Moe: "The crime happened the moment they crossed state lines." Pictured: Where "Jane" makes her appearance in Count 1, anonymized here as "Minor Victim-1."

AND another thing I wonder about. All the names on the flight list for the private jet that flew to that private island. I wonder, for what reason were all these people going to that private island???
And NEVER with their wives, own GF, or families!

In Count 6—the sex trafficking charge—prosecutors need to prove a "commercial sex act" to commit. Here, Moe says, that element is met by the hundreds of dollars Carolyn testified she received by being enticed to give Epstein sexualized massages. She's "Minor Victim-4."

Moe counters defense line that Maxwell's being prosecuted for Epstein's acts: "Let me be very clear: The evidence at this trial showed that Ghislaine Maxwell made her own choices." "She's a grown woman who knew exactly what she was doing," Moe adds.

Turning to the comment by Maxwell's attorney Bobbi Sternheim during opening statements that the case is about "memory, manipulation, and money." "Defense counsel was exactly right, but not in the way she intended," Moe adds.

Emphasizing this is a case about money, Moe points to the hundreds of dollars given to Carolyn for "sexual abuse." As for memory, Moe said the witnesses "told you about searing memories of childhood sexual abuse."

It sure seems like there is an awful lot left out of this story, doesn't it?

Moe speaks about the "haunting" memories of "trauma" the witnesses testified about: "You remember an adult woman groping your breasts. You remember a middle-aged men touching your vagina."

Moe slams the testimony by the defense's expert Elizabeth Loftus as biased and a distraction: "She has made a name for herself as a 'Witness for the Defense' in high-profile trials," the prosecutor said of Loftus, quoting the title of her book

Yet Moe notes that Loftus backed up a crucial part of the prosecution's argument: For memories involving trauma, the peripheral details may change, but the core memories remain stronger, Loftus told jurors. (Moe recapped that testimony.)

The defense argued that the witnesses were financially motivated based on their multimillion-dollar settlements with a fund meant to compensate Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Moe notes that those civil cases are over.

Gov. says Epstein paid Maxwell $30.7 million in the early-to-mid 2000s. $18.3 million, $5 million, $7.4 million...When Maxwell took that money, she knew what it was for…it was payment for committing terrible crimes with Jeffrey Epstein."

She says that jurors' "common sense" tells them that the witnesses are not just all lying. Their common sense also tells them that Maxwell is guilty, Moe says. With that, she concludes the government's summations.

Now trying to pick up bits and pieces from other reporters…

Ghislaine Maxwell 'knew exactly what she was doing,' prosecutor says in closing argument

Maxwell frequently jotted down notes on yellow post-its in the courtroom on Monday while listening to Moe's argument, which focused largely on Jane, a pseudonym for a woman who testified that she was first abused by Epstein when she was 14 in 1994 and that Maxwell sometimes participated in the encounters.
……
"The lengths the defense went to try to discredit Jane just tells you how devastating her testimony was," Moe said.

The government also just released exhibits showing 16-yr-old Annie Farmer, whom Epstein & Maxwell preyed on during a trip to NM. During closing arguments today, prosecutors repeatedly emphasized that the couple was spending time alone with teenage girls to groom them for abuse.

“This is straight-up sensationalism”

Laura *Menninger - "Jeffrey Epstein died and then everybody lawyered up."

“Memories have been manipulated in aid of the money," Ghislaine Maxwell's defense says in their closing args.

#GhislaineMaxwell's lawyer Laura Menninger is still presenting her closing argument. At the beginning, she cited derided the govt's portrayal of Maxwell as “Cruella de Vil and the [Devil] Wears Prada all wrapped into one”.

The defense still have to explain what all these young women were doing hanging out with Madame Maxwell & Epstein in the first place.
