Case 22-1426, Document 58_02/28/2023, 3475901, Page213 of 221 A-413 38 MeSQmaxl 1 me is specific and highly technical. Does the preponderance of 2 th vidence demonstrate that the offense to sex traffic 3 Carolyn continued after November 1, 2004 before she turned 18 4 in early 2005?

As Carolyn further explained, she returned more than 17 four or five times to Epstein after she gave birth to her son 18 in March of 2004, and that testimony is supported by message 19 pads entered at trial that show Carolyn called Epstein several 20 times in the summer of 2004: Once in late April or early May 21 again on July 6, and again on July 30. When she did return to 22 Epstein, Carolyn testified Epstein asked if she had younger 23 friends, and she explained during her testimony that at 18 24 years old, she was too old for him.
