Ghislane Maxwell

I am not even sure what she is accused of unless its facilitating the abuse of minors and the sex trafficking operation. It's bad enough that men do this, but I really can't comprehend a woman being part of it. I mean, I believe she was, but I'll never understand it.

conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.

And yes - amazing what people will do for money and influence. No matter what she says...she is a proven liar already convicted twice for perjury.

of the historical fact that women have been the proprietors of Houses of Prostitution going back thousands of years. Centuries before there was any such thing as age limit laws.

And while its not an excuse, there were fewer choices for women in the past.

Maxwell made a choice for money.

I can't search right now, but maybe someone can bring some links your way. Her role was every bit as involved, ruthless, and included direct acts of sexual assault on minors--as those of Epstein. Further, she knew that at least a few of these young girls had been molested by male relatives--one starting as early as four years old. Yet she did nothing to protect them from Epstein, but rather continued to personally "train" and "schedule" them.

Disgusting, but you need to read in detail. She doesn't look like a monster--frankly, Epstein didn't either. But, they both were/are.

She was not only compelling but clear on the monstrous person that Maxwell actually is. She was (as I say), compelling.

the Netflix documentary about her. She participated in three ways with underage girls herself. She procured (pimped) underage girls as well.. Glad I watched it to remind myself what an awful person she was. A bisexual narcissist with serious daddy issues.

What about all of the victims? Can you imagine having to see Trump's lackeys rushing to speak to this disgusting criminal?

I hope a group of them summon the courage to speak out. The truth will ONLY come from the actual files and/or the victims. This is bullshit.
