Case 18-2868, Document 283, 08/09/2019, 2628241, Page417 of 883
37. However, I was not interested in news articles that just discussed the story in
general or other aspects of the story. Also, I was not interested in those articles where Ms.
Maxwell or those acting on her behalf, such as Mr. Gow, would just generally deny the
allegations in the complaint'®. I was specifically interested in only those articles that referenced
directly or quoted the statements made against Ms. Giuffre in the 2 January 2015 email message
from Mr. Gow, Ms. Maxwell’s subsequent confirmation of the statements, or similar statements
as those in the message from Mr. Gow. Naturally, this narrow focus is a smaller subset of news
articles than are the articles addressing the overall story.
38. To isolate these articles of interest, I generated a series of 10 queries!” that
specifically targeted news articles from the case that addressed the statements made against Ms.
Maxwell (e.g., Ghislaine Maxwell obvious lies) to retrieve a set of articles that directly related to
the statements made against Ms. Giuffre'*. I employed a modified snowball technique’, starting
with one seed query, adding and modifying terms, until I was not retrieving new results. I also
located some articles via navigating from the set of retrieved articles.
39, I set the search range date from 2 January 2015 onward, so articles prior to that
date were not included in the search results. For each article used in my analysis, I also verified
the date that the article was published to ensure it was published on or after 2 January 2015 and
that the articles directly referenced in some way the statements made against Ms. Giuffre.
40. An example of a search engine results page in response to one of these queries is
shown in Figure 3.
