Ghislaine Maxwell Attended Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding After Skipping Deposition in Case Against Epstein

/6 Comments/in , /by

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding instead of sitting for a deposition in a civil suit filed against Jeffrey Epstein by one of his accusers, according to court documents unsealed Friday.

Maxwell – who’s now behind bars for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein – was photographed in 2010 peering on from a crowd as former President Bill Clinton walked his daughter down the aisle, despite claiming at the time she was tied up with family affairs in Britain.

The British socialite was subpoenaed in 2009 to testify in a case lodged against Epstein by his alleged victim Virginia Guiffre, according to the court documents.

Maxwell initially agreed to be deposed, lawyers for Guiffre wrote in the 2016 motion.

She coordinated “a convenient time and place” with Guiffre’s attorneys and even secured a “confidentiality agreement” in exchange for her seemingly reliable testimony. (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Attended Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding After Skipping Deposition in Case Against Epstein” HERE)

Epstein Victim Who Testified Against Ghislaine Maxwell Has Died—and Her Family Wants Answers

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Carolyn Andriano, a victim of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein whose testimony was crucial to putting away his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, has died.

There was no obituary or funeral service after she died earlier this year, and police in West Palm Beach, Florida, opened an investigation into her death. After The Daily Beast reached out for comment, police spokesman Mike Jachles told us that the investigation was concluding and that Carolyn died of an accidental overdose.

The 36-year-old mother-of-five had planned to start a new chapter in North Carolina, at a new house with a fireplace and half-acre lot with a chicken coop. Carolyn and her husband, John Pitts, had purchased the property just weeks before she was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel room on May 23.

Before her death, “she was ecstatic,” Carolyn’s mother, Dorothy Groenert, told The Daily Beast. “She was all set up for a whole new lifestyle.” . . .

The way Groenert sees it, some things about her daughter’s overdose don’t make sense, and she wants cops to investigate further. (Read more from “Epstein Victim Who Testified Against Ghislaine Maxwell Has Died—and Her Family Wants Answers” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals Sex-Trafficking Conviction Over ‘Fatal’ Errors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Convicted sex predator Ghislaine Maxwell formally appealed her sex-trafficking conviction Tuesday, arguing prosecutors and the judge made a series of “fatal” errors during her case in Manhattan federal court.

Maxwell’s attorney Arthur Aidala said in a statement Tuesday the Justice Department had prosecuted his client as a “proxy” for Jeffrey Epstein to “satisfy public outrage” over the case in the aftermath of his sudden in-custody death.

He accused the government of working with Epstein accusers “to develop new allegations out of faded, distorted, and motivated memories.”

A Manhattan federal court jury convicted Maxwell on five of six counts in December 2021, including sex trafficking of minors, for helping pedophile financier Epstein groom girls and women for him to abuse. . .

Another Maxwell attorney, John Leventhal, had said in previous court filings that the appeal would focus on five points raising issues “pertaining to statute of limitations; a non-prosecutions agreement; juror misconduct and a post-verdict hearing; and sentence.” (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Appeals Sex-Trafficking Conviction Over ‘Fatal’ Errors” HERE)

Prison Pals: Epstein Accomplice Strikes up ‘Killer’ Friendship With Notorious Inmate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has become prison pals with notorious killer Narcy Novack who murdered her rich husband and her mother-in-law in a bid to get her hands on their estate, according to a new report.

The 60-year-old disgraced British socialite was sentenced to 20 years in federal lockup in June for procuring teenage girls for late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse.

Since her transfer to the low-security prison FCI Tallahassee in Florida, she’s struck up a friendship with Novack, who was convicted in the double slaying of her hotel heir husband, Ben Novack Jr. and her mother-in-law, Bernice Novack.

Maxwell and Narcy Novack allegedly bonded over their privilege as wealthy, White women, who shared the gilded lifestyle of multimillionaires before becoming inmates, the Daily Mirror reported.

“Once inside, Ghislaine gravitated toward Narcy,” a source told the British newspaper. ‘Together, they spend hours talking, laughing and joking.” (Read more from “Prison Pals: Epstein Accomplice Strikes up ‘Killer’ Friendship With Notorious Inmate” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Sex Trafficking Minor Girls for Jeffrey Epstein

By CNN. Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison Tuesday for carrying out a years-long scheme with her longtime confidante Jeffrey Epstein to groom and sexually abuse underage girls.

Maxwell, 60, did not testify in her defense during the trial late last year, which ended with her conviction on five counts, including sex trafficking of a minor. But on Tuesday she spoke in court to the victims shortly before the sentence was handed down.

“Jeffrey Epstein should have been here before all of you,” Maxwell said at the podium, her legs shackled. “It is not about Epstein, ultimately. It is for me to be sentenced.”

Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, acknowledged that she had been convicted in the sex trafficking scheme but stopped short of taking responsibility. (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Sex Trafficking Minor Girls for Jeffrey Epstein” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Victims Say Her Apology ‘Doesn’t Cut It’ as She’s Sentenced to 20 Years for Sex Trafficking

By New York Post. Ghislaine Maxwell’s victims said the convicted sex trafficker’s apology “doesn’t cut it” — as her attorney pledged to appeal her 20-year sentence handed down Tuesday.

Maxwell, 60, had bashed her former partner-in-crime Jeffrey Epstein as “manipulative” ahead of her sentencing in Manhattan federal court, adding she hoped her “harsh incarceration” would bring the victims closure.

“I wish she was sorry when she was busy forcing me into a room to be raped. She should have been sorry then,” accuser Sarah Ramsome later told reporters outside of the courthouse.

“As a matter of fact, there shouldn’t even be an apology. Rape is rape.”

Ransome, 37, had given a tearful victim’s impact statement saying she endured years of mental anguish and twice tried to kill herself after months of abuse. (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell’s Victims Say Her Apology ‘Doesn’t Cut It’ as She’s Sentenced to 20 Years for Sex Trafficking” HERE)

Lawyers: Inmate Claims She Was ‘Offered Money’ to Murder Ghislaine Maxwell

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell claim that her cellmate alleges she was offered financial compensation to kill the disgraced British socialite.

Global News reports:

Maxwell’s lawyers provided details of the alleged death threat in a pre-sentencing report Wednesday. They also made the case that Maxwell suffered an abusive upbringing, which made her vulnerable to Epstein’s influence, in arguing for leniency in her sentencing. Her lawyers wrote: “One of the female inmates in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep.”

Maxwell was convicted of helping to recruit teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse between 1994 and 2004. Her sentencing is slated for June 28 and she faces up to 55 years in prison. (Read more from “Lawyers: Inmate Claims She Was ‘Offered Money’ to Murder Ghislaine Maxwell” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Prosecutors Demand Her Retrial Request Be Public

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell told the judge on Friday that her request for a retrial must be made public.

“The government respectfully submits that the defendant has not justified her sealing request and, accordingly, the defense motion and its exhibits should be publicly docketed,” prosecutors told Manhattan federal court judge Alison Nathan.

Maxwell filed the request for a new trial under seal last month.

The former girlfriend of late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in December on five of six counts, including transportation of a minor with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity and the most serious charge against her, sex trafficking of a minor.

Now, however, Maxwell’s defense team is requesting a new trial after a juror said in media interviews that he was personally a victim of child sexual abuse, a fact he may not have disclosed during jury selection.

Prince Andrew Likely Dated Ghislaine, Pal and Ex-Royal Guard Claim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prince Andrew may have once dated Ghislaine Maxwell, according to friends and a former royal protection officer who claims Jeffrey Epstein’s madam was constantly “in and out” of Buckingham Palace.

Former palace cop Paul Page said in a new documentary that Maxwell became a regular visitor from 2001, the year Andrew and his sex accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, were photographed in Maxwell’s London home.

“From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, we realized — suspected — that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew,” Page said.

“A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day. She kept coming in and out, in and out,” he told the doc, “Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Pedophile,” set to air on Britain’s ITV in full on Tuesday.

A banker friend of Maxwell’s who socialized with the now-disgraced group shared the sentiment. (Read more from “Prince Andrew Likely Dated Ghislaine, Pal and Ex-Royal Guard Claim” HERE)

Maxwell’s friend told the Daily Mail that Scott Borgerson, 46, broke up with Maxwell on the phone while she was being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center.

“There was a dramatic phone call between them, while she was in jail in solitary confinement. It became confrontational,” the friend told the outlet. “Scott told her he had moved on and was seeing someone else.” . . .

Another anonymous source noted to the Daily Mail that Borgerson did not attend Maxwell’s trial. (Read more from “Report: Ghislaine Maxwell’s Husband Dumped Her Over Phone Call” HERE)

Unearthed Interview Reveals How Ghislaine Maxwell Helped Kill Vanity Fair Exposé

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ghislaine Maxwell savaged a Vanity Fair reporter nearly 20 years ago to help bury an exposé of her sex crimes — while claiming pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was generous and “very, very good” to his accusers, according to a newly released transcript of her rare interview.

Maxwell, now 60, did not testify during her sex-trafficking trial, in which her legal team insisted she was an innocent scapegoat for the “bad behavior” of Epstein, her late ex and longtime companion.

But she did speak out in 2002 — in a fiery interview that, like the planned exposé, never ran in Vanity Fair. Instead, the mag published a flattering puff piece titled “The Talented Mr. Epstein.”

Reporter Vicky Ward said it was her “eternal regret” that the magazine did not run the accusations by Maria Farmer and her sister Annie, whose testimony was key in Maxwell’s conviction this week.

Ward finally posted the full exchange with Maxwell on her Substack Thursday — saying it showed the disgraced British socialite “lied to me about not giving Annie Farmer a massage” and also repeatedly hailed Epstein’s “generosity” to his accusers.
