Ghislaine Maxwell, No. 15 Civ. 7433 (LAP) Dear Judge Preska: As counsel for Ms. Maxwell we write to request that the Court vindicate its Protective Order and punish its violation. Ms. Maxwell's two deposition transcripts were designated "Confidential" and subject to the protection of the Protective Order. Both transcripts ended up in the hands of the government, which used them to bring an indictment against Ms. Maxwell, charging her with, among other things, perjury in her deposition testimony. This is a serious violation of the Protective Order, and merits the commencement of contempt proceedings. We also write to seek reconsideration of the Court's July 23, 2020 ruling concluding that the transcripts of Ms. Maxwell's April 2016 deposition and Doe 1's deposition should be unsealed in their entirety (with the exception of non-party names). We recognize that a reconsideration motion is an extraordinary request, but we suggest it is appropriate under the circumstances. There are new facts since Ms. Maxwell lodged her objections to the unsealing of the transcript of her deposition, and there is a need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice relating to the unsealing of the transcript. We respectfully request that the Court keep sealed Ms. Maxwell's and Doe l's deposition transcripts and any sealed or redacted order or paper that quotes from or discloses information from the transcripts ("deposition material"). We do not seek unnecessary delay; however, if the Court denies our request for reconsideration, we do wish to seek relief from the Second Circuit. Accordingly, in the event the Court denies this reconsideration request, we ask that the Court stay any unsealing of the deposition material for at least two business days to give us time to apply to the Second Circuit for a stay of the unsealing order pending appeal. As the EFTA00075055 Caest:2942,40741334AfenDtkalnifiatI0282CHNOCPACIfgattgf210209f 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 2 courts have recognized, temporary stays of unseal orders are appropriate so that "[t]he genie is [not] out of the bottle," Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 144 (2d Cir. 2004), before the interested parties have an opportunity to seek review of the orders. See, e.g., United Staten. Martoma, No. Si 12 CR 973 PGG, 2014 WL 164181, at •8 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 9, 2014) ("The Court stays immediate disclosure of these materials to permit Defendant to make application to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for a more extended stay."); Brown v. Maxwell, 929 F.3d 41, 54 (2d. Cir. 2019) (recognizing likelihood of future appeals in this matter). 1. There are new, intervening and significant facts since briefing closed on the first round of review of sealed materials. After many months of relentless negative media coverage of Mr. Epstein and allegations that Ms. Maxwell was involved in his criminal activities, the government secured an indictment against her. On July 2, one day after Ms. Maxwell filed her reply in support of her objection to unsealing documents containing references to Does 1 and 2, the government staged a dramatic, forced entry at dawn into her home and arrested her. EXHIBIT A, at 3. Immediately after Ms. Maxwell's arrest, Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss held a press conference and made numerous comments attacking Ms. Maxwell's credibility and expressing her opinion of Ms. Maxwell's guilt, e.g., that she was guilty of "l[ying]" in her deposition "because the truth, as alleged, was almost unspeakable." M Plaintiff's counsel piled on, offering their own opinions about Ms. Maxwell's guilt. For example, Mr. Edwards opined that Ms. Maxwell was "a main facilitator" of Mr. Epstein's crimes who "started the whole thing." M Ms. McCawley praised the prosecutors: "[They] have done an incredible job and they're being very meticulous, they want to make sure that the Indictments stick. ... They took a lot of time to be very careful and thoughtful and that gives me a lot of hope that [Ms. Maxwell] will remain in prison for the remainder of her life. ... [Ms. Maxwell] was really the central figure ...." Id. at 6. Ms. Maxwell's motion for an order barring such extrajudicial comments led Judge Nathan to admonish "counsel for all involved parties [to] exercise great care to ensure compliance with this Court's local rules, including Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and the rules of professional responsibility." ExHIBIT B. She further "warn[ed] counsel and agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses that going forward it will not hesitate to take appropriate action in the face of violations of any relevant rules." Id. judge Nathan said she would ensure "strict compliance" with the rules and "ensure that the Defendant's right to a fair trial will be safeguarded." Id. On July 8 the government filed a superseding indictment alleging that Ms. Maxwell "assisted, facilitated, and contributed" to Mr. Epstein's abuse of minors. The indictment quickly turned to this civil action, alleging that in 2016 Ms. Maxwell made "efforts to conceal her conduct" EFTA00075056 Caes:f9-0,40741133cia4CnDtidtkat3102821:Fi Rial3615,233/ aft g Fratge 23a9f 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 3 by "repeatedly provid[ing] false and perjurious statements" in deposition testimony. EXHIBIT Cl 8. Quoting verbatim from Ms. Maxwell's April 2016 deposition transcript, the indictment alleges Ms. Maxwell gave false testimony (a) when she testified "I don't know what you're talking about" in response to a question whether Mr. Epstein "ha[d] a scheme to recruit underage girls for sexual massages ... [i]f you know"; and (b) when she testified, "I'm not aware of anybody that I interacted with [other than plaintiff] who was 17 at this point." Id. 1 21. None of these questions and answers was used in the summary judgment papers or released by the Second Circuit. The transcript containing this testimony is sealed. 2. The Court should commence proceedings to vindicate the government and plaintiff's violation of the Protective Order. Only two parties—plaintiff and Ms. Maxwell—and their counsel had proper access to the transcripts of Ms. Maxwell's deposition. The transcripts, which were designated "Confidential," were the subject of the Protective Order strictly limiting the persons to whom the parties may disclose "Confidential"-designated documents. For example, the parties could only disclose such documents to "attorneys actively working on this case" and "persons regularly employed or associated with the attorneys who are working on this case." Doc.62, quoted in Doc.1071 at 3. This language was negotiated by the parties to specifically exclude an exception for investigations by law enforcement. On February 26, 2016, counsel for plaintiff proposed protective order language that would have allowed for a "law enforcement" exception: Paragraph I(a)4 of plaintiff's draft proposed that: "CONFIDENTIAL information shall not be disclosed or used for any purpose except the preparation and trial of this case and any related matter, including but not limited to, investigations by law enforcement." See Exhibit D at 3. This language was rejected by Ms. Maxwell because of her concerns that plaintiff and her lawyers were acting as either express or de facto agents of the Government. The language agreed upon, and made an Order of this Court specifically excluded an exception for law enforcement. Had the language not been made an order of the Court, Ms. Maxwell would have proceeded in a different fashion. She relied on this language and the protection afforded to her by this Court under established Second Circuit law. In its Order dated July 1, 2020, the Court said it was "troubled" to learn that plaintiff's successor counsel, Cooper & Kirk, had received from plaintiff's former counsel, Boies Schiller Fierier, various discovery materials that were subject to the Protective Order. Doc.1071 at 4. The Court rejected Cooper & Kirk's suggestion that it properly was a recipient of the material: [W]hatever Cooper & Kirk's intentions in requesting and obtaining the Maxwell materials from Boies Schiller, the Maxwell Protective Order explicitly provides that (1) discovery materials designated CONFIDENTIAL cannot be EFTA00075057 Caest 131-63.403481XliAfFenDbet.4nORM282(Fili16198/Seiginigktge 209f 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 4 disclosed or used outside of the Maxwell action and (2) that properly designated discovery materials may only be disclosed to speafic groups of individuals, including attorneys "actively working on" the Maxwell litigation. Doc.1071 at 4-5 (emphasis supplied) Five things are plain. One, as the indictment and superseding indictment establish, the