Alison Moe

Alison Moe represented the government and conducted Jane's direct examination on Day 2, developing testimony about her home life as a teenager, alleged encounters involving Epstein and Maxwell, delayed disclosure, and her wish to remain anonymous. On Day 3, Moe used redirect to address prior interview notes, memory, financial assistance, and compensation; Jane said she had no financial stake in the trial's outcome. Moe also examined Matt about Jane's earlier disclosures concerning Epstein, with the court limiting the permitted prior-consistent-statement testimony.

Moe developed documentary and physical-evidence foundations through several government witnesses. She examined Patrick McHugh about bank records and transactions attributed to Maxwell and Epstein, Kelly Maguire about the search of Epstein's Manhattan residence and recovered materials, and Nicole Hesse about Palm Beach message pads admitted under seal. During the defense case, Moe established that Raghu Sud's available travel-agency records began in 1999 and questioned Eva Andersson Dubin about Epstein and Maxwell's relationship, her limited knowledge of the Palm Beach house, and reported memory difficulties.

Her evidentiary advocacy frequently addressed defense challenges to memory, motive, and the scope of corroborating records. Moe argued that prior consistent statements could answer claims of recent fabrication, distinguished permissible bias questions from inquiries involving privileged communications, and contested the handling of exhibits and witness materials. The court nevertheless imposed its own limits: it restricted questioning about Jane's possible civil recovery, excluded proposed schoolgirl-outfit evidence on relevance and prejudice grounds, and rejected a proposed summary-witness presentation while directing the government to make the exhibit connections in closing argument.

On Day 14, Moe delivered the government's closing argument. She organized the proof around an alleged repeated playbook, testimony from Jane, Annie Farmer, Carolyn, and Kate, and records including flight logs, message pads, contact-book pages, household materials, and bank records; she also answered defense attacks concerning memory, compensation, and credibility. After closing, she defended the government's use of Exhibit 52, and during deliberations she opposed responses that she argued would add speculation to an ambiguous Count Four jury question. The court referred the jury to the written charge and later denied the defense's renewed request for a supplemental instruction.
