Case 22-1426, Document 79, 06/29/2023, 3536060, Page19 of 93 exchange for meeting Epstein to be sexually abused, under the pretext of giving Epstein a massage. (Tr.1518-25, 1540-41, 1544-46). Once a girl was intro- duced to these sexualized massages, she was offered more money if she brought other girls to engage in sex- ualized massages. (Tr.1544-45). The trial evidence focused on six girls who suffered abusive sexual contact as a result of Maxwell’s crimi- nal actions: Jane, Kate, Annie, Carolyn, Virginia, and Melissa. 1. Sexual Abuse of Jane Maxwell and Epstein met Jane in 1994 when she was just 14 years old at a summer camp for talented kids. (Tr.290-94). Jane was particularly vulnerable, as her father had just died (a fact that she told both Ep- stein and Maxwell), and her family was struggling fi- nancially. (Tr.293-94). Maxwell and Epstein cultivated a relationship with Jane, spending time with her at Epstein’s Palm Beach home and taking her to the mov- ies and shopping. (Tr.295-302, 348). Maxwell and Ep- stein gave Jane gifts, and Jane came to look up to Max- well like an older sister figure. (Tr.298-301). Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused Jane start- ing when she was 14 years old, and the sexual abuse continued for years. (Tr.306-15). When Jane was still only 14 years old, Maxwell and Epstein instructed Jane to follow them to Epstein’s bedroom where Max- well and Epstein fondled each other, casually giggling, while Epstein asked Jane to take her top off.