government has a copy of the transcripts from Ms. Maxwell's April and July 2016 depositions, both of which were designated "Confidential." Two, the government had no ability legally to obtain the deposition transcripts. In Martindell v. International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., 594 F.2d 291, 293 (2d Cir. 1979), cited with approval in In re Teligent, Inc., 640 F.3d 53, 58 (2d Cir. 2011), the government moved in a civil action to which it was not a party for access to transcripts of depositions twelve witnesses, including some of the civil defendants. The government said it was investigating possible violations of federal criminal laws, including perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. The government: speculated that the pretrial deposition testimony might be relevant to its investigation into matters similar to those that had been the subject of the Martindell action and might be useful in appraising the credibility, accuracy and completeness of testimony given by witnesses in the Government's investigation or might provide additional information of use to the Government. The Government, moreover, feared that unless it could obtain the deposition transcripts, it would be unable to secure statements from the witnesses because they would claim their Fifth Amendment rights in any investigative interviews by the Government. 594 F.2d at 293. The district court denied the government's request, holding that "the deposition testimony had been given in reliance upon the protective order, thus rendering unnecessary invocation by the witnesses of their Fifth Amendment rights, that the requested turnover would raise constitutional issues, and that principles of fairness mandated enforcement of the protective order." Id The Second Circuit affirmed: In the present case the deponents testified in reliance upon the Rule 26(c) protective order, absent which they may have refused to testify.... [T]he witnesses were entitled to rely upon the terms of a concededly valid protective order and Judge Conner did not abuse his discretion in refusing to vacate or modify that order. Id at 296-97. Three, the government did not obtain a copy of the deposition transcripts from Ms. Maxwell or her counsel. Four, following plaintiff's counsel's admitted violation of the Protective Order EFTA00075058 Caest 29-6.4034B94MenDbOutneRfill1282CHN0005,83301eglageZ09f 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 5 earlier this month, it is clear now that there has been a second violation of the Protective Order in a manner consistent with the plaintiff's intent and goals—namely, the prosecution of Ms. Maxwell and the pursuit of a sentence that would imprison her "for the remainder of her life," EXHIBIT A, at 3. Five, no one should be permitted to violate this Court's Protective Order with impunity. As it did in connection with plaintiff's violation of the Protective Order via her attorneys, the Court should enter orders to determine the nature and extent of the violation of the Order, identify those persons who violated the Order, and impose appropriate sanctions. Until this process is completed, the Court should stay any disclosure of the transcripts of Ms. Maxwell's deposition and deposition material. We respectfully submit that in the event the Court finds a violation of the Protective Order, this Court should direct the government to return to the Court any copies of the deposition transcripts and enter an order to show cause why the person(s) who violated the Order should not be held in contempt. See, e.g., Blum v. Schlegel, 108 F.3d 1369 (2d Cir. 1997); Hunt v. Enzo Biochem, Inc., 904 F. Supp. 2d 337, 340 (S.D.N.Y. 2012). 3. The indictment provides a compelling reason not to unseal the transcript of Ms. Maxwell's deposition. That Ms. Maxwell was under criminal investigation, the Court ruled, "is not entitled to much weight here." Tr. of July 23 Hearing, at 5. The Court said Ms. Maxwell had not explained how the sealed material could inappropriately influence potential witnesses or victims. Id The effect of Ms. Maxwell's indictment, arrest, upcoming trial and of Judge Nathan's efforts to ensure a fair trial was not discussed in our objections since none of these things had happened before briefing was closed. Two cases are instructive. In each the courts indicated that in deciding whether to unseal materials it was important to give weight to the impact on a criminal defendant's right to a fair trial. In Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589 (1978), a number of media moved the district court to release audio tapes admitted into evidence in the trial of four of President Nixon's former advisors. The media intended to copy the tapes for broadcasting and sale to the public. District Judge Sirica denied the motion, principally on the ground that the rights of the four defendants, who had been convicted and had filed notices of appeal, would be prejudiced if they prevailed in their appeals. 435 U.S. at 595, 602 n.14. Judge Sirica noted that the transcripts of the audio tapes had been released to the public. Id at 595. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held Judge Sirica abused his discretion. The Supreme Court reversed the court of appeals and rejected the media's arguments that release of the tapes was required under the common law right of access and the First Amendment. The Court noted apparently with approval that (a) "Judge Sirica 's view" that "the public's `right to know' did not ... overcome the need to safeguard the defendants' rights on appeal," and (b) "Judge Sirica's principal reason for refusing to release the tapes EFTA00075059 Caest 15-63.4034BectiAgenDtet4nORM282(Fili161f36MWECaglageZOM 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 6 [was] fairness to the defendants, who were appealing their convictions." Id at 595, 602 n.14. The Court indicated that the public interest in access to the tapes properly was balanced against "the duty of the courts," id. at 602, including the duty to ensure fairness to the defendants, see id. at 602 n.14. In In re New York Times Co., 828 F.2d 110 (2d Cir. 1987), cited with approval in United States v. Longueuil, 567 Fed. App'x 13, 16 (2d Cir. 2014), Judge Weinstein denied the media's motion to unseal papers filed in connection with an unsuccessful defense motion to suppress evidence obtained by electronic surveillance. He found that "defendants' interest in a fair trial and the interests of third parties [referenced in] the motion papers justified continued sealing of the papers." 828 F.2d at 112; see id. at 112 (defendants opposed unsealing on the grounds it would prejudice their Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial, their privacy rights, and third parties' privacy rights). The Second Circuit vacated the order in part because "the wholesale sealing" of the motion papers was "more extensive than necessary to protect defendants' fair trial rights, their privacy rights, and the third persons' privacy interests. Id at 116. The court noted, "now that the jury has been impaneled, defendants' fair trial rights can certainly be adequately protected by sequestration." let In Nixon and New York Times, the courts properly were concerned about the effect of unsealing materials notwithstanding that they were core judicial documents—audio tapes admitted into evidence at the merits trial and motion papers seeking suppression of evidence which the judge denied. And the courts continued to hold these concerns even after the defendants had been convicted and had launched appeals (Nixon) and after the petit jury had been empaneled (New York Times). The courts have recognized that the right to a fair criminal trial is a compelling interest in "weighing the interests advanced by the parties in light of the public interests and the duty of the courts," Nixon, 435 U.S. at 602. See United States v. Cicale, No. 05-CR-60-2 (NGG), 2018 WL 388941, at *3 (E.D.N.Y. Jan. 11, 2018) ("Compelling interests warranting closure of a courtroom—and, by extension, sealing of court documents— `may include the defendant's right to a fair trial ....' ") (quoting with alterations United States v. Doe, 63 F.3d 121, 128 (2d Cir. 1995)); United States v. Martoma, No. Si 12 CR 973 PGG, 2014 WL 164181, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 9, 2014) ("A court's conclusion that a qualified First Amendment right of access to certain judicial documents exists does not end the inquiry, however. `Courts must balance the right [of access] against other important values, like the Sixth Amendment right of the accused to a fair trial... and the defendant's ... privacy interests.") (internal quotations omitted; quoting United States v. Rajaratnam, 708 F. Supp. 2d 371, 374-75 (S.D.N.Y. 2010)); Travelers Indem. Co. v. Excalibur Reins.

