WOW.. TRANSCRIPT OF DAY 4 OF THE MAXWELL TRIAL: MASTERCLASS ON CHILD SEX ABUSE, ALESSI’S EYE-OPENING TESTIMONY INCLUDING VIRGINIA, ORDERS HE WAS UNDER, AND SO MUCH MORE!
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. – zero hyperbole and 100% facts in plain English about what’s going on with this administration and the law (it’s totally fine to share this article)
On the fourth day of the trial of Ghislane Maxwell – and by inference Jeffrey Epstein in absentia – you’re going to hear from witnesses of whom you likely have never heard, and one that you have.
The first is Paul Kane from the Professional Children’s School. He is the Director of Finance, and he is there to talk about how Epstein financed “Jane’s” tuition at the school.
But it is the *next* witness, Dr. Lisa Rocchio, whose testimony is going to open your eyes. Dr. Rocchio is a highly credentialed psychologist specializing in child sexual abuse trauma. What’s more, she’s an expert *forensic* psychologist. And she walks us through several aspects of that, including not just the trauma of the acts themselves, but what the *betrayal of trust*, the trust which the victim has been groomed to develop in the perpetrator – what that *betrayal* does to someone.
I think you’ll learn as much from the cross-examination as from the direct testimony. And note how the defense tries to make into a weakness the very thing that the prosecution has made a strength: namely that Dr. Rocchio does not know the victims, has never met with the victims, and is speaking from clinical and forensic expertise.
Also note how many of the defense’s questions for Dr. Rocchio aren’t really for her at all – they are the legal equivalent of political theater – they are legal theater for the jury.
But Dr. Rocchio, well, this isn’t her first rodeo (which I think rhymes with Rocchio) and she handles herself very well in the face of the defense’s trying to discredit her background.
And juuuust when you think “wow, this transcript was a two-fer!”.. .nope! Because here comes Juan Alessi on the witness stand!
Now some of you may know that Alessi served as something of a maintenance man, handyguy, and household overseer for Epstein. But did you know that before that he worked for… wait for it.. Les Wexner’s *mother*??
Alessi reveals a lot from the stand, including that Maxwell was in fact, at least for a time, Epstein’s girlfriend. I mean, we knew that, in our hearts, but here is corroboration. Alessi started working for Epstein in 1990, and when Maxwell arrived on the scene in 1991 she advised Alessi that she was now “the lady of the house”. Eventually she interfered with Alessi’s relationship with Epstein to the point that she instructed Alessi to only speak to Epstein when spoken to, and to never make eye contact with him.
And then there is this exchange:
Q. Over the years that you worked for Mr. Epstein, about how many times do you remember seeing the female guests by the pool?
A. Oh, many, many times. Over the 12 years that I work there, hundreds of times.
Q. And over those hundreds of times, about what percentage of the time were those females topless?
A. I would say 75, 80 percent probably.
75 TO 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME!!
Of course by seeing other girls topless, it would normalize it for anyone who was reluctant.
And by normalizing being topless, well…
You’ll also read what life was like for Juan Alessi under Maxwell and Epstein’s rule. Because that’s what it was. Just as the girls were treated like objects, so it was for Juan Alessi: he was an object to be subjugated.
And the household manual – oh..my…gawd. Maxwell apparently thought she was the freakin’ Queen of Epsteinland and all of the help were her subjects.
And it includes this very telling instruction:
“Remember that you see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing”.
Chilling.
And he talks about seeing Jane.. and Virginia. About picking Jane up from school.
And how *he saw Virginia at Mar-a-Lago*! And saw her arrive for the first time at the house! This is the first time that we have had an eye-witness to Maxwell’s meeting Virginia, verifying everything that Virginia said in terms of when and how she was ensnared by Maxwell!
There’s a lot more to Alessi’s testimony in this transcript. Be sure to look for where he talks about the Rolodex.

It will show me that my efforts aren’t in vain and that people actually *do* read these things, and it will drive those who just skim crazy wondering just why everyone is talking about a Rolodex! ;~)
