Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 767 Filed 08/10/22 Page17 of 257 2850 LCKVMAX2 Summations —- Ms. Moe 1 family was struggling financially. She didn't have her own bed 2 to sleep in. Things were really tough at home. She had big 3 dreams of working in the arts one day. She was talented. 4 When Annie was 16, she lived with her mother who was 5 supporting her daughters by herself on a limited income. Annie 6 was hoping to go to a good college. 7 When Kate was 17, she lived with her mother who had 8 been sick. Things were difficult at home and Kate was alone a 9 lot. And she was dazzled by this impressive woman who made her 10 feel special. 11 When Carolyn was 14, she lived with her mom, a single 12 mom who was an alcoholic. She had previously been sexually 13 abused by family members and she told Maxwell about that. 14 Make no mistake. Selecting these girls was predatory 15 behavior. Maxwell and Epstein picked vulnerable girls. They 16 found kids who needed something. They were exploiting that 17 need. 18 So what was the next stage of the playbook? It was 19 isolating the girls. Maxwell and Epstein got them alone in 20 Epstein's enormous houses, alone on trips to Epstein's 21 sprawling ranch, his mansion on the Upper East Side. They got 22 them alone in massage rooms. They were away from their 23 parents. 24 Remember how Jane told you that her mother was never 25 invited when she would spend time with Maxwell and Epstein? SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