Aug. 5, 2013) ("The public's right to access court documents is not, however, absolute in that it may be surmounted by a party's showing that sealing will further other substantial interests, for example, a criminal defendant's right to a fair trial or a third party's privacy EFTA00075060 CaesR1294.403499(hAfFenDbfitheRt331282(Fia119015Bf9allegfPage20a 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 7 interests."); United States a McVeigh,119 F.3d 806, 813 (10th Cir. 1997) (upholding district court's sealing of discovery materials deemed inadmissible at trial, holding that "disclosure of such [materials] would play a negative role in the functioning of the criminal process, by exposing the public generally, as well as potential jurors, to incriminating evidence that the law has determined may not be used to support a conviction"), cited with approval in United States v. Avenatti, (S1) 19 CR 373 PGG, 2020 WL 70952, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 6, 2020). Based on these cases, the Court may make specific findings supporting the sealing of Ms. Maxwell's deposition transcript: The Court may take judicial notice, as Judge Nathan herself may have, of the widespread negative media publicity and speculation directed at Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell. See Condit v. Dunne, 317 F. Supp. 2d 344, 358 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). We attach a compilation of such articles in EXHIBIT E. The Court also may take judicial notice of Ms. Maxwell's arrest and indictment, and the government's charge against her based on her answers in a deposition transcript that was subject to this Court's Protective Order. The unsealing of Ms. Maxwell's deposition transcript would result in substantial negative media publicity and speculation in an internet world in the same way that Judge Sirica found release of the audio tapes in Nixon would generate publicity and affect those defendants' right to a fair trial. And the Court may take judicial notice of Judge Nathan's own concerns about the need for counsel for the parties and witnesses in the criminal case to comply with Local Criminal Rule 23.1 to "safeguard" and "protect [Ms. Maxwell's] right to a fair trial by an impartial jury," EXHIBIT C. The public's right of access to Ms. Maxwell's deposition transcript is substantially outweighed by the compelling interest in ensuring her right to a fair trial. Particularly is this true in light of the other countervailing interests discussed in our objection papers and below. 4. The deposition transcripts obtained by the government and the indictment's perjury counts place in a new light plaintiff's earlier litigation conduct—suggesting the planned use of Ms. Maxwell's deposition as a perjury trap. Throughout much of the first year of this litigation plaintiff through her counsel had represented to the Court and defense counsel that plaintiff was privy to and participating in an ongoing criminal investigation in which Ms. Maxwell was a "person of interest." Doc.101 at 2. Toward that end plaintiff withheld documents responsive to defense discovery requests for any documents relating to such a criminal investigation; plaintiff asserted such documents were subject to a law enforcement, "investigative" or public interest "privilege." Id at 2-3. In response to Ms. Maxwell's motion to compel the production of documents, plaintiff submitted the "law enforcement materials" ex pane and in camera to the Court. Doc.128. Ms. Maxwell objected to the submission of the materials ex parte and in camera. Doc.130. The Court denied the motion to compel. Doc. 264-1. The materials never have been produced to the defense. Based on plaintiff's claim of an ongoing investigation, Ms. Maxwell requested, prior to her deposition, that plaintiff disclose any alleged "on-going criminal investigation by law EFTA00075061 CaesR2942.403499dAfenDbOthnORM282(FiN96151M9/Thigfetge21061 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 8 enforcement" or alternatively to stay this action pending completion of any such investigation. Doc.101. In part, Ms. Maxwell needed information concerning any such investigation to assess "the impact on any 5th Amendment privilege." Id. at 2, 4-5. Judge Sweet denied that motion. The day before Ms. Maxwell's deposition, the Court ordered that "[a]ny materials that the plaintiff has with respect to any criminal investigations will be turned over [by plaintiff] except for any statements made by plaintiff to law enforcement authority." Tr. of Apr. 21, 2016 at 21. Plaintiff produced no such materials and Ms. Maxwell was deposed the next day. In reliance on the protective order which included no exception for any law enforcement need or subpoena and based on plaintiff's failure to disclose any "on-going criminal investigation," she did not assert the 5th Amendment during that deposition. This background is given a new context in light of (a) the provision of the sealed transcripts to the government without court authorization and (b) the indictment and perjury charges lodged against Ms. Maxwell based upon the transcripts. Under Martindell, decided forty years ago and still binding precedent in this district, it is settled law that the government may not breach a protective order to gain access to deposition transcripts in a civil lawsuit. As the Second Circuit held in that case, the government "may not ... simply by picking up the telephone or writing a letter to the court ... insinuate itself into a private civil lawsuit between others." 594 F.2d at 294. The court rejected the government's argument that the district court's "solicitude for the witnesses' Fifth Amendment" over the government's desire for the deposition transcripts was an abuse of discretion. It held that "a more significant counterbalancing factor" is the civil rules' goal of encouraging witnesses to participate in civil litigation: Unless a valid Rule 26(c) protective order is to be fully and fairly enforceable, witnesses relying upon such orders will be inhibited from giving essential testimony in civil litigation, thus undermining a procedural system that has been successfully developed over the years for disposition of civil differences. In short, witnesses might be expected frequently to refuse to testify pursuant to protective orders if their testimony were to be made available to the Government for criminal investigatory purposes in disregard of those orders. 594 F.2d at 296. After balancing the interests at stake, the court held that absent improvidence in issuing the protective order or some extraordinary circumstance or compelling need, witnesses must be permitted to rely on the protective order's enforceability. Id. The protective order should not be vacated or modified "to accommodate the Government's desire to inspect protected testimony for possible use in a criminal investigation, either as evidence or as the subject of a possible perjury charge." Id. (emphasis supplied). The procedural history of this litigation culminating in plaintiff's gratuitously attaching the entire transcripts of both Ms. Maxwell's depositions to court submissions, and leaking or EFTA00075062 Caest:29-0,40745341/kfenDtkulmEIVtalne2CFifitif9615,233/211g ecige Wet 9 Honorable Loretta A. Preska July 29, 2020 Page 9 causing someone to leak the transcripts to the government, which then charged Ms. Maxwell with perjury counts, suggest plaintiff in conjunction with the government sought to circumvent Martindell: they set a perjury trap for Ms. Maxwell when plaintiff took her deposition. Ms. Maxwell requests that this Court examine the law enforcement materials submitted ex parte and in camera in connection with its vindication of the Protective Order. In the meantime we respectfully submit it is appropriate to maintain the seal over the depositions. 5. Ms. Maxwell's reliance on the Protective Order is entitled to substantial weight. In its July 23 ruling the Court did not address a substantial ground Ms. Maxwell asserted in support of her objection to unsealing her deposition transcript. The first countervailing interest Ms. Maxwell presented was that she reasonably relied on the Protective Order in disclosing intimate information about her personal life. Doc.1057 at 4-5. As we pointed out, id. at 5, even without any evidentiary or other showing from an interested party, the Second Circuit in Brown v. Maxwell protected from disclosure "deposition responses concerning intimate matters where the questions were likely only permitted—and the responses only compelled— because of a strong expectation of continued confidentiality."929 F.3d 41, 48 n.22 (2d Cir 2019). The Protective Order was entered before Ms. Maxwell's deposition was taken; in fact plaintiff's counsel explicitly consented to the Order because "'I just want [Ms. Maxwell's] deposition .... It is that important to me." Doc.1073 at 8 (quoting Doc.66 at 9). The Court may make specific findings supporting the sealing of the transcript based on the information Ms. Maxwell supplied from the court submissions. See id We incorporate by reference here the facts asserted and arguments made in the objection and reply in support of this countervailing interest. For the foregoing reasons we respectfully request that the Court reconsider its decision to unseal (1) the transcripts of Ms. Maxwell's and Doe l's depositions, and (2) court submissions excerpting from, quoting from or summarizing the contents of the transcripts.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Case No. 20 Cr. 330 (MN), Local Criminal Rule 23.1 Dear Judge Nathan, On behalf of our client, Ghislaine Maxwell, we write to request that the Court enter an order prohibiting the Government, its agents and counsel for witnesses from making extrajudicial statements concerning this case. Although Ms. Maxwell is presumed innocent, the Government, its agents, witnesses and their lawyers have made, and continue to make, statements prejudicial to a fair trial. The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees an accused the right to an impartial jury. This fundamental guarantee is part of a criminal defendant's basic right to a fair trial, which requires that a defendant must be judged by a jury of her peers based on evidence presented at trial, not in the media. The Court, to safeguard the due process rights of the accused, has "an affirmative constitutional duty to minimize the effects of prejudicial pretrial publicity." Gannett Co. v. DePasquale, 443 U.S. 368, 378 (1979). This District has given effect to this Sixth Amendment right through Local Criminal Rule 23.1. Accordingly, Ms. Maxwell requests that the Court exercise its express power under Local Criminal Rule 23.1(h) and enter an Order requiring compliance with that rule to prevent further unwarranted and prejudicial pretrial publicity by the Government, its agents, and lawyers for alleged witnesses. Legal Standard More than fifty years ago, warning of the danger of pretrial publicity to fair trials, the Supreme Court directed trial judges to take "such steps by rule and regulation that will protect their processes from prejudicial outside interferences. Neither prosecutors, counsel for defense, the accused, witnesses, court staff nor enforcement officers coming under the jurisdiction of the court should be permitted to frustrate its function." Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333, 363 (1966) (emphasis added). EFTA00075065 CdgeS02124CialiatIOARttailltdolitial2M033t1 .:$ 2R411:0208f 8 The Honorable Alison J. Nathan July 21, 2020 Page 2 In an effort to protect the trial process from "prejudicial outside interferences," this Court promulgated Local Criminal Rule 23.1(a) which provides, in relevant part, that: It is the duty of the lawyer or law firm, ... and government agents and police officers, not to release or authorize the release of non￾public information or opinion which a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication, in connection with pending or imminent criminal litigation with which they are associated, if there is a substantial likelihood that such dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice. To avoid any confusion this Court identified seven "subject matters" that "presumptively involve a substantial likelihood that their public dissemination will interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice." Id. at (d).

