This document is a page from a legal filing in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed on April 16, 2021. The text argues against the defendant's claim that the prosecution is unfair due to the passage of time, citing the Retroactivity of Section 3283 and the 2003 Congressional amendment which extended the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse. It references legal precedents from the Eighth and Ninth Circuits to support the validity of prosecuting sex crimes decades after they occurred.
