At one of the court sessions in the case of Gislein Maxwell, accused of sexual exploitation of minors, several girls spoke. They told how a woman used them and tried to “prepare” before they were raped by a pedophil Jeffrey Epstein. This reports Reuters.
One of the witnesses, a 44-year-old woman named Kate, said that at the 17th age Maxwell forced her to make Epstein massage, which flowed into sex. After such connections, a friend businessman convinced Kate that she was a “good girl.” In addition, Maxwell “picked up” minors who were already victims of sexual violence or harassment – for example, one can say about another victim by name Caroline. She became a victim of Epstein and his friends at the age of 14. Before that, the woman was subjected to harassment from the native grandfather (then she was 4 years old).
In addition, prosecutors provided the court more than a dozen photographs, which are talking about the nature of the relationship between Maxwell and Epstein. In the 1990s, they were lovers, but later, when their romantic relationships ended, remained friends.
The next court session, which was to pass on December 9, was transferred to an indefinite period due to the poor well-being of one of the lawyers.
Maxwell faces up to 40 years in prison. The prosecutor Lara Pomeranz stated that the accused from the very beginning participated in violence over minors along with Epstein.
American financier is considered guilty of creating a criminal network that allowed him to sexually exploit girls, including 14-year-olds, and mock them. According to some reports, he engaged in human trafficking until 2019. He was detained on July 6, 2019 in New York, and in August of the same year he, presumably, brought abacus with life in a prison cell, without waiting for the trial.
