This document is a court transcript of an opening statement by Ms. Sternheim, likely the defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell. Sternheim argues that the four accusers, using pseudonyms, have fabricated or altered their stories decades after the alleged events, particularly after Epstein's death, in order to get a "payday." She urges the jury to focus on the themes of memory, manipulation, and money, and states that expert testimony will be presented to show how memory is unreliable and can be contaminated over time.

The attorney argues that the four female accusers, who are using pseudonyms, are unreliable witnesses motivated by money ("a payday"). She claims their stories have changed over time, were only told after Epstein's death, and are based on flawed, contaminated memories, which will be discussed in expert testimony.
