Case 18-2868, Document 280, 08/09/2019, 2628232, Page60 of 74 was not a limited public figure for failing one element of the Lerman test and thus denying defendant’s motion for summary judgment) (“The defendant has proven all of the elements but the third ...”), aff'd, 65 F. App’x 984 (6th Cir. 2003). Of course, proof that Ms. Giuffre (or anyone else) is a limited purpose public figure requires proof of a set of facts from which Ms. Giuffre believes Defendant has not shown in satisfaction of the four-part test. Significantly this Court should pause here to note that the details of Jane Doe 3’s sexual exploitation and abuse, as anonymously set forth in her CVRA joinder motion, caused the Defendant to identify, with certainty, Jane Doe 3 as Ms. Giuffre. Yet, at her deposition, Defendant claimed to “barely remember her at all.”*’ Defendant’s ability to immediately and positively identify the anonymous individual making claims of sexual abuse, if anything, shows that Defendant was intimately aware of Ms. Giuffre’s sexual exploitation. And, to be sure, Ms. Giuffre never asked to be sexually abused or trafficked by Defendant or convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when she was a child — legally, she did not even have the capacity to consent. Defendant cannot recruit a minor child for sexual exploitation and then, afterwards, argue that her victim injected herself into the public controversy when coming forward about the abuse she suffered. Moreover, Defendant has not made a sufficient showing that Ms. Giuffre has “regular” and “continuing” access to the news media. The policy rationale behind this prong is that public figures generally enjoy significant access to the media. One reporter wrote some articles on Ms. Giuffre in 2011. Thereafter, it was not until 2015, that Ms. Giuffre spoke to someone in the news media about these issues, and that interview was granted after Defendant’s defamatory remarks. Such limited contacts precludes a finding that Ms. Giuffre is a limited public figure. See 47 See McCawley Dec. at Exhibit 11, Maxwell Dep. Tr. at 44:23-45:4 (July 22, 2016) (“Q. You do remember Virginia, about that time back in the 2000s, giving Mr. Epstein massages? A. I barely remember her at all.”’). 52
