PETA Demands Federal Prison Accommodate Ghislaine Maxwell’s Vegan Diet

/0 Comments/in , /by

Animal-rights activist group PETA is demanding a federal prison accommodate Ghislaine Maxwell’s vegan diet to prevent her from “contributing to suffering.”

PETA sent a letter to the Metropolitan Detention Center on Tuesday demanding the federal prison provide Maxwell, a longtime confidant to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, with plant-based meals—”regardless of the accusations against her.” Maxwell was arrested in July on multiple charges related to sex trafficking and sexual abuse of young girls and is being held in the Brooklyn detention center without bail.

“Regardless of how anyone feels about Ms. Maxwell, no one should be forced to eat the corpse of an animal who felt pain and fear and didn’t want to die,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement.

PETA said its decision to advocate for Maxwell follows multiple reports that the facility has for months failed to provide her with meals suitable to her vegan diet. In the letter, addressed to the detention center’s warden, PETA said that providing vegan meals to Maxwell and other inmates can help end animal suffering. “Although none of us can stop all violence, by providing everyone with vegan meals, you have the power to prevent Ms. Maxwell and other inmates from contributing to suffering,” the organization said.

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell discussed Epstein accuser on phone

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell chatted on the phone about the Jeffrey Epstein accuser who accused the royal of sleeping with her as a teen, new court documents suggest.

Email correspondence from Jan. 3, 2015, between the British socialite and Andrew emerged in a deposition made public Thursday.

“Let me know when we can talk,” the queen’s embattled son allegedly emailed Maxwell. “Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.”

The exchange between the two close friends was first revealed last year in a BBC “Panorama” documentary.

It also appeared in the 465-page transcript of Maxwell’s deposition from 2016, taken as part of a since-settled defamation case brought against her by Giuffre — but with Andrew’s named redacted. (Read more from “Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell discussed Epstein accuser on phone” HERE)

Epstein Madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s Deposition Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, a court order revealed hundreds of pages of testimony from convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend and alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell. The FBI arrested Maxwell on charges of conspiracy, sex trafficking of minor children, and perjury in July. She is alleged to have been involved in Epstein giving “sexualized massages” to minors that led to rape. Yet the newly uncovered testimony came from a separate defamation lawsuit that Virginia Giuffre, one of Maxwell’s accusers, filed against her. A New York federal judge ordered the documents made public earlier this year, and an appeals court upheld that ruling on Monday.

Under fierce questioning from Giuffre’s lawyers in an April 2016 deposition, Maxwell repeatedly denied having recruited girls for Epstein, Bloomberg News reported.

In the 465-page deposition transcript, Maxwell denied a host of salacious claims, including accusations that she recruited a woman to carry Epstein’s child, that she brought girls to Epstein’s home to give them massages, and that she’d threatened others if they exposed Epstein’s secrets. . .

The deposition includes several pages about men allegedly connected to Epstein, but the court redacted their names.

Giuffre claimed that Maxwell and Epstein made her a sex slave at age 16. The alleged victim sued Maxwell in 2015 for dismissing her allegations as “obvious lies.” Maxwell later settled the case for an undisclosed account.

Woman Comes Forward With More Disturbing Allegations About Ghislaine Maxwell, Claims Her Life Was Threatened

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. A Manhattan-born woman has claimed that she was “gagged, restrained and raped” by Ghislaine Maxwell — before Jeffrey Epstein joined in on the attack, according to an interview published Sunday.

The new accuser — identified by the pseudonym “Samantha” — told The Sun that she was violently assaulted after she recruited a 19-year-old friend for the notorious pedophile and told her to lie that she was 16.

She claimed she was then summoned to Epstein’s Manhattan mansion where British media heiress Maxwell took her to a massage room and started screaming that she was a “dirty, filthy whore, [a] lying whore.”

“The next thing I knew she had a ball gag in my mouth, my hands around my back and she was raping me with a sex toy,” she claimed of the alleged attack when she was a 21-year-old Parsons student. . .

“I remember her giving me $300 and saying, ‘Don’t think about going to the authorities because you won’t be alive to see your day in court,’ or something like that,” Samantha told the paper.

Pleading to Keep Testimony Secret, Ghislaine Maxwell Says, ‘Don’t Let Cat Out of the Bag’; Maxwell’s Nephew Worked Under Hillary Clinton at State Department

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Miami Herald. Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed alleged madam to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, have asked an appellate court to keep sealed a controversial deposition of hers but failed in a much-anticipated filing to present new information they had learned in a separate criminal case that they said would bolster their argument for keeping the material under wraps.

The new filing from Maxwell hit the court docket Thursday night, hours before a deadline imposed by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York. It is hearing her appeal of an order by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska to unseal most documents in a civil lawsuit settled in 2017 between Maxwell and Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Maxwell contends the 413-page deposition, taken in 2016, was given with the expectation that it would not be used against her in other proceedings. In the new appeal filing, her lawyers warned that allowing the deposition into the public realm, especially as she faces criminal prosecution, would have a chilling effect on future witnesses.

