Ghislaine Maxwell Trial

[orangepeelsz]

Is there a thread anywhere regarding the ghislaine maxwell trial? I've searched and can't find one anywhere

@artquejtion No problem at all! If you want some more background the Miami Herald paper was instrumental in fully investigating his crimes (and by extension Maxwells)

Gawker, before they went bankrupt were equally relentless:

CDAN also had a lot "Blind Items" about Epstein:

All the court orders from the Maxwell case can be found here:

Maxwell gave a 420 page deposition for the Virginia Guiffre case in 2016 which this YouTuber narrated:

Not easy on the eye is it?

A red vinyl padded cell and all of it rammed to the rafters with mis-matched sofas

I had to snigger at the ones in the gym too. Who'd want to take a breather on everyone else's dried up arse sweat?!

@Roussette

Those pictures... well, bearing in mind there's a picture of Ghislaine (with Kevin Spacey) sat on thrones in Buckingham Palace, JE and GM went to parties at Windsor Castle, and they both holidayed at Sandringham... nothing would surprise me.

I'm no great Royalist but how yuk to think they were staying in the Queen's private bolthole.... two sex traffickers of minors. Andrew has a lot to answer for.

Entirely agree.

Altough Andrew has form for being associated with some pretty eye-opening events being staged in royal premises in an apparently private capacity. The Beckhams 'birthday princess' party, anyone?

Andrew is just so stupidly naive and imagines he is above criticism of any sort. Also, having read up about him over the years, he is really impressed by huge wealth... not ordinary wealth, but super wealth, which is why he was attracted to the despots and dodgy oligarchs of the middle east.

Naive, thick and arrogant.

If only he'd limited it to despots and oligarchs he might have got away with the wide-eyed innocence of his older brother.

@Roussette

Goodness only days. How weird to have all those sofas in the gym

The whole place seems to have almost viewing areas

Yes, Cassie, that's what I imagined.

Maria...

Annie Farmer is the witness in court today.

Yes, there's a summing up in this link.

(disclaimer... it's horrible)

16. Say no more.

Ghislaine was a 'facilitator'.

That's a good word

That account is horrific

Striking though she says she felt 'more comfortable' because Maxwell was there.

Echos of Ian Brady and Fred West who used female partners to lure their their victims and give them a false sense of security.

Yes yes yes.

And Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. Young ones feel more comfortable with a woman there. Sorry to bring them up, but I honestly think this is what it's like.
A man roaming around trying to engage young teens would just not work, but SHE did that bit.

[quote BelleHathor]No problem at all Rousette. The court has made accesing the full trial very difficult this time. The pre trial motions at least had a public access phone number to listen in, which some streamers used to rebroadcast live (very naughty!).

As to why there seems to be a lot of silence regarding the trial? Epstein and Maxwell had a lot dirt on very powerful people. His black book read like a who's who of movers and shakers...... www.gawker.com/here-is-pedophile-billionaire-jeffrey-epsteins-little-b-1681383992[/quote]
Bloody hell - the Names in that 'black book' !!! Trump, Kennedys, UK Royalty, Blair, Mandelson, US industrialists/old money, Hollywood, UK actors, various European 'celebs', its almost more noteworthy who isn't on it than who is. Its worse than I could have imagined.

In the sky documentary it says the little black book was full of her contacts and most of them he hadn't met?

The stories of Annie Farmer and her sister Maria. Bloody awful, and they had been trying to get Maxwell and Epstein investigated for years.

Maria Farmer felt safe with Epstein because he and Ghislaine 'acted like a married couple'. So you would, wouldn't you. How disgusting she is, enabling her boyfriend like this.

And what she went through at their hands was appalling. They both did their best to ruin her career, and they had a lot of power to do that in NY, her life was threatened, she moved numerous times and had to change her name to hide from them.

If anyone hasn't watched Netflix on JE 'Filthy Rich', it is really worth a see.

@ Rousette, yes, I watched the Netflix JE documentary, I still can't believe how his sentence was carried out, he was able to go to work daily in his office and regularly slept in his own home rather than in his cell. And no one has been held accountable for that debacle. I feel the series just scratched the surface though.

I also would love to know why Maxwell was not charged at the same time as Epstein was, it's clear they worked together, this is not new evidence that just came about recently.

Prosecutors rest case after 10 days,, a short recess now, the case for the Defense starts on Thursday.

Thanks for posting OP I to was surprised at the scant coverage by MSM considering she was a british socialite, and the ? Over P.A involvement.

@Roussette

Ghislaine was a 'facilitator'.

That's a good word

Yes, I agree.

@artquejtion
Yes exactly. The 'sweetheart deal' as it was called was just abhorrent. How that came about, god alone knows, I believe Trump's Acosta got him off. Along with Dershowitz, another friend of Trump.

It was proven he was sex trafficking hundreds of underage girls, yet he was charged with just a prostitution charge. I read Acosta was scared of his power and influence. The evidence was overwhelming and he should've been put away for decades.

The Defence will be brutal won't it.

These brave women will be besmirched, smeared and insulted in every which way.

@Roussette

The Defence will be brutal won't it.

These brave women will be besmirched, smeared and insulted in every which way.

Yes. It’s sickening but she has money and connections. You only have to look at how JE went about preparing for his defence to see how it will go 😡

would love to know why Maxwell was not charged at the same time as Epstein was, it's clear they worked together, this is not new evidence that just came about recently.

Epstein reached a deal to not only protect himself but also his "employees" in exchange for pleading guilty in the Florida case. It's why after he had "served" his sentence it was back to business as usual openly and why Maxwell was also so arrogant in a "you wouldn't dare to charge me" way. Luckily a judge ruled shr couldn't rely on the agreement in this case: amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/16/ghislaine-maxwell-judge-rejects-bid-to-dismiss-charges

The original agreement is here:
www.documentcloud.org/documents/6184602-Jeffrey-Epstein-non-prosecution-agreement.html

As to why the "sweetheart deal", all his properties were wired for video and audio recording.
Prosecutor: "We're going to charge you with Trafficking Mr. Epstein"
JE: "You sure about that? I have video of Politician X, Celebrity Y, Foreign diplomat Z, Royal X in compromising positions. I think you better call your boss"