Nathan July 21, 2020 Page 3 Recent Prejudicial Public Statements by the Government, its Azents and Counsel to Prospective Witnesses Recent public statements by the Government, its agents and counsel for prospective witnesses have included presumptively prejudicial information. On July 2, 2020 Ms. Maxwell was arrested without notice to her lawyers who had been in active communication with the Government for one year. Because plain vanilla surrenders lack the fanfare and attendant media coverage afforded to secret, armed, raids at dawn, the Government chose to invade Ms. Maxwell's New Hampshire residence, arrest her, and stage a media presentation that included numerous statements that prejudice Ms. Maxwell's right to a fair trial. Immediately following Ms. Maxwell's arrest, Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss held a press conference in which she commented on Ms. Maxwell's credibility and her incorrect opinions concerning "guilt or innocence or as to the merits of the case or the evidence in the case" in violation of Local Rule 23.1(d)(1), (4) and (7): Per the New York Law Journal: 'Maxwell lied because the truth, as alleged, was almost unspeakable,' Strauss said at a press conference announcing the charges. `Maxwell enticed minor girls, got them to trust her and then delivered them into the trap that that she and Epstein had set for them. She pretended to be a woman they could trust, all the while she was setting them up to be sexually abused by Epstein and, in some cases, by Maxwell herself." As reported in the Washington Post, Strauss, the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said the socialite told that lie and others in deposition because the truth 'was almost unspeakable.' Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss called the sex abuse described in the Maxwell case 'the prequel' to the charges they lodged against Epstein.... Maxwell played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify, befriend, and groom minor victims for abuse' ... 'In some cases Maxwell participated in the abuse itself.'2 https://www.law.corninewyorklawjournal/2020/07/02/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested-in￾connection-with-jeffrey-epstein-sex-trafficking-ringfislreturn=202006 14124921 2 hups://www.washingtonpost.comMational-security/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested-jeffrey￾epstein/2020/07/02/20c74502-bc69-11ea-8cf5-9c1b8d7f84c6 story.html EFTA00075067 CeaageSIMIGOAMONEDThitbehill0/EgallaMSOMES2C)~2ift 8 The Honorable Alison J. Nathan July 21, 2020 Page 4 Although Ms. Strauss sprinkled her comments with the phrase "as alleged," she presented certain of her statements as fact? Regardless, after Ms. Strauss's remarks, FBI Special Agent William Sweeney went even further, calling Ms. Maxwell "one of the villains in this investigation" and compared her to a snake that "slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire." Thus, Mr. Sweeney offers the Government's, again flatly wrong, opinions about character and guilt while, at the same time, invoking a semi-biblical reference involving a snake slithering away to a garden in New Hampshire. These types of comments, which serve no compelling law enforcement or investigatory purpose, are prohibited by the local rules of this District. New York attorney David Boies and his partner Sigrid McCawley, who represent several witnesses in this matter, have also made public and presumptively prejudicial statements in recent days, notwithstanding the fact that such conduct is prohibited by Local Rule 23.1, which applies to lawyers practicing in this District, generally, and lawyers for witnesses, specifically. See Rule 23.1(a) and (b). As reported by the Washington Post, Mr. Boies expressed his views on the prohibited subject of "the possibility of a plea of guilty to the offense charged or a lesser offense" in violation of sections (d)(5) and (7) of the Rule: Boies said he thinks Maxwell will be `under tremendous pressure to cooperate' as she looks for ways to shave time off what may be a significant prison sentence. Maxwell could potentially help prosecutors shed light on Epstein's dealings with other wealthy and influential people who may have had encounters with underaged victims, he said, adding `There were a lot of people with a lot of public stature who were involved with Epstein!' Ms. McCawley echoed Mr. Boies, saying that, "The pain [Maxwell] has caused will never go away but today is a step toward healing." Id. Bradley Edwards, another attorney representing witnesses in this matter made similar presumptively prejudicial statements following Ms. Maxwell's arrest:5 `The reality of how this organization worked was that 99.9% of it was orchestrated for Jeffrey Epstein's personal sexual satisfaction. So to the degree that um there was a main facilitator that started the whole thing, it was Ghislaine. 3 A purported transcript of the press conference is contained on the intemet at https://www.rev.comiblog,/transcripts/announcement-transcript-of-charges-against-ghislaine￾maxwell-in-new-york-jeffrey-epstein-associate-arrested. https://www.washingtonpost.cominational-security/ghislaine-maxwell-arrested-jeffrey￾epstein/2020/07/02/20c74502-bc69-11ea-8cf5-9c1b8d7f84c6 story.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDKHdzix2kO EFTA00075068 CeaS312D04113212130AIRINDdikidatiladingaltnigg92(Pagbailf 8 The Honorable Alison J. Nathan July 21, 2020 Page 5 So to cooperate in the way that that kind of rumors out there would mean that she's cooperating downwards. She'd be cooperating with people who are much less culpable than her. Will she name names to try to shave years off of what would be a lengthy prison sentence maybe, I think you should probably expect that if she's going to share information that's going to actually help her, it's probably gonna be about unrelated crimes that she may be aware about because with respect to this particular operation, in terms of living people, she's as high as it gets. ... I think like most of my clients would really hope that she does cooperate, at least shares the information that she has. I mean I know that it would only be to help herself but the public deserves to know who was involved besides her and Jeffrey Epstein, and only she knows that. The violations of Rule 23.1 did not stop after Ms. Maxwell's arrest and detention. Following the detention hearing on July 14, 2020, Mr. Boies, counsel for one of the accusers who spoke at the hearing, commented on the content of the hearing. As reported by Bloomberg, Mr. Boies offered his gratuitous critique of defense counsel, commented on the credibility of Ms. Maxwell and his client, and commented on what Mr. Boies considers "evidence" in this case, all in violation of subsections (1), (4), (6), and (7) of the Rule: That's a dan erous tactic that might backfire at trial, said David Boies, who represents and several other women who say they were sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell. ... It's "a tone-deaf argument" that cost Maxwell her credibility, said Boies, who listened to the hearing remotely. `To mount a `blame the victim' defense, particularly in today's world and trying to blame these girls for what happened is so contrary to the evidence, is so contrary to people's normal sense of morality,' Boies said. `I think that's just going to enrage a jury if she goes to trial -- which I would not do if I were representing her.' Boies said he was confident would stand up to cross-examination if there's a trial. , who addressed the court by telephone, urged the judge not to grant Maxwell bail, calling her a `sexual predator who groomed and abused me.' Maxwell `lied under oath and tormented her survivors,' said. Boies said that was a 16-year-old who 'wanted to go to college' when she met Maxwell. `Maxwell and Epstein tell and her mother `we're having a group of high school students to this ranch to help them get into college,' Boies said. 'But when gets there, there are no high school students, all these claims are fraudulent and she's in this isolated place in New Mexico.'6 6 https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/ghislaine-maxwell-may-play-the-victim-card-in-trial￾defense-1.1465631 EFTA00075069 Cea110812111004032112160AVINDISitioititrSINWIME28207Agacanif 8 The Honorable Alison J. Nathan July 21, 2020 Page 6 Mr. Boles and Ms. McCawley gave on-air interviews with ABC News following Ms. Maxwell's detention that contained repeated, presumptively prejudicial quotes, including: 7 Boles: Remember these girls were abused twice, once sexually years ago and then a second time when Epstein and Maxwell and all their enablers began these vicious attacks on their credibility. ... No question about it. Maxwell knows where a lot of the bodies are buried. If I was somebody who had participated in their sex trafficking, um, I would not be sleeping easily tonight. Boles: I think that [the accusers] want to see her go to trial. On the other hand, the arrest and conviction that would come from a plea deal is an enormous step and I think they also recognize that Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell did not act alone. There are lots of other people that need to be brought to justice. McCawley: I think that the prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have done an incredible job and they're being very meticulous, they want to make sure that the Indictments stick. ...They took a lot of time to be very careful and thoughtful and that gives me a lot of hope that she will remain in prison for the remainder of her life. ... This morning was a very joyful and tearful filled morning, it was a wonderful moment in my journey with these survivors, to be able to call them and tell them that the one person's who's been out in the public without being held accountable was finally in prison....She was really, Ghislaine was really the central figure, so she worked hand-in-hand with Jeffrey Epstein to be able to facilitate these crimes over the course of more than two decades; and she was the main person who assisted him and allowed him to be able to perpetrate so many crimes against young females. These comments violate subsections (6) and (7) of the Rule. It appears that given any opportunity lawyers associated with the prosecution of this case will offer any opinion that damages Ms. Maxwell's opportunity for a fair trial. Entry of an order prohibiting extrajudicial statements, therefore, is a necessary remedy to avoid further dissemination of prejudicial information. The Court, under Local Criminal Rule 23.1(h) should enter an Order, punishable by contempt, that all lawyers associated with this case, and their agents, comply with the Rule and refrain from publicly commenting on the seven prohibited topics identified in subsection (d). 7 https://abcnews.go.corn/US/ghislaine-maxwell-epsteins-alleged-recruiter-private-battle￾public/story?id=7 1705375 EFTA00075070 cepasinEaft,40=230,4ffientDdlignitiaffiatalelitheffffefilagtegtataf 8 The Honorable Alison J.

