This document is an internal DOJ email chain from November 28, 2021, the day before opening statements in the trial of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. A senior prosecutor (Assistant US Attorney) sends a motivational email to SDNY staff contrasting their willingness to prosecute historical sex crimes with prosecutors in Florida, outlining the logistics for the trial (courtrooms, overflow rooms), and stating that Maxwell exploited underage girls. Subsequent emails in the chain involve staff coordinating attendance and seat reservations for the opening arguments.

"There are prosecutors who would be afraid to charge a case that would require them to prove sex crimes that took place in 1994. If you want to find them, you’ll have to go to Florida. This is the Southern District of New York."Source
"Ghislaine Maxwell sexually exploited underage girls. She caused unspeakable harm to vulnerable kids. It is time to hold her accountable."Source
"At this trial, brave women will take the witness stand and the truth will come out"Source
