She is serving a 20-year sentence in Florida for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein. In her deposition, Maxwell claimed “I don’t recall meeting her” at Mar-a-Lago.īut Maxwell, 62, remains the only person to be convicted of any aspect of the conspiracy. Maxwell claimed Giuffre, who had worked as a 16-year-old spa attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 2001, lied about the abuse, prompting Giuffre to sue for defamation in 2015. So has virtually everyone named in the documents.

Clinton too has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. They allege that an underage girl, identified only as “Jane Doe 3”, was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations”.īuckingham Palace has said the allegations are “categorically untrue” and the British prince has always strongly denied wrongdoing. The documents contain allegations that Andrew participated in an “underage orgy” on Epstein’s private island. Showcased in the documents are Maxwell’s efforts to undermine the victims of the conspiracy – teenage girls who had been induced to give sexualized massages to Epstein and, Giuffre alleged, trafficked to members of his circle, including Prince Andrew and other men. Some justice for the survivors has, indeed, been achieved not nearly enough as hoped for and deserved,” McCawley added. “Some of those questions have been answered many have not. “The public has wondered and many have rightly demanded to know how Epstein operated his vast, global sex-trafficking enterprise and got away with it for decades,” said Sigrid McCawley, the lawyer representing Giuffre. So the question remains: given the vast nature of Epstein’s glamorous circle, will Epstein’s victims ever receive justice beyond Maxwell’s imprisonment and Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse suicide? But no one beyond Epstein and Maxwell is directly implicated in the conspiracy and that is very unlikely to change. Prominent figures such as the former US president Bill Clinton and the British royal Prince Andrew were named among the records that emerged from a defamation lawsuit filed against the British socialite and Epstein’s partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell by the victim Virginia Giuffre. Everyone would have known about it.”īut if the documents released so far tell one powerful story, it is that in the 1990s there was no lack of high-profile guests from across the globe who would gleefully accept the lavish hospitality of a corrupt financier with a private jet and a very private Caribbean island. An editor who worked at the magazine at the time said: “Bullshit.

They also mentioned an alleged visit by Bill Clinton to the offices of Vanity Fair in an attempt to get a profile on Epstein killed. Documents released overnight focused on the sex trafficking conspiracy’s recruitment of young women, including Ruslana Korshunova, a Kazakh-Russian model who killed herself two years after being flown to Epstein’s island.
