Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, S2 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)¶
Dear Judge Nathan:¶
The Government respectfully submits this letter in response to the Court’s June 25, 2022 Order directing the Government to respond to the application by and to speak at the defendant’s sentencing (Dkt. No. 675).¶
With respect to individuals who were not among the six individuals demonstrated at trial to be directly and proximately harmed by the defendant’s criminal conduct, in a June 24, 2022 Order, the Court exercised its discretion to permit these other individuals to be heard at sentencing through a written statement, and declined to permit these individuals to speak at the sentencing hearing.¶
While the Government would not oppose their application to speak at sentencing, as a legal matter, this request would appear to be governed by the Court’s June 24, 2022 Order, and the Government is not aware of any distinguishing factors in the present application.¶
Respectfully submitted,¶
DAMIAN United States Attorney¶
