Ghislaine Maxwell


Recommended Posts

Ghislaine Maxwell is to emerge from her New York prison cell on Monday after a 15-month wait for the start of a trial for sex trafficking children, perjury and the enticement of minors while she was a close associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The 59-year-old, the youngest child of the British newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, has been held on remand in a Brooklyn detention centre since shortly after her arrest in July 2020.

 

During lengthy jury selection procedures, international interest will focus on two key issues: first, the likelihood that Maxwell and her lawyers will offer up details of prominent names implicated in the case, including Prince Andrew’s, and second, the alleged poor state of the defendant’s health.

 

Maxwell’s elder brother, Ian, a British businessman and thinktank founder, alleges his sister’s incarceration, under 24-hour surveillance in a cell measuring just 9ft by 6ft, amounts to excessive cruelty. She has slept on a concrete bed beside a toilet and has had no access to natural light.

Maxwell also claims her eyesight is failing and her hair falling out, while her guards repeatedly wake her by shining a torch in her face. Prison officials say the scrutiny is designed to prevent Maxwell harming herself in the light of Epstein’s cell suicide two and a half years ago, but her lawyers argue this is merely the cover story for a persecution campaign.

Four applications for bail by Maxwell have been turned down, despite an offer of a $28.5m (£21m) from her lawyers. Judge Alison Nathan, a former associate White House counsel for President Barack Obama, has ruled that the accused woman remains a flight risk and has not been honest about her financial means. Maxwell went to ground after the arrest of Epstein in 2019.

 

The FBI finally tracked her down in a secluded mansion in New Hampshire after using a mobile phone tracking device.

Four accusers are expected to testify at trial, including one unidentified British woman, but others, including the Duke of York’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, may come forward during the trial. The alleged British victim claims that Maxwell recruited her in London in 1994 when she was 17, asking her to massage Epstein.

Maxwell’s defence team is expected to argue that she was also a victim of Epstein’s malevolent and controlling personality.

This weekend, details of former Barclays Bank boss Jes Staley’s regular, friendly email correspondence with Epstein have emerged. Staley, who was Epstein’s private banker at JP Morgan, had stepped down from his role at Barclays last week following an investigation. The Financial Times revealed on Friday that Staley had reportedly exchanged 1,200 emails with Epstein over four years, some of which featured unexplained terms such as “snow white”.

Staley’s lawyer, Kathleen Harris, has stated her client had no involvement in any of the alleged crimes committed by Epstein.

She was held without bail they violated her rights. Dumbass's are cool with that.

Epstein lived an incredible life. Multi-millionaire, mansions everywhere, hung with big names.

He allegedly had sex with numerous young women.

He either killed himself, or got killed in that New York  jail.

Was the life he lived, worth dying for, at his age???????   :dunno:

It's a right. I watched a two hour podcast that went over how they violated her rights. They never gave a valid reason to deny bail. 

8th says excessive bail is against her rights but it has been held up in court to allow defendants to be denied bail based on flight risk.

Cause of death: Covid.  The inconsequential additional damage of course came from Prof. Plum, with a candlestick, in the study.

As much as we laugh about it, there's probably about a 95% chance that's exactly what happens ... she'll die of COVID before any trial.

Is it the 4th Amendment that affirms the right to a speedy trial?  Living like that pretty much guarantees that if the Clintons don’t suicide her, she’ll do it herself.  All of Epstein’s victims need to have her stand trial and sing like a songbird.  That’s why dragging it out is stupid.
