Where in the World Is the Notorious Ghislaine Maxwell?

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .In July, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking, and in August he killed himself in his prison cell while awaiting trial. Since then, attention has turned to Maxwell, 57, his right-hand woman. Yet Maxwell has seemingly vanished. “From what we know, Ghislaine Maxwell was a principal enabler to Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive,” says the lawyer Dan Kaiser. Kaiser is representing Jennifer Araoz, one of the women who says she was raped by Epstein, and who is suing his estate, Maxwell and three other “enablers”.

“She was integral in maintaining the sex trafficking ring,” says Kaiser. “She provided important administrative services in terms of the hiring of recruiters, and management of those employees, the making of appointments and dates for interactions between Mr Epstein and the underage girls that were providing sexual services to him. She also maintained the ring by intimidating girls, by ensuring their silence.”

Kaiser continues: “Jeffrey Epstein couldn’t have done what he did for as long as he did it without the services of somebody like Ghislaine Maxwell. She is as culpable, in my judgment, as Jeffrey Epstein himself.” Maxwell has always denied the allegations and has never faced criminal charges. Her lawyer has not responded to a request for comment. . . .

It is alleged that Maxwell was not only an enabler for Epstein’s abuse, but took part in it. In her Panorama interview, Giuffre, then known as Virginia Roberts, recounted how Maxwell and Epstein abused her at his Palm Beach house after Maxwell had recruited her from her job working as a spa attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. In 1996, Farmer says Maxwell and Epstein sexually assaulted her. She went to the police as well as more than one FBI agent, none of whom took action. She also spoke to Ward in 2002 for a Vanity Fair profile – Ward has since said that the then-editor Graydon Carter cut out the entire part about Farmer and her sister after being pressured by Epstein. A spokeswoman for the magazine has said: “Epstein denied the charges at the time and since the claims were unsubstantiated and no criminal investigation had been initiated, we decided not to include them in what was a financial story.” . . .

Maxwell and Epstein’s relationship seems to have been complex. Sarnoff says Maxwell once told her she wanted very much to marry Epstein. “Maxwell is very clever,” Sarnoff says. “In spite of her personal insecurities, as a result of her father’s death and financial challenges, I believe she nevertheless knew exactly what she was doing when she agreed to solicit girls on his behalf. However, I don’t think that phase of their relationship began until she understood Epstein would not marry her.” (Read more from “Where in the World Is the Notorious Ghislaine Maxwell?” HERE)

Prince Andrew Accuser Makes Public Plea for Help If ‘Something Happens’; Epstein-Funded Scientist George Church Is Creating a Genetics-Based Dating App

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Virginia Roberts Giuffre pleaded for the public’s help in the event that “something happens” to her, noting “in no way, shape or form am I suicidal.”

The 35-year-old woman posted her cryptic message to Twitter late Tuesday in response to someone else’s tweet, writing in part: “Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”

Giuffre, who has repeatedly accused Prince Andrew, Duke of York, of having sex with her when she was 17, is one of the alleged sex trafficking victims of financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. . .

A spokesperson for Royal Communications later said in a statement to FOX Business the duke “unequivocally regrets” his association with Epstein and “emphatically denied” reports that Andrew ever had any sort of relationship with Giuffre.

Epstein-Funded Scientist George Church Is Creating a Genetics-Based Dating App

By Daily Beast. Harvard biologist George Church already had to apologize for palling around with Jeffrey Epstein even after the financier pleaded to guilty to preying on minors a decade ago. Now he’s raising eyebrows again—with plans for a genetics-based dating app.

In an interview with 60 Minutes, Church said his technology would pair people based on the propensity of their genes, when combined in children, to eliminate hereditary diseases.

“That sounds like eugenics,” Fordham adjunct ethics professor and science journalist Elizabeth Yuko, who studies bioethics, told The Daily Beast on Monday. (The tech and science news site Gizmodo called Church’s idea “an app only a eugenicist could love.”)

Yuko compared the app, as described, to the Nazi goal of cultivating a master race: “I thought we realized after World War II that we weren’t going to be doing that,” she said. . .

Epstein had a twisted take on genetics, hosting scientific conferences at which he expressed his desire to propagate his own genome by impregnating up to 20 women at a time at his New Mexico ranch, like cattle stock.

