Court Filing: 494

The defense attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell argues that Accuser-3's evidence is not direct evidence of the sex trafficking conspiracy charged in Count Five and should be excluded under Rule 404(b) and Rule 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The government had argued that Accuser-3's evidence is admissible to prove the sex trafficking conspiracy, but the defense counters that the government's arguments are meritless and based on flawed assumptions.
