This document is a court transcript from a hearing on July 31, 2009, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida. The hearing was presided over by Judge Donald W. Hafele and involved a motion to add punitive damages against Jeffrey Epstein. The plaintiff's counsel, represented by Bradley J. Edwards, argued for the addition of punitive damages based on allegations of sexual misconduct and coercion into prostitution involving minors. The defense, represented by Robert D. Critton, Jr., argued against the motion, citing inconsistencies in testimonies and previous statements made to the FBI. The court ultimately granted the motion to amend the complaint to include punitive damages.
