About
Matt testified on Day 3 as Jane's former romantic partner and continuing friend, recounting conversations from their relationship about her family's financial hardship and assistance from a godfather-like figure later identified as Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Matt, Jane said that conditions were attached to the assistance and that she had to do things she did not want to do, including massages. He testified that she said the conduct began when she was 14, and he described her limited disclosure and demeanor when discussing it.
The government offered Matt's account in response to defense challenges to Jane's credibility. Before he testified, the defense disputed whether his anticipated account qualified as prior-consistent-statement evidence and objected to wording that could suggest other people were minors. The court permitted leading questions to avoid that implication, limited the examination to issues the defense had specifically raised, and instructed the jury to disregard two portions of Matt's answers after sustaining objections.