Epstein Posed with Weinstein and Dressed as Navy SEAL for Prince Andrew’s Daughter’s Birthday Bash

/0 Comments/in , /by

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was photographed dressed as a Navy SEAL next to disgraced filmmaker Harvey Weinstein during Prince Andrew’s daughter’s 18th birthday soiree.

Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell this year while awaiting sex trafficking charges, was reportedly close friends with Weinstein, who has been accused by multiple women of sexual abuse and is slated to go on trial in January. Epstein’s then-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also part of the grinning trio and can be seen wearing a gold masquerade mask in the photo released by the Sun.

Andrew, who has spent considerable time with Epstein, was accused of rape by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and, although he has denied the allegations, he has been relieved of his duties in light of the public backlash. A second woman has also come forward and accused Andrew of having sex with her.

The picture of the three was snapped just about a week before Epstein was arrested for the first time and charged with one count of soliciting prostitution. Epstein was under investigation by authorities while he attended the exclusive party, which included the likes of celebrities such as Demi Moore, Kelly Osbourne, and Sir David Frost. . .

An undisclosed source said that the photo “sums up just why the Epstein affair has been so disastrous for Andrew. He brought these people into the royal fold, to Windsor Castle no less, where they could rub shoulders with the great and good. It is an astounding lack of judgment at the very least.” (Read more from “Epstein Posed with Weinstein and Dressed as Navy SEAL for Prince Andrew’s Daughter’s Birthday Bash” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Banker Found Dead; Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein Were ‘Spies’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Louder With Crowder. Here’s an odd one. Banker Thomas Bowers, who worked for a bank that managed Jeffrey Epstein’s funds, was recently found dead from an apparent suicide which, according to the Los Angeles Coroner’s Report, was via hanging. He was 55 years old. Weirder is that those outlets reporting on the banker’s death seem adamant to tie the banker and Deutsche Bank to Donald Trump. Not Jeffrey Epstein. It took a little digging, but here’s what I’ve found.

Thomas Bowers was the head of wealth management at Deutsche Bank as early as 2012. According to The New York Times, Epstein was a client of their private-banking division since 2013.

Deutsche Bank executives are still trying to understand the depth and scope of the bank’s relationship with Mr. Epstein, who has been a client of its private-banking division since at least 2013 — years after his conduct became public in a prostitution case involving a teenage girl. Mr. Epstein struck a lenient plea deal that included a non-prosecution agreement from federal authorities, and the case has been held up as a glaring example of how the wealthy and well-connected can evade consequences.

. . .

Forensic News said this of Bowers:

One source who has direct knowledge of the FBI’s investigation into Deutsche Bank said that federal investigators have asked about Bowers and documents he might have. Another source who has knowledge of Deutsche Bank’s internal structure said that Bowers would have been the gatekeeper for financial documents for the bank’s wealthiest customers.

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein Were Spies Who Used Underage Sex to Blackmail Politicians, ‘Ex-Handler’ Claims

By The Sun. Ghislaine Maxwell and her paedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein were both Israeli spies who took pictures of powerful men having sex with underage girls to blackmail them, their alleged Mossad handler has sensationally claimed.

The pair allegedly ran a “honey-trap” operation where they would provide young girls to politicians in order to squeeze them for information for the Israelis.

The unsubstantiated claims have been made by Ari Ben-Menashe who claims he is a former Israeli spy.

Ben-Menashe claims that he was the “handler” of Ghislaine’s dad Robert Maxwell, who was also a spy, and that it was the former newspaper baron who introduced Epstein and his daughter to the Israeli intelligence agency.

He makes the unverified claims in a new book called “Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales”. (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein Were Spies Who Used Underage Sex to Blackmail Politicians, ‘Ex-Handler’ Claims” HERE)

New Suit Claims Epstein Abuse in 1985, Says He and Pals Raped 13-Year-Old Girl; Why Is Bill Clinton Escaping Scrutiny in Jeffrey Epstein Case?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. Nine more women have come forward with claims that they were sexually abused by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, with one accuser saying she was just 13 when the abuse began.