The Court firmly expects that counsel for all involved parties will exercise great care to ensure compliance with this Court's local rules, including Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and the rules of professional responsibility.

Accordingly, it denies the Defendant's motion without prejudice. But the Court warns counsel and agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses that going forward it will not hesitate to take appropriate action in the face of violations of any relevant rules. The Court will ensure strict compliance with those rules and will ensure that the Defendant's right to a fair trial will be safeguarded. SO ORDERED.

The charges set forth herein stem from the role of GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls by Jeffrey Epstein. In particular, from at least in or about 1994, up to and including at least in or about 1997, MAXWELL assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to MAXWELL and Epstein to be under the age of 18. The victims were as young groomed and abused by MAXWELL and that certain victims were in fact as 14 years old when they were Epstein, both of whom knew under the age of 18. 2. As a part and in furtherance of their scheme to abuse minor victims, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, and Jeffrey Epstein enticed and caused minor victims to travel to EFTA00075075 CadiataKibt141 r: t 3 Al b moIMOSIVAPPAQP44140ANIMPOlacW41319 Epstein's residences in different states, which MAXWELL knew and intended would result in their grooming for and subjection to sexual abuse. Moreover, in an effort to conceal her crimes, MAXWELL repeatedly lied when questioned about her conduct, including in relation to some of the minor victims described herein, when providing testimony under oath in 2016. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 3. During the time periods charged in this Indictment, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, had a personal and professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and was among his closest associates. In particular, between in or about 1994 and in or about 1997, MAXWELL was in an intimate relationship with Epstein and also was paid by Epstein to manage his various properties. Over the course of their relationship, MAXWELL and Epstein were photographed together on multiple occasions, including in the below image: EFTA00075076 caglataaftienWrifif igtae t P.• 4. Beginning in at least 1994, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, enticed and groomed multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with Jeffrey Epstein, through a variety of means and methods, including but not limited to the following: a. MAXWELL first attempted to befriend some of Epstein's minor victims prior to their abuse, including by asking the victims about their lives, their schools, and their families. MAXWELL and Epstein would spend time building friendships with minor victims by, for example, taking minor victims to the movies or shopping. Some of these outings would involve MAXWELL and Epstein spending time together with a minor victim, while some would involve MAXWELL or Epstein spending time alone with a minor victim. b. Having developed a rapport with a victim, MAXWELL would try to normalize sexual abuse for a minor victim by, among other things, discussing sexual topics, undressing in front of the victim, being present when a minor victim was undressed, and/or being present for sex acts involving the minor victim and Epstein. c. MAXWELL'S presence during minor victims' interactions with Epstein, including interactions where the minor victim was undressed or that involved sex acts with Epstein, helped put the victims at ease because an adult woman was present. For example, in some instances, MAXWELL would 3 EFTA00075077 caglatiVALWAMAZNEWstiteirigilgAILANSOMPIMiatO 19 massage Epstein in front of a minor victim. In other instances, MAXWELL encouraged minor victims to provide massages to Epstein, including sexualized massages during which a minor victim would be fully or partially nude. Many of those massages resulted in Epstein sexually abusing the minor victims. d. In addition, Epstein offered to help some minor victims by paying for travel and/or educational opportunities, and MAXWELL encouraged certain victims to accept Epstein's assistance. As a result, victims were made to feel indebted and believed that MAXWELL and Epstein were trying to help them. e. Through this process, MAXWELL and Epstein enticed victims to engage in sexual activity with Epstein. In some instances, MAXWELL was present for and participated in the sexual abuse of minor victims. Some such incidents occurred in the context of massages, which developed into sexual encounters. 5. GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's access to minor victims knowing that he had a sexual preference for underage girls and that he intended to engage in sexual activity with those victims. Epstein's resulting abuse of minor victims included, among other things, touching a victim's breast, touching a victim's genitals, placing a sex toy such as a vibrator on a victim's genitals, 4 EFTA00075078 catakibkli NattoktftigailMAIEWNISMASO 19 directing a victim to touch Epstein while he masturbated, and directing a victim to touch Epstein's genitals. MAXWELL AND EPSTEIN'S VICTIMS 6. Between approximately in or about 1994 and in or about 1997, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, facilitated Jeffrey Epstein's access to minor victims by, among other things, inducing and enticing, and aiding and abetting the inducement and enticement of, multiple minor victims. Victims were groomed and/or abused at multiple locations, including the following: a. A a multi-story private residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York owned by Epstein (the "New York Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: EFTA00075079 c4aatagwdoroAwiematoktfiwrmsq4a4w0A1tQA9woaoitis b. An estate in Palm Beach, Florida owned by Epstein (the "Palm Beach Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: c. A ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico owned by Epstein (the "New Mexico Residence"), which is depicted in the following photograph: 6 EFTA00075080 cadiattelaW414§§1WeriamokftitaliWila01§§72132Varaige 19 England. d. MAXWELL's personal residence in London, 7. Among the victims induced or enticed by GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, were minor victims identified herein as Minor Victim-1, Minor Victim-2, and Minor Victim-3. In particular, and during time periods relevant to this Indictment, MAXWELL engaged in the following acts, among others, with respect to minor victims: a. MAXWELL met Minor Victim-1 when Minor Victim-1 was approximately 14 years old. MAXWELL subsequently interacted with Minor Victim-1 on multiple occasions at Epstein's residences, knowing that Minor Victim-1 was under the age of 18 at the time. During these interactions, which took place between approximately 1994 and 1997, MAXWELL groomed Minor Victim-1 to engage in sexual acts with Epstein through multiple means. First, MAXWELL and Epstein attempted to befriend Minor Victim-1, taking her to the movies and on shopping trips. MAXWELL also asked Minor Victim-1 about school, her classes, her family, and other aspects of her life. MAXWELL then sought to normalize inappropriate and abusive conduct by, among other things, undressing in front of Minor Victim-1 and being present when Minor Victim-1 undressed in front of Epstein. Within the first year after MAXWELL and Epstein met Minor Victim-1, Epstein began sexually abusing Minor Victim-1. MAXWELL was present for 7 EFTA00075081 cw t 0 19 and involved in some of this abuse. In particular, MAXWELL involved Minor Victim-1 in group sexualized massages of Epstein. During those group sexualized massages, MAXWELL and/or Minor Victim-1 would engage in sex acts with Epstein. Epstein and MAXWELL both encouraged Minor Victim-1 to travel to Epstein's residences in both New York and Florida. As a result, Minor Victim-1 was sexually abused by Epstein in both New York and Florida. Minor Victim-1 was enticed to travel across state lines for the purpose of sexual encounters with Epstein, and MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with Minor Victim-1 after Minor-Victim-1 traveled to Epstein's properties, including in the context of a sexualized massage. b. MAXWELL interacted with Minor Victim-2 on at least one occasion in or about 1996 at Epstein's residence in New Mexico when Minor Victim-2 was under the age of 18. Victim-2 had flown into New Mexico from out of state at Epstein's invitation for the purpose of being groomed for and/or subjected to acts of sexual abuse. MAXWELL knew that Minor Victim-2 was under the age of 18 at the time. While in New Mexico, MAXWELL and Epstein took Minor Victim-2 to a movie and MAXWELL took Minor Victim-2 shopping. MAXWELL also discussed Minor Victim-2's school, classes, and family with Minor Victim￾2. In New Mexico, MAXWELL began her efforts to groom Minor Victim-2 for abuse by Epstein by, among other things, providing 8 Minor EFTA00075082 cadstlivi444614MnritthrlikkWifenaiNsfitaFerm* WA 19 an unsolicited massage to Minor Victim-2, during which Minor Victim-2 was topless. MAXWELL also encouraged Minor Victim-2 to massage Epstein. c. MAXWELL groomed and befriended Minor Victim-3 in London, England between approximately 1994 and 1995, including during a period of time in which MAXWELL knew that Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18. Among other things, MAXWELL discussed Minor Victim-3's life and family with Minor Victim-3. MAXWELL introduced Minor Victim-3 to Epstein and arranged for multiple interactions between Minor Victim-3 and Epstein. During those interactions, MAXWELL encouraged Minor Victim-3 to massage Epstein, knowing that Epstein would engage in sex acts with Minor Victim-3 during those massages. Minor Victim-3 provided Epstein with the requested massages, and during those massages, Epstein sexually abused Minor Victim-3. MAXWELL was aware that Epstein engaged in sexual activity with Minor Victim-3 on multiple occasions, including at times when Minor Victim-3 was under the age of 18, including in the context of a sexualized massage. MAXWELL'S EFFORTS TO CONCEAL HER CONDUCT 8. In or around 2016, in the context of a deposition as part of civil litigation, GHISLAINE MAXWELL, the defendant, repeatedly provided false and perjurious statements, under oath, regarding, among other subjects, her role in facilitating the EFTA00075083 ca§tsV4% Get.

Jane Doe met Epstein and his friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, in the summer of 1994 at Michigan's interlochen Arts Camp, where she was In voice training, according to newly flied court papers suing Epstein's estate and Maxwell. The duo quickly took her under their wing, taking her to movies and on shopping trips in her home state of Florida and all the while grooming her for abuse, the Manhattan federal court suit says. Epstein "started to slowly display his pedophilic ways when shopping with Doe and Maxwell. Instead of letting Doe pick out clothes she wanted to wear, Epstein Insisted that she pick out and wear little children's cotton underwear," the suit says. EFTA00075104 Casgast56/201433/atAirnattdiintiertit7107.22-62CF 052/903gEfEaget 2269161 She was first allegedly abused in a pool house that same year when Epstein pulled her onto her his lap and began masturbating — claiming this was what "professionals" did. The attacks escalated, the court papers claim. The financier would regularly sexually assault her and force her to perform sex acts in Palm Beach, New York City and his New Mexico ranch, always traveling to the locations on his private plane dubbed the "Lolita Express." At 16, Epstein put Doe up in one of his apartments in New York City — near his own townhouse, where he would allegedly rape her the next year. MAIM Feds finally start investigating Jeffrey Epstein's gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell "In 1997, while at Epstein's townhouse on 9 East 71st Street in the City of New York. Epstein asked 17-year-old Doe if she had a boyfriend. Doe replied that she did not," the lawsuit reads. "Epstein responded that when she did have a boyfriend she would want the sex to be 'good' and that she should 'get it over with already; meaning lose her virginity." "Despite Doe's resistance, Epstein then pushed Doe down onto her stomach and raped her. From that point forward for several years in New York. Epstein raped Doe on multiple occasions," the papers claim, noting Maxwell was often present when the abuse took place. The court papers also claim Epstein introduced her to President Trump when she was 14 years old, allegedly elbowing Trump and saying, "This is a good one, right?" "Trump smiled and nodded in agreement." the suit states. A spokesperson for the president did not immediately return a request for comment. Doe is suing Epstein's estate, alleging sexual assault, sexual battery, false imprisonment and other charges. Her complaint joins over a dozen filed by other women claiming they were trafficked and abused by the multi-millionaire. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in August while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. His death was officially ruled a suicide by hanging.

