About

The trial record placed Virginia Roberts in testimony and records concerning Carolyn's introduction to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach house, flights on Epstein's planes, and a family connection to Mar-a-Lago. Defense counsel stated in opening that Roberts was paid by Epstein to recruit women for massages and offered Carolyn an opportunity to meet him.

Carolyn testified that Roberts brought her to the Palm Beach house for what she understood would be a paid massage, and that Maxwell was present when they entered. Alessi described seeing Roberts with Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago and later at the residence; Visoski and Rodgers gave evidence concerning flights involving Roberts. The court also considered proposed Mar-a-Lago employment records concerning Roberts and Sky Roberts, finding employee-supplied dependent information in one exhibit would require verification, while allowing another record as probative of the family's connection to Mar-a-Lago during the relevant period.
