The prosecution accuses Maxwell of gaining the trust of these young women, some as young as 14, beginning in the mid-1990s, to propose that they give nude massages to Epstein before moving on to the sexual act.

They also accuse her of having participated in the abuse of young women in her London home and in the sumptuous homes Epstein owned in Manhattan, Palm Beach and New Mexico.

According to the summary,

“Lively and interesting”

The name of Maxwell It came to light in 1991 when her father, the media mogul who was also a six-year MP, drowned when he fell off his yacht named “Lady Ghislaine” by his adored daughter.

With his death, rumors of shady financial operations emerged in the newspapers of the Mirror Group Newspaper (MGN), which tarnished the good name of the family of the Czechoslovakian-born Jewish businessman who fled the Nazis to the United Kingdom.

This did not prevent her daughter from maintaining her opulent life and entering the select circuit of Manhattan’s elite.

His circle of friends includes Prince Andrew, former President Donald Trump and the Clinton family. Maxwell It appears in a photo of the wedding of Chelsea, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

In 2011, a contributor to Vanity Fair magazine described her as “the most interesting, liveliest, and most unusual person in a room.”

Maxwell was a renowned diver and pilot, who founded an environmental NGO, the TerraMar Project, to protect the oceans.

It is not clear how he met Epstein, with whom she had an affair in the 1990s before becoming her “best friend,” as he acknowledged in a 2003 Vanity Fair article.

“Villain”

He has always denied having done anything wrong despite the six charges that weigh on this “villain”, as defined by an FBI agent.

She is also charged with perjury in testimony she gave in 2016 following a defamation complaint filed by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged victims.

Possessing several passports, the authorities have repeatedly denied her bail due to the risk that she may flee the country.

Accustomed to great luxuries, she has complained about the conditions of detention in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Jail, where she remained for more than a year in isolation.

Her team of lawyers assures that unsanitary conditions have weakened her.

But during the jury selection a few days ago, she appeared elegantly dressed in a black sweater and gray pants, and with her shiny dark hair despite complaining that she was losing it in jail.

It is rare that defendants like Maxwell agree to speak at the trial, but it is not ruled out.

The defense is expected to attack the credibility and memory of the four women who have denounced this teacher, according to the prosecution, in the art of manipulation.