Support our journalism. Subscribe today. 3 A grand jury indictment unsealed Thursday charged Maxwell, daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, with perjury and conspiring to entice minors to travel to engage in sex acts. Maxwell has been under investigation for months as a possible accomplice to Epstein's history of sexual abuse of underage girls. Epstein, who committed suicide while in federal custody last summer, dated Maxwell for years, and the indictment charges she played a key role in grooming girls for him to abuse. AD EFTA00075129 CasC1.15Z6,,Z7n3LbitRmErttcWneneleMZ2VilatM20/2bagPli§et2802 161 Beginning in at least 1994, the indictment alleges, Maxwell "enticed and groomed multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with Jeffrey Epstein, through a variety of means and methods." Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss called the sex abuse described in the Maxwell case "the prequel" to the charges they lodged last year against Epstein covering alleged acts of abuse in the early 2000S. "Maxwell played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify, befriend, and groom minor victims for abuse," said Strauss, who oversees the federal prosecutor's office in the Southern District of New York. "In some cases, Maxwell participated in the abuse herself." A lawyer for Maxwell, Jeff Pagliuca, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. David Boies, who along with Sigrid McCawley represents a dozen of Epstein's accusers, said their clients were elated by the development. "It's just an enormous step," he said. AD EFTA00075130 Casen5a4)1103ElotiRmeatellikien@IMS2c,i 01190/20/RilgPMeto MOM 161 Boies said he thinks Maxwell will be under "tremendous pressure to cooperate" as she looks for ways to shave time off what may be a significant prison sentence. Maxwell could potentially help prosecutors shed light on Epstein's dealings with other wealthy and influential people who may have had encounters with underage victims, he said, adding, "There were a lot of people with a lot of public stature ... who were involved with Epstein." "The pain [Maxwell] has caused will never go away but today is a step toward healing," McCawley added in a statement, praising prosecutors on the case for their "unrelenting courage." U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrea Johnstone ordered Maxwell to remain in custody at a brief hearing via videoconference in federal court in New Hampshire, where another of her attorneys, Lawrence Vogelman, did not seek an immediate bail hearing because her lawyers plan to make those arguments after she is transferred to New York. AD EFTA00075131 CaseElt5Zicatagaot,13mErdclimen01,0M92V,i08916ffie/Ragn§eDSOG2 161 In a court filing, prosecutors said Maxwell should stay behind bars pending trial because she might flee given her "extensive international ties," noting she has citizenship in two countries and three passports in her name. Maxwell, 58, faces the possibility of 85 years in prison if convicted and has "absolutely no reason to stay in the United States," prosecutors argued in the filing. Prosecutors also said the Epstein investigation is not over and asked any victims or witnesses to Epstein's abuse of minors to contact the FBI. William Sweeney, head of the FBI's New York office, called Maxwell "one of the villains" of the Epstein saga and said that agents kept close tabs on her after she "slithered away to a gorgeous property in New Hampshire." AD The indictment charged that Maxwell "would try to normalize sexual abuse for a minor victim by, among other things, discussing sexual topics, undressing in front EFTA00075132 CasC13.252114)ThatotinevictentalateaS2Cila89=0/Riagnijet3102 161 of the victim, being present when a minor victim was undressed, and/or being present for sex acts involving the minor victim and Epstein." One of the victims was 14 years old when Epstein and Maxwell began grooming her for sex acts with Epstein, according to the indictment. The victims were groomed or abused at a number of Epstein's luxurious homes, including his sprawling Upper East Side townhouse in Manhattan, an estate in Palm Beach, Fla., a ranch in Santa Fe, N.M., and Maxwell's home in London, according to the charges. "Minor Victim-2," according to the indictment, was under 18 when she was flown to New Mexico at Epstein's invitation. "In New Mexico, Maxwell began her efforts to groom Minor Victim-2 for abuse by Epstein by, among other things, providing an unsolicited massage to Minor Victim-2, during which Minor Victim-2 was topless," the indictment charged. Maxwell is also accused of grooming and befriending a third victim, whom she met in London between 1994 and 1995. She allegedly encouraged that victim to give Epstein massages "knowing that Epstein would engage in sex acts with Minor Victim-3 during those massages." The indictment also accuses Maxwell of lying in a deposition in 2016 when asked about these activities by a lawyer for one of Epstein's alleged victims, when she denied any knowledge of him engaging in sex acts with minors. When asked if Epstein had a scheme to recruit underage girls for sexual massages, Maxwell replied, "I don't know what you're talking about," the indictment says. EFTA00075133 Cas61105a,‘DV133Uctlinefttc1(Aitin@laMZ2IF,iiezt9211129/2bagPa§et3205f 161 AD Strauss, the acting U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said the socialite told that lie and others in the deposition because the truth "was almost unspeakable — Maxwell enticed minor girls, got them to trust her, then delivered them into the trap that she and Epstein had set for them. She pretended to be a woman they could trust, all the while she was setting them up to be sexually abused by Epstein." Maxwell's arrest was first reported Thursday by NBC News. Epstein, 66, was a registered sex offender who was arrested last year on federal sex trafficking charges for alleged abuses of underage girls in New York and Florida. His suicide in a Manhattan federal detention center led to charges against two of his guards who were accused of failing to check on him in his cell in the hours before he was found hanging from a bedsheet. Epstein's ability to avoid a lengthy prison sentence has raised questions about whether the wealthy, politically connected sex offender — with ties to both President Trump and former president Bill Clinton — was able to manipulate state and federal officials to go easy on him. Years before his 2019 arrest, Epstein had resolved similar allegations with a plea deal involving state charges in Florida that allowed him to spend a little more than a year in jail and leave daily for work — an arrangement widely criticized as too lenient. As part of that deal, prosecutors agreed not to pursue cases against Epstein's associates who might have recruited girls for him. EFTA00075134 CaseltIt5ZGI‘DV1a3Uotilmeittctrdnenta(MZ2V,il&MMItEigPftet3305f 161 AD Gloria Allred, a lawyer representing more than a dozen of Epstein's alleged victims, said her clients hope Maxwell "will be accountable if the evidence presented in court proves beyond a reasonable doubt that she had a role in assisting and recruiting young girls to be sex trafficked and sexually victimized by Jeffrey Epstein." The investigation into Epstein's conduct continued after his jailhouse death and has ensnared Britain's Prince Andrew, another old friend of the late financier. Federal prosecutors complained earlier this year that Andrew has provided "zero cooperation" to authorities. One of Epstein's accusers, claims she was paid by Epstein for sexual encounters with the prince when she was 17. The prince has denied any wrongdoing. On Thursday, Strauss made clear prosecutors still want to talk to him. "We would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk to us," she said. "We would like to have the benefit of his statement." Epstein's alleged victims continue to pursue lawsuits against his estate, which is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.

"They took her to movies, went shopping with her and lounged around Epstein's estate with her," Doe alleged in her complaint.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan denied Maxwell's proposal of a $5 million bond co￾signed by two of her sisters and backed up by more than $3.75 million in property in the UK. Maxwell's legal team had argued she would be confined to a 'luxury hotel' in the New York area, surrender all her travel documents and be subject to GPS monitoring. But Judge Nathan ruled the British socialite was a significant flight risk, citing her 'substantial international' ties and 'extraordinary financial resources', setting an anticipated trial date for July 12, 2021. Maxwell is accused of grooming girls as young as 14 for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 1997, a period when she was his girlfriend. She faces up to 35 years in prison if found guilty of the charges, as prosecutors successfully argued that along with her three passports, connections to some of the world's most powerful people and her own fortune of more than $10 million - Maxwell had every incentive to try and flee.

During the two hour and 20 minute hearing at Manhattan's Federal Court, Maxwell appeared via video from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The small room she was in had white walls, a white bed, a window with frosted glass and a door at the back. She was wearing a dark brown prison issued top and her dark hair was far longer than in the past - she reportedly has not had a haircut in a year - and was swept behind her head in a bun. At the start of the hearing, Maxwell rested her elbows on a table in front of the camera and put her head on her hands. She appeared nervous and pensive and kept looking from side to side, as she leaned into the camera. Maxwell briefly spoke and only to confirm she could hear the judge and to enter her plea by saying: 'Not guilty, your honor'. Her demeanor changed when prosecutor began outlining the allegations against her, sitting back in her chair and bowing her head when accused her of 'sexual abuse of minors'. With every allegation, Maxwell either scratched her face or moved her hair, but was emotionless as victim impact statements were read aloud. It wasn't until Judge Nathan started reading her decision that Maxwell finally broke down. She began moving uneasily in her chair as the judge said the evidence against her was 'strong'. When Judge Nathan said a 'combination of factors' showed she had the 'motive and opportunity' to flee before her trial, Maxwell wiped a tear away. The second tear fell as the judge said Maxwell was 'sophisticated at hiding her financial resources'.

Maxwell sat though prosecutors detailing how she was 'skilled at living in hiding' and as two victims argued she was a flight risk, with one writing: 'Without Ghislaine, Jeffrey couldn't have done what he did. She is a predator and a monster.' Prosecutors argued against Maxwell being granted bail, citing that due to holding both French and British passports, she has the ability to 'live beyond the reach of extradition indefinitely'. Prosecutor argued: 'She is good at living under an assumed identity. There really can be no question that she can live in hiding.' She revealed when Maxwell bought her $1 million home in Bradford, New Hampshire last December, she toured the property with a real estate agent using an alias. said: 'The real estate agent told the FBI agent the buyers for the house introduced themselves as Scott and Janet Marshall. Both had British accents. 'Scott Marshall told her he was retired from the British military and was currently working on a book. Janet Marshall described herself as a journalist.' Last summer, DailyMail.com previously tracked down Maxwell in Manchester-by-the-Sea, living at a home owned by her tech CEO lover Scott Borgerson. It is unclear if the man who toured the New Hampshire home with Maxwell was Borgerson. also read out a victim impact statement from a woman identified as Jane Doe, who also made the case that Maxwell was a flight risk. The victim said she knew Maxwell for 10 years and the socialite intended to 'deliver' her to Epstein, all the while knowing the 'heinous dehumanization that awaited me'. The woman claimed Maxwell 'was in charge' and 'egged' Epstein on. She described Maxwell as 'sociopathic' and said she would 'have done anything to get what she wanted - to satisfy Jeffrey Epstein'.

He said: 'Our client is not Jeffrey Epstein, and she has been the target of endless media spin', leading prosecutor. to later shoot back: 'These are the facts. It is not dirt, it is not spin, it is evidence to the court.' Cohen claimed Maxwell had received numerous threats and denied she had refused to open her front door to the FBI when they raided her home on July 2. He claimed her front door was unlocked, the windows were open and she had 'surrendered' to the agents. Addressing reports that Maxwell had wrapped her mobile phone in tin foil, which prosecutors called a 'seemingly misguided effort to evade detection' by law enforcement, Cohen claimed her phone had been hacked and she had to preserve the phone as evidence.

With her bail now denied, Maxwell will return to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Journalists had started lining up outside the federal court in downtown Manhattan at 6am to get a seat inside the courtroom. They were allowed in at 11.45am and had to stand 6ft apart while they waited to ensure social distancing. The hearing took place in the jury assembly room which normally has space for hundreds of people but had a dramatically reduced capacity of just 60 due to the coronavirus. A dial-in phone line allowed 1,000 more people to listen in - the capacity was increased from 500 due to world-wide interest. Inside the room there were two projector screens, which showed the proceedings live. All parties, including the judge, appeared remotely and no one was physically in court. Maxwell's lawyer was visible at all times in a box on the screen. Maxwell had her own box, the judge had one and the prosecutors had another. Maxwell's mugshot has not been released by the federal authorities and the hearing offered the first chance to see her in at least a year. Maxwell's whereabouts had largely been unknown since Epstein's arrest last July. Although DailyMail.com tracked her down to the New England coast last summer, she vanished again, later popping up in a photo at an In-N-Out in Los Angeles. The FBI managed to finally trace her down in the quiet and rural town of Bradford, New Hampshire earlier this month, where she had been living since December.