The lawsuit, filed in New York state court in Manhattan on Tuesday, alleges incidents of sexual abuse between 1985 and 2007. The accusers are listed as Jane Doe I through Jane Doe IX and their claim is against Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, the executors of Epstein’s estate, which is valued at $577 million. . .

Jordan Merson, a lawyer for the nine women, told Fox News that he was open to a fund “that has the goal in mind of asset allocation and not asset preservation … If the idea is, ‘We are going to give each of these women a little bit of money and make sure that it’s OK,’ that is unacceptable. All of my clients have been severely injured. Horrible mental issues that they live with on a daily basis as a result of what this man did to them.” . . .

Seven of the accusers claim that “Epstein and his associates sexually assaulted, abused and battered” them. Six say they were raped, and two of those say the abuse happened “repeatedly.”

The earliest allegation against Epstein, made by Jane Doe II, dates from 1985 when she was 23 years old. Another allegation, made by Jane Doe I, dates from 1990 when she was 14 years old. The other seven accusers say their abuse by Epstein started between 2000 and 2007. Two of those accusers, Jane Doe III and Jane Doe IV, were 13 and 15 years old, respectively, when they met Epstein. The other five were between 19 and 22 years old. (Read more from “New Suit Claims Epstein Abuse in 1985, Says He and Pals Raped 13-Year-Old Girl” HERE)

Investigative Journalist: Why Is Bill Clinton Escaping Scrutiny in Jeffrey Epstein Case?

By Fox News. Following a bombshell interview in which Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, an investigative reporter is asking why former President Bill Clinton is not being discussed.

On “The Story,” New York Post writer Maureen Callahan claimed it is odd that Andrew is most notable person to become embroiled in the alleged scandal so far.

“It seems very curious that so far the highest-profile man to be potentially taken down by this — because we don’t know what’s going to happen yet — though this does not look good for Andrew … is, in essence, a dim, useless member of an aging monarchy,” Callahan told host Martha MacCallum. . .

“We know, for example, that Bill Clinton was on planes owned by Jeffrey Epstein, was on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island multiple times,” Callahan added. “I cannot believe we’re not talking about him.”

Last month, a woman with accusations against the convicted pedophile described a disturbing encounter with him aboard his jet. (Read more from “Investigative Journalist: Why Is Bill Clinton Escaping Scrutiny in Jeffrey Epstein Case?” HERE)

SEE IT: Newly Uncovered Photos Show Prince Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell; FIVE MORE Women Want Prince Andrew to Testify

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Newly-unearthed photographs show convicted pedophile and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein with Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell in June 2000 at Ascot racecourse in the United Kingdom.

“Epstein, dressed in a top hat and morning suit, has a grin across his face as he walks with Miss Maxwell and the Duke of York through the heart of the British establishment,” The Daily Mail reported. “It was during this time that Miss Maxwell and Epstein were to attend Windsor Castle, just a few miles from the racecourse, as guests of the prince for his birthday.” . . .

A second photograph from a slightly different angle and moment in time shows Maxwell next to Prince Andrew.

Last month, Prince Andrew gave an interview to the BBC that ended up being disastrous for him, according to a poll conducted by Sky News.

“People were asked what they thought of an interview the duke did with BBC Newsnight, during which he denied having sex with a 17-year-old girl at the home of the disgraced billionaire’s ex-girlfriend in London in 2001,” Sky News reported. “Just 6% of people polled said they believed the explanations he gave in the interview, with 51% saying they did not believe him and 43% saying they were unsure.” (Read more from “Newly Uncovered Photos Show Prince Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell” HERE)

Now Five More Women Want Prince Andrew to Testify: Accusers Say Duke Saw Jeffrey Epstein Abusing Them and Must Speak to the FBI

By Daily Mail. Five of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers want Prince Andrew to give evidence in US courts and say the duke must talk about what he witnessed to the FBI.

Their lawyer claims the Duke of York witnessed men being given massages at the financier’s homes, the BBC’s Panorama programme revealed on Monday night.

Pre-trial witness subpoenas have been prepared for the five cases and could be served on the prince if he was ever to set foot in the United States again.

