The Court should allow these victims to present their statements detailing the impact of Maxwell's crimes on them to advance the cause of justice. FACTUAL BACKGROUND As the extensive evidence at trial has revealed, Maxwell was involved in a far-reaching long-running sex trafficking conspiracy. As the Court recently explained, Maxwell was found guilty after a lengthy jury trial of a \"decade-long unlawful agreement with the Defendant's continuous coconspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. The overarching conspiracy—which, as the Government argued and proved at trial, employed a single 'playbook' to groom and sexually abuse underage girls—constitutes a single conspiracy offense with multiple victims.\" (Dkt. 657 at 2–3).

Epstein and Maxwell promised them that they would use their connections in the fashion industry to advance the victims' educations and careers. But there was a cruel catch.
