Among the victims induced or enticed by GHISLAINE
MAXWELL, the defendant, were minor victims identified herein as
Minor Victim-1, Minor Victim-2, and Minor Victim-3. In
particular, and during time periods relevant to this Indictment,
MAXWELL engaged in the following acts, among others, with
respect to minor victims:
a.
MAXWELL met Minor Victim-1 when Minor
Victim-1 was approximately 14 years old. MAXWELL subsequently
interacted with Minor Victim-1 on multiple occasions at
Epstein's residences, knowing that Minor Victim-1 was under the
age of 18 at the time. During these interactions, which took
place between approximately 1994 and 1997, MAXWELL groomed Minor
Victim-1 to engage in sexual acts with Epstein through multiple
means. First, MAXWELL and Epstein attempted to befriend Minor
Victim-1, taking her to the movies and on shopping trips.
MAXWELL also asked Minor Victim-1 about school, her classes, her
family, and other aspects of her life. MAXWELL then sought to
normalize inappropriate and abusive conduct by, among other
things, undressing in front of Minor Victim-1 and being present
when Minor Victim-1 undressed ih front of Epstein. Within the
first year after MAXWELL and Epstein met Minor Victim-1, Epstein
began sexually abusing Minor Victim-1. MAXWELL was present for
EFTA00024600
--- PAGE 8 ---
and involved in some of this abuse. In particular, MAXWELL
involved Minor Victim-1 in group sexualized massages of Epstein.
During those group sexualized massages, MAXWELL and/or Minor
Victim-1 would engage in sex acts with Epstein. Epstein and
MAXWELL both encouraged Minor Victim-1 to travel to Epstein's
residences in both New York and Florida. As a result, Minor
Victim-1 was sexually abused by Epstein in both New York and
Florida. Minor Victim-1 was enticed to travel across state
lines for the purpose of sexual encounters with Epstein, and
MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with
Minor Victim-1 after Minor-Victim-1 traveled to Epstein's
properties, including in the context of a sexualized massage.
b.
MAXWELL interacted with Minor Victim-2 on at
least one occasion in or about 1996 at Epstein's residence in
New Mexico when Minor Victim-2 was under the age of 18. Minor
Victim-2 had flown into New Mexico from out of state at
Epstein's invitation for the purpose of being groomed for and/or
subjected to acts of sexual abuse. MAXWELL knew that Minor
Victim-2 was under the age of 18 at the time. While in New
Mexico, MAXWELL and Epstein took Minor Victim-2 to a movie and
MAXWELL took Minor Victim-2 shopping. MAXWELL also discussed
Minor Victim-2's school, classes, and family with Minor Victim-
2. In New Mexico, MAXWELL began her efforts to groom Minor
Victim-2 for abuse by Epstein by, among other things, providing

an unsolicited massage to Minor Victim-2, during which Minor
Victim-2 was topless. MAXWELL also encouraged Minor Victim-2 to
massage Epstein.
c.
MAXWELL groomed and befriended Minor
Victim-3 in London, England between approximately 1994 and 1995,
including during a period of time in which MAXWELL knew that
Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18. Among other things,
MAXWELL discussed Minor Victim-3's life and family with Minor
Victim-3. MAXWELL introduced Minor Victim-3 to Epstein and
arranged for multiple interactions between Minor Victim-3 and
Epstein. During those interactions, MAXWELL encouraged Minor
Victim-3 to massage Epstein, knowing that Epstein would engage
in sex acts with Minor Victim-3 during those massages. Minor
Victim-3 provided Epstein with the requested massages, and
during those massages, Epstein sexually abused Minor Victim-3.
MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with
Minor Victim-3 on multiple occasions, including at times when
Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18, including in the context