“If the unsealing order goes into effect, it will forever let the cat out of the bag,” they warned in a 74-page filing, adding that doing so would also hamper Maxwell’s ability to get a fair trial in the criminal case.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Nephew Worked Under Hillary Clinton at State Department

By The Daily Beast. . .Now the celebrity tabloid OK! Magazine is reporting that ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “gifted” Maxwell’s nephew, Alexander Djerassi, a position within her department when he was just out of college and gave him “special treatment.”

A State Department spokesperson told The Daily Beast that Djerassi served as a “Staff Assistant” from May 2009 to June 2012. The Daily Beast could not confirm whether the role was in fact “gifted” by Clinton. . .

The report also appears to reference Djerassi’s LinkedIn profile, which lists his role as chief of staff for the “Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs” from May 2011 to June 2012. Djerassi served as special assistant to the office from May 2009 to May 2011, his online profile says.

Djerassi’s name also popped up in a collection of Clinton’s emails hacked via WikiLeaks. In a November 2011 message, Assistant Secretary Jeffrey Feltman referred to his “special assistant, Alex Djerassi.” Feltman mentioned Djerassi again in a January 2012 email, according to WikiLeaks.

Ghislaine Maxwell Allegedly Took Photos of Topless Girls as a Disgusting Hobby; Maxwell Attempts to Delay Publication of Epstein Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly photographed topless girls as a “hobby” — keeping the snaps with sex toys in Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion, according to court documents.

The British socialite “had an album full of photographs of people, young girls, girls,” Epstein’s former butler, Juan Alessi, said in an unsealed 2016 deposition revealed by DailyMail.com.

“And I remember that she had. Like a hobby … It was some girls were topless, taking the sun,” he said, while insisting they did not show “any vaginal or things.”

Alessi, 70, also said that he was given access to cash to pay “probably over 100” girls to massage Epstein and Maxwell — and would find sex toys in the room, which he would wash off, according to the Mail’s docs.

Ghislaine Maxwell Wants to Delay Publication of Jeffrey Epstein Records; Argues Feds Wrongfully Obtained Her Sworn Testimony

By New York Daily News. Ghislaine Maxwell sought a last-minute delay Wednesday of publication of reams of papers on Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme, arguing the perv’s accusers set a “perjury trap” that landed her in jail.

Maxwell’s request revolved around depositions she took in 2016 in connection with a mostly-secret civil lawsuit filed by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. Federal prosecutors cited statements Maxwell made in the depositions in an indictment charging her with perjury.

Maxwell attorney Ty Gee wrote prosecutors should not have had access to the deposition, which remains under seal through a protective order. Someone, he wrote, must have illegally leaked the transcript to the feds.

“The government had no ability legally to obtain the deposition transcripts,” Gee wrote.

“They set a perjury trap for Ms. Maxwell when (Giuffre) took her deposition.” (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Wants to Delay Publication of Jeffrey Epstein Records; Argues Feds Wrongfully Obtained Her Sworn Testimony” HERE)

Evidence in Ghislaine Maxwell Case Includes ‘Nude, Partially Nude, or Otherwise Sexualized Images’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Highly confidential evidence in the Ghislaine Maxwell case includes “nude, partially nude or otherwise sexualized images (and) videos,” a new court filing revealed Monday.

Maxwell, 58, is being held in MDC Brooklyn without bail while awaiting trial for grooming underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse. Prosecutors say she at times participated in the abuse of girls she manipulated.

The description of the evidence was included in a 13-page document placing restrictions on evidence that Manhattan Federal prosecutors will share with Maxwell’s defense team.

When the FBI raided Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion last year investigators found a stash of nude photographs of underage girls.

Prosecutors and Maxwell’s legal teams asked Judge Alison Nathan to resolve two disputes about the evidence. Maxwell’s attorneys wanted any witnesses — including alleged victims — to not be allowed to use evidence for any purpose beyond prepping for her criminal trial.

Epstein Floodgates Open as Judge Rules Explosive Docs Detailing Ghislaine Maxwell’s Sex Life Can Be Unsealed in Virginia Giuffre’s Defamation Case Within a Week

By Daily Mail. A judge today has ordered the unsealing of a vast tranche of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, which could shed light on his friendship with powerful men accused of having sex with his victims.

Judge Loretta Preska said that 80 documents – which will run to hundreds of pages – should be made public within a week.

The documents will include depositions from Ghislaine Maxwell, which could explain her alleged role in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.

They could include details about Maxwell’s sex life that her lawyers have previously tried to stop from being released, relating to a seven-hour, 418-page deposition Maxwell gave which her legal team said was ‘extremely personal, confidential’. . .

The documents will also include communications between Maxwell and Epstein from January 2015 when Virginia Roberts made explosive allegations about them in court papers.