Prince Andrew has said he never saw anything untoward at Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida or the Caribbean. (Read more from “Now Five More Women Want Prince Andrew to Testify: Accusers Say Duke Saw Jeffrey Epstein Abusing Them and Must Speak to the FBI” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Accuser on Prince Andrew: ‘He Knows What Happened’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. Virginia Roberts, who claims she was trafficked by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew on three occasions nearly 20 years ago, has responded to the prince’s denial of her allegations against him by saying: “He knows what happened, I know what happened, and there’s only one of us telling the truth.”

Roberts, now known as Virginia Giuffre, made the comment in a BBC interview that is scheduled to air on Monday. The broadcaster tweeted out a 20-second preview of the interview on Thursday.

The BBC aired an interview with Prince Andrew Nov. 14, in which the second son of Elizabeth II discussed his friendship with Epstein and the sexual assault allegations against him. The royal, 59, claimed he had “no recollection of ever meeting” Roberts, “none whatsoever.” The Duke of York also implied that a now-famous photograph showing him with his hand around Roberts’ waist was doctored.

“I have absolutely no memory of that photograph,” the prince insisted. “I’m afraid to say that I don’t believe that photograph was taken in the way that has been suggested.”

The interview has been widely considered a public relations disaster for Andrew, who announced shortly after it aired that he would be stepping down from his royal duties. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Accuser on Prince Andrew: ‘He Knows What Happened'” HERE)

Epstein Accuser Says Prince Andrew Told Her ‘Thank You’ After She Was Forced to Have Sex With Him

By Fox News. A woman who claims Jeffrey Epstein paid her to have sex with Prince Andrew says in her first TV interview that the Duke of York thanked her after their first sexual encounter.

“He was an abuser. He was a participant,” Virginia Roberts Giuffre says of Andrew in an interview with NBC Dateline set to air Friday night. The interview with Giuffre includes five other Epstein accusers, including three who are speaking publicly for the first time.

Giuffre repeats accusations she has made in court papers that when she was 17 in 2001 she was forced to have sex with Andrew. A photo released by a New York appeals court in August shows Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s bare waist. Giuffre says it was taken in the apartment of Epstein’s longtime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001. . .

Giuffre says the encounter took place first in the bathroom and then the bedroom.

“He wasn’t rude or anything about it, but he said thank you – some kind of soft sentiment like that – and left.

Barr Concludes What Happened to Clinton Buddy Jeffrey Epstein

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell not long after he was mysteriously taken off suicide watch, despite a recent attempt to take his own life this past summer. The guards watching him were rent-a-cop level, they falsified prison logs, and had fallen asleep on the job. Shrieks were heard near his cell the day he died. All of this is sketch city and for once, the conspiracy theory crowd was not dismissed. Epstein had ties to some of the most powerful and wealthiest people on the planet, including the Clintons. His private island was reportedly wired for sound; can you say blackmail tapes? And the search warrant executed for his New York residence yielded troves of incriminating evidence to back up the not-so-new allegations that he was a child predator. He was indicted for trafficking underage girls and other sex crimes. He escaped justice in early 2000s thanks to a sweetheart deal he cut with then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, a piece of history that was resurrected by the Miami Herald which reported on Epstein’s plea deal which showcased what money and connections can afford you when you get into trouble. This legal arrangement cost Acosta his job as Trump’s labor secretary.

There were conflicting medical analyses as well. One saying that Epstein had killed himself, another that cast doubton that conclusion due to the wounds around his neck. The latter autopsy was conducted by Epstein’s brother who noted the neck injuries were more consistent with homicide than suicide. I mean all of this was just too good to be true. The man potentially had dirt on oodles of people; Epstein also had ties to the British Royal Family. Yet, Attorney General Barr now says that the events that occurred prior to Epstein’s death were a disaster, but that the child predator committed suicide (via NYT):

Attorney General William P. Barr said in an interview published on Friday that the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, in a secure federal prison resulted from “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” rather than any nefarious act.

Mr. Barr’s statement refuted suggestions from members of Mr. Epstein’s family that he may have been murdered. His remarks came the same week that two prison guards were criminally charged, accused in an indictment of failing to check on Mr. Epstein every half-hour as they were required to and then lying about it on prison logs.

