Case 18-2868, Document 280, 08/09/2019, 2628232, Page67 of 74 Contrary to Defendant’s misleading, cherry-picked fragments of information she has chosen to use to support her point, there is an abundance of evidence clearly linking Defendant to Epstein’s sexual exploitation of minors. As the Court is aware, numerous message pads were recovered from Epstein’s home indicating Defendant’s involvement in and knowledge of Epstein’s illegal exploitation. ** Additionally, numerous employees and others have testified about Defendant’s high-ranking position in the hierarchal structure of the sexual exploitation scheme. > In fact, multiple individuals, in addition to the Ms. Giuffre, have testified about Maxwell’s involvement in the exploitation of minors, including Ms. Giuffre.** Defendant also argues that one government investigator, Palm Beach, Florida, Detective Recarey, may not have been aware of her involvement in the sex trafficking. Defendant fails to cite another passage in Detective Recarey’s deposition, where he noted that he was aware of Defendant’s involvement with Epstein and the sexual exploitation of children.** But even assuming Recarey was unaware (which Ms. Giuffre strongly disputes), Defendant would have, at most, a “yes-I’m-a-sex-trafficker-but-I-successfully-hid-it-from-one-of-the-cops” defense — again, not a likely claim. More broadly, Ms. Giuffre’s statement about what the “Government” knew about sex trafficking was made in pleadings filed in a federal Court case attacking the decision of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida to offer Jeffrey Epstein immunity from prosecution for federal sex trafficking crimes. Accordingly, to present an even arguable claim for summary judgment, Defendant would have to show that the U.S. Attorney’s Office (and its See, e.g., McCawley Dec at Exhibit 28 (message pad excerpts), GIUFFRE 001412, 001418, 001435, 001446, 001449, 001453, 001454. *3See McCawley Dec. at Exhibit 21, 1, Rodriguez Dep.
