PROCEEDINGS
(10:05 a.m.)
Let the record reflect that there are
17 grand jurors present and that the foreperson is present.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is
and I am an Assistant United States Attorney
here in the Southern District of New York.
Can everyone hear me okay? All right. I SP
everybody's heads nodding. Thank you.
I am here today to present for your consideration
a proposed superseding indictment charging Ghislaine Maxwell
in six counts. This indictment is virtually identical to
the indictment that you returned last week charging Maxwell
in those same six counts except that it corrects two
clerical errors, or two typographical errors that were
contained in Counts Five and Six which are the perjury
charges.
As a result, I will not be presenting any new
evidence or new witnesses today. Instead, I will identify
for you those two clerical errors in the indictment. I will
point out the portion of the exhibits that you saw last week
that provide the correct information. Then I will identify
the corrected portion of the superseding indictment in the
proposed superseding indictment.
Before I do that though, I must ask you all the

same preliminary questions that we went over last weex.
First, do any of you believe that you personally know or
have met the proposed defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell? I see
no hands.
Next, have you any heard or read about, or learned
anything Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein or anyone else
related to this case, if you could just raise your hand? I
see a number of hands. Virtually every hand is in the air.
You can all put your hands down. Thank you.
As you know, you must make your determination as a
grand jury based on the evidence presented before you in the
grand jury, in this room alone. Accordingly, you must set
aside any other knowledge you may have about this case or
the people involved in it, and base your decision solely on
the evidence presented to this grand jury to determine
whether there is probable cause to believe that the charges
in the proposed indictment were committed.
Is there any grand juror here today who cannot
follow these instructions? I see no hands. Just to be
sure, is there any grand juror here who would have any
difficulty setting aside the outside information you may
have about the defendant or the facts of this case? I se=
no hands.
Finally, do any of you believe you know me in
anything other than my professional capacity? I see no
