This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, USA v. Maxwell) filed on August 10, 2022. Defense attorney Mr. Pagliuca argues against the concept of 'conscious avoidance,' stating that the core issue is a factual dispute regarding the ages of alleged victims (specifically Jane and Kate) and whether the defense had any interaction with another individual named Carolyn. The defense cites testimony from Mr. Alessi stating he only saw two underage-looking individuals at Epstein's house, contrary to the inference of 'hundreds' of underage women.
