court transcript of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), specifically the beginning of the government's rebuttal argument delivered by prosecutor Ms. Comey.

Court transcript (rebuttal argument)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00014550.jpg

This document is a transcript of a closing argument by defense attorney Ms. Menninger in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Menninger argues for Maxwell's acquittal on 'Count Six', which relates to an accuser named Carolyn, by attacking Carolyn's credibility and claiming she never traveled to New York as alleged. The attorney also distances Maxwell from any involvement in the travel of another individual, Annie Farmer, to undermine the government's broader conspiracy theory involving Maxwell and Epstein.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020379.jpg

This document is a page from a government legal filing (Case 21-58) responding to Ghislaine Maxwell's complaints regarding her incarceration conditions at the MDC. The text refutes Maxwell's claims of sewage flooding by clarifying that the cited precedent (Tiffany Days) occurred at the MCC, not the MDC. Additionally, it counters her claim of 'solitary confinement' by detailing her 13-hour daily access to a day room equipped with computers, a phone, and a TV, while noting she requires protective custody for her safety.

Legal filing / court document (government response/brief)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020377.jpg

This legal document is a filing by the Government in response to an appeal by Maxwell regarding her pretrial confinement conditions. The Government argues that Maxwell's complaints about disruptive nighttime flashlight checks are unsubstantiated and do not demonstrably interfere with her trial preparation. The document also refutes Maxwell's accusations of misrepresentation, clarifying a statement made by Government counsel and explaining an acknowledged inaccuracy in information received from the MDC.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020375.jpg

This legal document is a page from a court order denying a renewed motion by an individual named Maxwell for temporary release from confinement. The court relies on the 'law of the case' doctrine, stating that Maxwell has not provided a compelling reason, such as new evidence or a change in law, to justify reversing its prior decision. The court also dismisses Maxwell's arguments concerning a recent letter briefing and a written order by Judge Nathan, affirming the previous finding that Maxwell is a flight risk.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020374.jpg

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that a 'renewed motion' from a defendant named Maxwell is meritless. It cites legal precedents (United States v. Hochevar, Stack v. Boyle) and procedural rules to assert that the motion is not properly before the court. The document further states that a lower court judge, Judge Nathan, did not err in previously finding three times that Maxwell is a flight risk and denying bail.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020373.jpg

This page from a legal filing (Case 21-58) discusses the court's affirmation of Judge Nathan's decision to deny Ghislaine Maxwell bail. The text argues that MDC's nighttime security protocols do not interfere with Maxwell's trial preparation and notes procedural errors in Maxwell's filing of a 'renewed motion' rather than a new appeal or proper motion in District Court. It cites Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure regarding the untimeliness of the motion.

Legal court document (appellate filing/opinion)
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020370.jpg

This page from a legal filing (Case 21-58) argues that Ghislaine Maxwell's motion should be denied. It details Judge Nathan's previous findings that MDC's security protocols—specifically regarding night monitoring and eye coverings—do not interfere with Maxwell's trial preparation. The document affirms that previous denials of bail and release have been upheld.

Legal court filing / government brief
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020369.jpg

This document is page 11 of a court filing dated May 27, 2021, concerning Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). It details the Government's response regarding Maxwell's request for an eye mask and a dispute over nighttime flashlight checks. Judge Nathan denied Maxwell's request to modify the monitoring schedule on May 14, 2021, noting that Maxwell's claims were unsupported by an affidavit and that flashlight checks are standard procedure for all inmates.

Court filing / legal brief
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020368.jpg

This document page, part of a legal filing from May 2021, details the Government's response to Judge Nathan regarding 'flashlight surveillance' of Ghislaine Maxwell at the MDC. It explains that while general population inmates are checked hourly and SHU inmates every 30 minutes, Maxwell is checked every 15 minutes due to an 'enhanced security schedule' and 'heightened safety and security concerns,' despite not being on suicide watch.

Court filing / legal brief
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020367.jpg

This legal document outlines the procedural history of a case involving a defendant named Maxwell. After Maxwell appealed two of Judge Nathan's bail decisions and was denied pretrial release on April 27, 2021, she did not file a renewed motion. Instead, on April 29, 2021, she submitted a letter to Judge Nathan requesting the court to order the MDC to stop or justify the 15-minute light surveillance that was disrupting her sleep.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020366.jpg

This legal document details the court's denial of a bail application filed by the defendant, Maxwell, on February 23, 2021. Judge Nathan found Maxwell's arguments about her confinement conditions unpersuasive and reiterated that her detention was necessary due to her being a flight risk, citing her substantial international ties, financial resources, and a "lack of candor regarding her assets" at the time of her arrest. The judge concluded that even a substantial bail package could not reasonably assure Maxwell's future appearance in court.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020362.jpg

This legal document, dated May 27, 2021, is a court filing outlining the allegations against Maxwell. It details her alleged role as a co-conspirator with Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of minors between 1994 and 1997, including identifying, enticing, and grooming victims. The document also references a Superseding Indictment that expanded the charges and the conspiracy timeline to 2004, and notes that Maxwell lied under oath in a civil deposition to conceal her crimes.

Legal document
2025-11-20

DOJ-OGR-00020361.jpg

This document is page 3 of a Government legal filing dated May 27, 2021, opposing Ghislaine Maxwell's renewed attempts for bail. It outlines the procedural history, noting that Judge Nathan previously denied bail twice and that the appellate court affirmed these denials on April 27, 2021. The document states that Maxwell's trial is scheduled to begin on November 29, 2021, and begins a Statement of Facts regarding her indictment.
