Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 97-14 Filed 12/14/20 Page 2 of 2 December 1" 2020 The Honorable Alison J. Nathan United States District Court Souther District of New York United States Courthouse 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 Ghislaine Maxwell Your Honor, ine has been a friend of mine for over 25 years Ghislaine, without judgment or prejudice, offered me a roof over my head PY WEE free of charge or bill payments until I could get back on my feet so to speak. I had nothing to give her and she had nothing to gain from me living there. Given those circumstances I think it says a great deal about Ghislaine’s moral character: in particular her loyalty and kindness towards someone who could offer her nothing in return. When another friend subsequently offered to pay rent for me this was still at a substantially lower than market rate. I want to conclude by saying that never in my wildest dreams do I think Ghislaine could be guilty of the terrible charges against. Like anyone charged with any crime, she is innocent unless proven guilty and has a right to due process and humane treatment and should be treated accordingly. Yours respectfully, DOJ-OGR-00002060
