ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge:
Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of conspiracy
to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; enticing a
minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2422 and 2; conspiracy
to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371; transporting
minors to participate in illegal sex acts, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2423 and 2; and two charges
