About

Paul Kane, the director of finance at Professional Children's School, testified about the school's admissions and student-file practices. He authenticated Government Exhibit 761 as an enrollment application matching information in the school's database, although he could not verify every handwritten entry. Judge Nathan overruled a hearsay objection to the exhibit.

Kane read application entries concerning the student's proposed enrollment in 12th grade, prior school, stated reason for leaving, and move to New York. The application listed Jeffrey Epstein as financially responsible for the student's attendance.

On cross-examination, Kane said he found no records showing whether Epstein actually paid for the student's attendance and had no personal knowledge of where the student lived. On redirect, he explained that financial records were maintained separately from the student file.
