The long-awaited sex-trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell begins tomorrow. Here's what you need to know about the former girlfriend and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein
Ghislaine Maxwell Photo: Laura Cavanaugh/Getty Images The long-awaited sex-trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend and longtime associate of the disgraced billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, begins November 29 in New York. Maxwell was arrested by the FBI on charges related to Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring in June 2020.
The indictment goes on to describe the alleged experiences of three unnamed minors: a 14-year-old girl who Maxwell involved in “group sexualized massages” at Epstein’s Upper East Side apartment and Palm Beach residence; a minor who Epstein convinced to visit his residence in New Mexico, where a topless Maxwell gave the minor an “unsolicited massage” and instructed the minor to massage Epstein; and a third victim who Maxwell encouraged to massage Epstein in her London residence, “knowing that...
She also, in 2012, founded the TerraMar Project, a nonprofit that advocates for protecting ocean waters. The organization shut down in the summer of 2019, after further charges against Epstein went public. She faced sex-trafficking allegations for years, but was never previously charged. Lawyers have claimed that Epstein and Maxwell acted as the leaders of an “organized crime family,” according to multiple court filings reviewed by the Miami Herald, and that Maxwell helped traffic girls and women to powerful figures. Per the documents, Maxwell lured the alleged victims into the sex ring by offering them modeling, fashion, and educational opportunities.
The documents also shed a damning light on Epstein and Maxwell’s alleged abuse of other young women and underage girls. A woman named Johanna Sjoberg testified that when she was a student at Palm Beach Atlantic College in 2001, Maxwell lured her to Epstein’s “under the guise of a legitimate job of answering phones.” Once there, she claims, she was instructed by another woman — whom Maxwell allegedly referred to as her “sex slave” — to massage Epstein to orgasm.
Nearly a year after Epstein’s death, Maxwell was arrested. It was notoriously difficult to track down Maxwell, who disappeared from public life around 2016 after the details about her involvement with Epstein surfaced. That year, her Manhattan townhouse sold for $15 million. Afterward, no one knew for certain where Maxwell was. Conspiracies followed, as did an alleged sighting at an In-N-Out in L.A.
