Jeffrey Epstein’s “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein’s chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein’s personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls’ schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein’s "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein’s properties to avoid law enforcement detection.While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein’s arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.to contact me:[email protected]

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdf

In this April 29, 2025 order, Judge John C. Judge denies Bryan Kohberger’s motion to strike the death penalty from the case and his accompanying request to implement alternative trial procedures based on that removal. Kohberger’s defense had argued that the State’s intent to seek the death penalty was flawed due to alleged constitutional and procedural defects, including vague statutory language, the burden imposed on the defense, and the manner in which aggravating factors were presented. However, the court rejected these claims, finding that Idaho’s death penalty procedures are legally sound and do not warrant dismissal at this stage. Judge Judge emphasized that many of the defense’s arguments are better suited for consideration after the trial, during the sentencing phase or through appellate review if a conviction occurs.Additionally, the court declined to adopt the defense’s suggested modifications to trial procedures, such as a bifurcated guilt-and-sentencing structure or adjustments to jury selection criteria. Judge Judge ruled that existing Idaho criminal procedures provide sufficient due process and that there is no legal basis to preemptively alter them based solely on the possibility of a capital sentence. The ruling solidifies the prosecution’s ability to pursue the death penalty against Kohberger, keeping capital punishment on the table if he is convicted of the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students.to contact me:[email protected]:042925+Order+on+Defendants+Motion+to+Strike+Death+Penalty+and+Adopt+other+Necessary+Procedures.pdf
