The family of a key survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse is urging President Donald Trump not to consider clemency for the late financier's co-conspirator and confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.

The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a sexual abuse advocate who died by suicide in April, made their plea to Trump in a public statement
Wednesday after he told reporters that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, "stole" Giuffre from his Mar-A-Lago club, where she worked as a locker-room attendant at the age of 16 during the summer of 2000.

Edited to add:

MORE from Virginia Giuffre's family:

"The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency."

“Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the … violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors."

End snip.

The deceased victim's family is against ANY sort of leniency here -- and justifiably so.

“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.' We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this,” the family added.

...

"The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency," the family said.

“Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life for the extraordinary violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors, who may number in the thousands."

Glad to see them reacting like this and doing what they can to make sure yet another of their family member's tormentors doesn't escape the justice they deserve.
