“materially different” from the allegations in the Indictment. The
evidence indicated that Maxwell transported Jane to New York for
sexual abuse and conspired to do the same. Maxwell knew that the
evidence also included conduct in New Mexico.*? Furthermore,
Maxwell cannot demonstrate “substantial prejudice.” Maxwell
received—over three weeks before trial—notes of Jane’s interview
recording the abuse she suffered in New Mexico. This is enough to
conclude that Maxwell was not “unfairly and _ substantially”
prejudiced.*°
5. Maxwell’s Sentence Was Procedurally Reasonable
Lastly, Maxwell argues that her sentence was procedurally
unreasonable because the District Court erred in applying a leadership
sentencing enhancement under the Sentencing Guidelines and
inadequately explained its above-Guidelines sentence.*! We disagree.

*” As the District Court found, “[t]he Indictment charged a scheme to sexually abuse
underage girls in New York. In service of this scheme, the Indictment alleged that Epstein
and the Defendant groomed the victims for abuse at various properties and in various
states, including Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico.” A-393.
50 See United States v. Lebedev, 932 F.3d 40, 54 (2d Cir. 2019) (concluding that a defendant was
not “unfairly and substantially” prejudiced because “[t]he government disclosed the
evidence and exhibits . . . four weeks prior to trial”).
51 At sentencing, the District Court calculated a Guidelines range of 188 to 235 months’
imprisonment and sentenced Maxwell to a slightly above-Guidelines term of 240 months’
imprisonment.