What Ghislaine Maxwell’s Court Document Release Means for Prince Andrew and Others in Epstein’s ‘Little Black Book’

By Forbes. . .[I]t’s important to remember how crucial Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s narrative of her three alleged encounters with Prince Andrew are to her claims of being trafficked, specifically to London, specifically at the hands of Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein. In this sense it can be argued that the news of the release of the civil documents is worse for Prince Andrew than it is for his old friend Maxwell, since Andrew sits in a luxe sort of confinement of his own making, un-indicted but inexorably at the forefront of the thinking at every turn the criminal case against his friend takes. . .

For his part, Alan Dershowitz, a friend of Epstein’s who advised him as he squeaked out his generous deal from the Florida prosecutors upon his conviction in 2010, welcomed the release. Dershowitz said, “I’m thrilled that all the documents come out, because I have nothing to hide.” . . .

The content from the Roberts Giuffre lawsuit will land imminently, and its triggering effect of renewed, very public scrutiny of that time period in Epstein’s and in Andrew’s lives will present Prince Andrew and his “working group” of legal and public relations advisors with a choice. They will have to unfetter their hitherto unhurried approach toward a more cooperative posture with the American authorities, or, somewhat likelier, they will have to figure out how to employ that process as cover for a more successful groundhog-backing-slowly-into-his-burrow attempt than they have been able to provide the prince to date.

It’s up for grabs whether anybody can, or could, successfully bury the issue for the prince, but that possibility seems far more remote now. Either way, the news of the document release of the Roberts Giuffre civil action is bad for Andrew, and as more documents than these immediate ones will be made public by Judge Preska, the retired prince’s legal and public relations prospects for the coming months look rough.

Report: Ghislaine Maxwell Fears for Her Life, Believes She Might Meet the Same Fate as Jeffrey Epstein

By Fox Now. Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, believes the convicted pedophile was murdered while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges and fears the same end, according to a friend.

“Everyone’s view, including Ghislaine’s, is Epstein was murdered,” one of her friends told The U.S. Sun. “She received death threats before she was arrested.”

Maxwell has been charged with conspiracy and perjury in a multi-state sex trafficking ring involving three unnamed minors between 1994 and 1997. . .

Maxwell’s friend, who was “in regular contact with Maxwell at her secret New Hampshire hideaway,” claims death threats ahead of her arrest forced the British socialite to hire security guards and led her to believe she, like Epstein, would not live to see her day in court.

Neighbors of Ghislaine Maxwell and Her Tech CEO Lover Were So Disgusted When They Learned an Accused Sex Trafficker Was Living in Their Midst They Tried to ‘Ostracize’ Couple and Compel Them to Leave Quiet Massachusetts Town

By Daily Mail. Ghislaine Maxwell’s neighbors were so disgusted when they discovered an accused sex trafficker was living among them that they tried to harass her into leaving, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

It led to a court case where Maxwell’s 14-years-younger lover Scott Borgerson successfully fought the neighbors’ decision to prevent them from using paths and a beach near their Massachusetts oceanfront property, part of the 40-acre estate shared by other owners. . .

But in February 2019 neighbors learned the quiet, well-dressed woman in their midst had been accused of procuring young girls for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — and they decided to act.

‘They were absolutely appalled to learn who they were allowing to have the run of their property,’ one resident told DailyMail.com.

‘The second they learned she was involved with Epstein they decided to try to limit how much they could use their land.’ (Read more from “Neighbors of Ghislaine Maxwell and Her Tech CEO Lover Were So Disgusted When They Learned an Accused Sex Trafficker Was Living in Their Midst They Tried to ‘Ostracize’ Couple and Compel Them to Leave Quiet Massachusetts Town” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Is Secretly Married

By New York Post. Ghislaine Maxwell secretly wed to safeguard her fortune amid her legal woes, a friend claims in a new report.

The pal believes the hidden marriage — a bombshell revelation at Maxwell’s court hearing — was likely orchestrated “to protect the money she had,” the Times UK reported.

Prosecutors say the British heiress is linked to 15 different bank accounts, some with balances of more than $20 million, and that she keeps other accounts in foreign countries containing more than $1 million. . .

“No one knew she was married,” the ex-chum told the outlet, adding that she had been in a relationship for a while with the tech entrepreneur Scott Borgerson.

“I don’t know of any other guy who she has actually seen.” (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Is Secretly Married” HERE)

Maxwell’s secretly married husband may be CEO Scott Borgerson, member of CFR

By Lia Eustachewich. Though the British heiress — who is accused of helping the late billionaire perv Jeffrey Epstein target underage girls — didn’t say the name of her mystery spouse, reports suggest it could be British tech CEO Scott Borgerson.

Maxwell was linked to the divorced dad last year when the Daily Mail said she was living at his oceanfront mansion in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. . .

He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the co-founder and CEO of CargoMetrics Technologies, which specializes in analyzing data on global shipping, according to his LinkedIn page.

His online résumé also says he spent four years in the US Coast Guard, as both a commanding officer and navigator, and worked as an assistant professor at the US Coast Guard Academy.

Borgerson earned a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and “has advised the White House on maritime policy,” per LinkedIn. (Read more about Maxwell’s secretly married status HERE)