The filing said: 'As the agents approached the front door to the main house, they announced themselves as FBI agents and directed the defendant to open the door. 'Through a window, the agents saw the defendant ignore the direction to open the door and, instead, try to flee to another room in the house, quickly shutting a door behind her. Agents were ultimately forced to breach the door in order to enter the house to arrest the defendant, who was found in an interior room in the house. 'Moreover, as the agents conducted a security sweep of the house, they also noticed a cell phone wrapped in tin foil on top of a desk, a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection, not by the press or public, which of course would have no ability to trace her phone or intercept her communications, but by law enforcement'.

The filing states: 'The guard informed the FBI that the defendant had not left the property during his time working there, and that instead, the guard was sent to make purchases for the property using the credit card. As these facts make plain, there should be no question that the defendant is skilled at living in hiding'. In their filings to the court Maxwell's lawyers had argued that she is at increased risk of catching the coronavirus whilst in prison. So far there have only been five cases and no deaths at the prison. They claim that the restrictions on access to her lawyers caused by the pandemic would mean it was impossible for her to get a fair trial.

The charges against Ghislaine Maxwell arise from her essential role in sexual exploitation that caused deep and lasting harm to vulnerable victims. At the heart of this case are brave women who are victims of serious crimes that demand justice. The defendant's motion wholly fails to appreciate the driving force behind this case: the defendant's victims were sexually abused as minors as a direct result of Ghislaine Maxwell's actions, and they have carried the trauma from these events for their entire adult lives. They deserve to see her brought to justice at a trial. There will be no trial for the victims if the defendant is afforded the opportunity to flee the jurisdiction, and there is every reason to think that is exactly what she will do if she is released. For the reasons detailed in the Detention Memorandum, and as further discussed below, the defendant poses a clear risk of flight, and no conditions of bail could reasonably assure her continued appearance in this case. Among other concerns: (1) she is a citizen of a country that does not extradite its own citizens; (2) she appears to have access to considerable wealth EFTA00075183 CaseastOW24743MARnEEDOdalitrtil7107SE2CF 05' /e0g€Pacti2013161 EFTA00075184 Cas“st612€1143/01295iFm etyltirrieitt710747412CF O17233/PagEFlajecti/2O9161 Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 22 Filed 07/13/20 Page 3 of 19 domestically and abroad; (3) her finances are completely opaque, as her memorandum pointedly declines to provide the Court with information about her financial resources; and (4) she appears to be skilled at living in hiding. These are glaring red flags, even before the Court considers the gravity of the charges in this case and the serious penalties the defendant faces if convicted at trial. Instead of attempting to address the risks of releasing a defendant with apparent access to extraordinary financial resources, who has the ability to live beyond the reach of extradition in France, and who has already demonstrated a willingness and ability to live in hiding, the defendant instead proposes a bail package that amounts to little more than an unsecured bond. Among other things, the proposed bail package contemplates the defendant pledging as the sole security a property that is beyond the territory and judicial reach of the United States, and which therefore is of no value as collateral. She proposes six unidentified co-signers, an unknown number of whom even reside in the United States, and stone of whose assets are identified. The Court and the Government have no information whatsoever regarding whether these co-signers would be able to able to pay the proposed $5 million bond should the defendant flee — or if, of equal concern, the co-signers are themselves so wealthy that it would be no financial burden whatsoever to do so. The defendant does not identify what residence she proposes to live at in the Southern District of New York, nor does she identify any meaningful ties to the area. And most importantly, the defendant's memorandum provides the Court with no information whatsoever about her own finances or her access to the wealth of others, declining to provide the Court the very information that would inform any decision about whether a bond is even meaningful to the defendant — and which the Government submits would reveal the defendant's financial means to flee and live comfortably abroad for the rest of her life. 2 EFTA00075185 CasedsidA3V21743/0tARTIEIDO(161141e617107042CF 07 0:4 /120g€PS84208161 EFTA00075186 CaseaSSEnW201431DIAPnrifttbdOvgetilaing-IWCF /alg€Flajectig08161 Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 22 Filed 07/13/20 Page 4 of 19 Finally, the Government recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic is — and should be — a relevant factor for the Court and the parties in this case. However, the Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") is taking very significant steps to address that concern, and the defendant has offered no reason why she should be treated any differently from the many defendants who are currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center ("MDC") pending trial, including defendants who have medical conditions that place them at heightened risk. Inmates at the MDC are able to assist in their own defense, especially long before trial, through established policies and procedures applicable to every pretrial detainee. This defendant should not be granted the special treatment she requests. The defendant faces a presumption of detention, she has significant assets and foreign ties, she has demonstrated her ability to evade detection, and the victims of the defendant's crimes seek her detention. Because there is no set of conditions short of incarceration that can reasonably assure the defendant's appearance, the Government urges the Court to detain her. ARGUMENT Each of the relevant factors to be considered as to flight risk — the nature and circumstances of the offense, the strength of the evidence, and the history and characteristics of the defendant — weigh strongly in favor of detention, and the defendant's proposed package would do absolutely nothing to mitigate those risks. I. The Defendant's Victims Seek Detention As the Court is aware, pursuant to the Crime Victims' Rights Act ("CVRA"), a crime victim has the right to be reasonably heard at certain public proceedings in the district court, including proceedings involving release. 18 U.S.C. § 377 l(a)(4). Consistent with that requirement, the Government has been in contact with victims and their counsel in connection with its application for detention. Counsel for one victim has already conveyed to the Government that 3 EFTA00075187 Cas6asttha0143/01/APn Obdavielft71804/2-62 OF 07 boa /20g EgiVeG46209161 EFTA00075188 Cas6astr&M€114310OARnebddirrileift71804/2-62CE 07729/fiGgEFleijectlE09161 Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 22 Filed 07/13/20 Page 5 of 19 their client opposes bail for the defendant, and has asked the Government to convey that view to the Court. The Government also expects that one or more victims will exercise their right to be heard at the July 14, 2020 hearing in this matter, and will urge the Court not to grant bail. More generally, as noted above, the Government is deeply concerned that if the defendant is bailed, the victims will be denied justice in this case. That outcome is unacceptable to both the victims and the Government. II. The Government's Case Is Strong The defendant's motion argues, in a conclusory fashion, that the Government's case must be weak because the conduct charged occurred in the 1990s. That argument, which ignores the many specific allegations in the Indictment, could not be more wrong. As the superseding indictment (the "Indictment") makes plain, multiple victims have provided detailed, credible evidence of the defendant's criminal conduct. And while that conduct did take place a number of years ago, it is unsurprising that the victims have been unable to forget the defendant's predatory conduct after all this time, as traumatic childhood experiences often leave indelible marks. The recollections of the victims bear striking resemblances that corroborate each other and provide compelling proof of the defendant's active participation in a disturbing scheme to groom and sexually abuse minor girls. In addition to compelling victim accounts, as the Government has explained, the victims' accounts are corroborated by documentary evidence and other witnesses. In particular, the victims' accounts are supported by contemporaneous documents and records, such as flight records, diary entries, and business records. The powerful testimony of these victims, who had strikingly similar experiences with Maxwell, together with documentary 4 EFTA00075189 Cas6ast6V2€1143/0tAPneDbetarferWIDOSE2CF O:e /120gEFlaiffectige09161 EFTA00075190 Cas6asit 6V2€11/$3/0tArmabdarrietit71808452CE 0,70/PEIgEFIeljectigeN161 Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN Document 22 Filed 07/13/20 Page 6 of 19 evidence and witness testimony, will conclusively establish that the defendant groomed the victims for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.' The defendant's motion alludes to defenses in this case, all of which are legal or procedural in nature, and none of which pass muster, let alone counsel in favor of bail. To begin with, the notion that the defendant is protected from prosecution by the Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") between Jeffrey Epstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida ("SDFL") is absurd. That agreement affords her no protection in this District, for at least three reasons. First, the defendant was not a party to that agreement nor named in it as a third-party beneficiary, and the defendant offers no basis to think she would have standing to claim any rights under the NPA. Tellingly, the defendant cites no authority for the proposition that an agreement she was not a party to and that does not even identify her by name could possibly be invoked to bar her prosecution. Second, and equally important, the NPA does not bind the Southern District of New York, which was not a party to the agreement. See (lulled States v. Annabl, 771 F.2d 670, 672 (2d Cir. 1985) (per curiam) ("A plea agreement binds only the office of the United States Attorney for the district in which the plea is entered unless it affirmatively appears that the agreement contemplates a broader restriction.")); (lulled States v. Prim), 391 F. App'x 920, 921 (2d Cir. 2010). This rule applies even when the text of the agreement refers to the signing party as the "Government." Annab1, 771 F.2d at 672. Third, and perhaps most important, even assuming the NPA could be read to protect this defendant and bind this Office, which are both legally unsound propositions, the Indictment Additionally, and beyond the strong evidence set forth in the Indictment, in just the past week, and in response to the charges against the defendant being made public, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") and the U.S. Attorney's Office have been in touch with additional individuals who have expressed a willingness to provide information regarding the defendant. The Government is in the process of receiving and reviewing this additional evidence, which has the potential to make the Government's case even stronger. 5 EFTA00075191 Cas6angS6112014310tteneodirrilet7107e4E2CF (12.0107 Xle /20g Ellatjecn09161 New York prosecutors said in a filing Monday this was evidence that Maxwell was 'skilled at living in hiding' and should be denied bail Proposed Boil Conditions. In light of the above, we propose the following bail conditions, which are consistent with those that courts in this Circuit have imposed in analogous situations: 01 a S5 million personal recognizance bond, co-signed by six financially responsible i eople, all of whom have strong ties to Ms. Maxwell, and secured by real property in the United kingdom worth over 53.75 million; (ii) travel restricted to the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York; (iii) surrender of all travel documents with no new applications; (iv) strict supervision by Pretrial Services: ( v ) home confinement at a residence in the Southern District of New York with electronic GPS monitoring; (vi) visitors limited to Ms. Maxwell's immediate family, close friends and counsel; (vii) travel limited to Court appearances and to counsel's office, except upon application to Pretrial Services and the government; and (viii) such other terms as the Court may deem appropriate under Section 3142.