Epstein’s Ex-Housekeeper Has Dirt on Prince Andrew; Prince KICKED OUT of Buckingham Palace

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-housekeeper for his New Mexico ranch said Prince Andrew was given a beautiful young neurosurgeon to keep him company when he visited, according to an investigative podcast.

Prince Andrew has become embroiled in controversy ever since the late alleged child sex-trafficker’s arrest in July. Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre named the Duke of York as having sex with her when she was 17 years old while he was hanging out with the disgraced millionaire. He has denied the allegations.

Deidre Stratton, a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, said in a September podcast episode of “Epstein: Devil in the Darkness” that the prince stayed at the ranch on his own and was “kept company” by a young woman. The episode was first unearthed by the Sun on Thursday evening. Stratton said the woman would often ask for herbal tea to help make the prince “horny,” according to the interview. . .

The former housekeeper continued on to say the young woman understood that she had to entertain Prince Andrew. Stratton explained two theories on why the woman was trying to please the prince, according to the podcast.

“I’m guessing she understood her job was to entertain him because I guess, the fear, I don’t know — the fear would be that Andrew would say ‘no, I didn’t really find her that attractive,’” Stratton said. “He would tell Jeffrey that and then she would be on the ropes.” (Read more from “Epstein’s Ex-Housekeeper Has Dirt on Prince Andrew” HERE)

Prince Andrew Forced to Move Office out of Buckingham Palace: Report

By Fox News. Prince Andrew was ordered to move his private offices out of Buckingham Palace in the wake of an announcement he made that he would be formally relinquishing his official duties following a nuclear interview he gave to the BBC. In it, he defended his longtime friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, according to The Times of London on Friday.

The paper reported Andrew’s own mother, Queen Elizabeth, gave the Duke of York his walking papers as he continues to face a slew of criticism amid allegations he had sex with an underage girl.

In the BBC interview, the 59-year-old prince attempted to establish an alibi for a key New York trip in the Epstein scandal, in which Andrew claimed he had stayed with former diplomat Sir Thomas Harris, the consul-general in New York at the time. Allegations made against him by accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre were impossible, Andrew said in the sit-down conversation, according to the New York Post.

Andrew also stated during the interview that he has “no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”

However, Giuffre maintained in court filings that the convicted sex offender Epstein forced her to have sex with Andrew at least three times, recalling the prince “sweating all over me” on a London dance floor. Andrew, denying the claim, has pointed to his “stay” with the consul-general and claims that he cannot sweat as a consequence of a war injury.

Report: Epstein Guard to Reveal Details About Pedophile’s ‘Suicide’; Prince Andrew ‘Fired’ By Queen Elizabeth

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Tova Noel, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, will reportedly cooperate with prosecutors and divulge details about the night Epstein reportedly killed himself.

Noel was one of two guards arrested and charged for reportedly falsifying records to cover up her absence for the period of time in which accused serial pedophile Epstein reportedly hanged himself. . .

On Wednesday, Noel’s legal team said that she is considering a plea deal in which she will offer up information on the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s prolific death.

“Ms. Noel remains available to fully and truthfully cooperate with the Inspector General’s investigation, which is also geared toward uncovering the many problems that existed from the commencement of her employment which continue to plague the Metropolitan Correctional Center,” Noel’s defense lawyer Jason Foy said in a statement obtained by the outlet.

Noel’s legal team did not specify what information their client could offer up. (Read more from “Report: Epstein Guard to Reveal Details About Pedophile’s ‘Suicide'” HERE)

Prince Andrew Didn’t Step Back from Royal Duties – Queen Elizabeth ‘Fired’ Him

By NY Post. Prince Andrew didn’t step down from royal duties — he was fired by his mom, Queen Elizabeth II, according to reports in the UK.

“The Queen summoned the Duke to Buckingham Palace to tell him her decision,” one of Andrew’s friends told the Sun of the Duke of York’s downfall that royal experts have called “monumental.”

“It was a devastating moment for both of them. His reputation is in tatters,” the source said, referring to the overwhelming backlash from his BBC interview discussing his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“It is unlikely he will ever perform royal duties again. He is disgraced,” the source told the paper.

Both the Daily Mail and Metro UK newspapers said on their front pages Thursday that Andrew had been “banned” from further duties, with the Mail saying he was “forced” into Wednesday’s announcement.
