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.