The victims have made clear they want Maxwell remanded in custody and say they were 'directly abused as a result of Ghislaine Maxwell's actions'. The document states: 'While that conduct did take place a number of years ago, it is unsurprising that the victims have been unable to forget the defendant's predatory conduct after all this time, as traumatic childhood experiences often leave indelible marks.

The prosecutors said that it was 'curious' that Maxwell claimed to have access to millions of dollars had not offered 'a single dime' as collateral for her bond. They claimed that Maxwell's finances were 'completely opaque' and she had not even indicated which properties she would use for her bond. Some of the co-signers are 'themselves so wealthy that it would be no financial burden whatsoever' if they lost their $5 million by Maxwell skipping bail, the document states. Epstein's victims have long demanded Maxwell's arrest and lawyers for them say that a slew of new accusers have come forward since she was apprehended. Prosecutors will likely be looking to do a plea deal with Maxwell to lighten some of the six charges against her, two of which are perjury for allegedly lying during depositions. They will be questioning her about powerful men in Epstein's orbit including Bill Clinton with whom she flew on Epstein's private jet, called the 'Lolita Express', on a tour of Africa in 2002. Maxwell was also good friends with Prince Andrew and one of Epstein's victims, ims she was loaned out to the Duke three times for sex when she was 17.

But it also offered hints at her defense strategy. During the two-hour video-conference hearing Tuesday, Maxwell's lawyers questioned the credibility of her accusers as well as the strength of the government's case. While the arguments were designed to win bail, they'll likely be the same ones used at the 58-year-old's trial, which is scheduled to start next July. The federal charges stem from events that are more than two decades old, Maxwell's lawyer, Mark Cohen, said, noting that the government doesn't have "tapes or video" or other such evidence to support the allegations. "Absolutely, the defense is telegraphing where they're going," said David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who listened in on Maxwell's hearing. "While the defense isn't putting all of their cards on the table, they showed they're going to argue that she was as 113 EFTA00075194 Cas6asE8V2€11433112APnEDbUirrtetfit718002-0120F 07/3233/20gEFIgjeo1208161 much a victim of Epstein -- much in the same way as these girls were -- and that she didn't know what was going on behind closed doors." Cohen briefly took aim a e of Maxwell's accusers. He said she has sued Maxwell and is seeking a d set up for Epstein's victims, Cohen said. Established in May, Epstein's victims can be compensated by the financier's estate, valued at more than US$600 million. That's a dangerous tactic that might backfire at trial, said David Boies, who represents and several other women who say they were sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell. It's "a tone-deaf argument" that cost Maxwell her credibility, said Boies, who listened to the hearing remotely. "To mount a 'blame the victim' defense, particularly in today's world and trying to blame these girls for what happened is so contrary to the evidence, is so contrary to people's normal sense of morality," Boies said. "I think that's just going to enrage a jury if she goes to trial -- which I would not do if I were representing her." Boies said he was confident would stand up to cross-examination if there's a trial. who addressed the court by telephone, urged the judge not to grant Maxwell bail, calling her a "sexual predator who groomed and abused me."

Boies said that Maxwell. as a 16-year-old who "wanted to go to college" when she met "Maxwell and Epstein tell and her mother 'we're having a group of high school students to this ranch to help them get into college,"' Boies said. "But when gets there, there are no high school students, all these claims are fraudulent and she's in this isolated place in New Mexico." Remote Hearing Because of the pandemic, Maxwell's hearing was held remotely with press and the public permitted to hear arguments over the phone. About 6o members of the press were allowed to watch the proceeding on monitors in a jury room in the Manhattan courthouse, with the judge, lawyers and Maxwell all in different locations. Prosecutors also offered detail on their evidence, saying they have travel records, photographs and other documents that will support the charges. 213 EFTA00075195 Cas6ast6V41431)thiFm cittbdtintift71804/2-4120F 07/29/EGgEF141.014209161 Along with remarks, Assistant U.S. Attorney read from a letter written by another of Maxwell's alleged victims, who asked to be identified only as Jane Doe. It's possible that the woman may testify at the trial as well. "Without Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein could not have done what he did; she egged him on," the woman said in the letter.

Since the death of sex trafficker-rapist-pedophile Jeffrey Epstein last August, the woman who allegedly recruited his many, many underage girls and sexually abused them herself has been in hiding. And Ghislaine Maxwell has hardly been moving cave-to-cave. Most recent reports put the 58-year-old in a luxury apartment in Paris, right off the Champs Elysees. EFTA00075251 CasECIalf5atila3QotamettlfititrY0101:8292c,i1ZWITin/iCagPW (15305f 161 At the risk of stating the obvious, Paris, too, is on COVID-19 lockdown. The Sun reports that Maxwell is currently living on Avenue Matignon in the city's 8th arrondissement, in an apartment reportedly owned by a Normandy-based millionaire. This would put her just five minutes away from the late Epstein's own Parisian apartment, which was raided shortly after his suicide. So: where is the urgency? Why hasn't this depraved criminal suspect, one who by many credible accounts sexually abused minors for years, been arrested yet? France may not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.. but that doesn't explain why French authorities haven't taken her into custody. It's well-known that Jeffrey Epstein was a sexual predator who knew no geographic boundaries. Maxwell appears to have been his madam, his pimp, his enabler, his co-conspirator, and reportedly a sexual offender herself. The world would be better off without her moving around in it. Yet it seems there are powerful people who disagree. What other explanation is there? Maxwell is one of the world's most wanted women, sought by the FBI for questioning. Yet before the lockdown, she was seen swanning around Paris. patronizing high-profile. four-star restaurants and cafés, dropping into art galleries. a scarf tied around her head as if she were Jackie 0 on Fifth Avenue. These are the defiant actions of a remorseless woman who knows she is well protected. Her hiding seems almost performative. Maxwell isn't hunkered down on a private island or on a yacht in international waters. Her whereabouts are well known. Yet we're still playing "Where in the World is Ghislaine Maxwell?" ;luxury apartments on on Avenue Matignon in Paris where Maxwell has reportedly been living. Luxury apartments on Avenue Matignon in Parrs where Maxwell has reportedly been living. Getty Imaoes There's a reason conspiracy theories still swirl around Epstein's suicide. At the time, he was likely the most high value suspect in U.S. federal custody. As it was, his arrest was long overdue. His case made international headlines. He was on suicide watch. -Mg= Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly hiding from the fads in plush Paris apartment And he was friends with very powerful men, heads of state and royals among them, hosted at his homes and on his private island, flying on his private jet, known to all as The Lolita Express. So the idea that none of these men knew about Jeffrey Epstein, again, defies the most basic logic. Sure, Prince Andrew has "stepped down" as a senior royal. So what? What does that even mean? He has never faced any consequences of any kind, even though Virginia Guiffre Roberts has made consistent and credible claims that Epstein sex trafficked her to Andrew when she was just 17.

Maxwell doesn't even have the temerity of a Roman Polanski, who also fled to France and whose stance for decades has been "Yes, I raped a 13-year-old girl. Bygones." We are living in a fraught and electric moment, one in which all manner of injustice is no longer tolerated, protests in the streets day after day, forcing us to ask hard and painful questions in pursuit of a fairer and freer world.

She said: "I believe he was abusing young girls right up until the day he was arrested. "There are likely to be multiple young victims out there who are still in their teens, perhaps still living with their parents and too ashamed and confused to speak out. "I know how it feels because I was one of them. I thought about suicide, I tried to cut my wrists. These girls need support before it's too late. "They need to know it's OK to tell their stories." She contacted the FBI and police after Epsetin's arrest last July 6 on federal sex trafficking charges filed in the Southern District of New York because she knew Epstein was locked up. The 22-year-old, who is thought to be the youngest woman to come forward, wants to remain anonymous because she fears reprisals from Epstein's powerful pals and accomplices. This is despite the 66-year-old being found hanged in a New York jail cell nearly a year ago.

It is also alleged that she sometimes participated in the abuse during massage sessions at Epstein's Manhattan mansion and properties in Palm Beach, New Mexico and London. She also denies this. When Epstein brought her into a dimly lit room with red velvet curtains she claimed he began fondling her, saying it was normal for young models to do "favours" for older men in the fashion industry. She was later raped by Epstein, who in doing so took her virginity. Epstein was subject to two criminal indictments. One focused largely on his activities in Palm Beach, Florida before 2008 when Epstein signed a controversial non-prosecution deal to avoid federal charges. The other cites abuse in New York, Florida and other locations between 2002 and "at least in or about 2005". But civil lawsuits give a broader timeframe for his crimes.. A January 2020 suit filed by prosecutors in the US Virgin Islands alleges that Epstein trafficked, raped and abused children on his private island as recently as 2019. This was the year he was arrested and was later found dead last August 10.
