Odd testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

Apparently a woman named Kate testified today, one of four women the government is expected to call and are described in the indictment as victims.
The thing of it is the judge told the jury before she testified that she was over the age of consent at the time and thus was not a victim.
I'm sure the feds had a reason for calling her, but you would think they would prefer witnesses who are victims as opposed to those who are not.
Actually, I have no idea what's going on with the trial.

Maybe she was one such recruiter, or maybe the prosecutors are using her to establish their general sex work/abuse pattern regardless of the age of the girl, or maybe she was forcibly raped by Epstein (he did that to to some girls) and the judge is pulling a Rittenhouse.
