Ghislaine Maxwell, 58-year-old British Socialite, daughter of the late British media Mogul Robert Maxwell and former girlfriend of The late Sex Offender, Jeffery Epstein, was arrested on the 2 July 2020  by the FBI on her 156 – acre Estate, located at 338 East Washington Road in Bradford, New Hampshire. She arrived in New York, where she was transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a far cry from her lavish lifestyle.  

Her arrest came almost a year after her disappearance from the public eye, following the arrest and death of the late Financier, Jeffery Epstein, in 2019. He was arrested in July 2019 on Federal sex trafficking charges. She has been accused by multiple survivors of her being complicit in Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking operation. Ms. Maxwell faces 35 years if convicted.

Ms Maxwell is charged with playing an interictal role in the late Jeffery Epstein alleged sex-trafficking operation, going back as far as 1994.  She is accused of aiding and abetting Epstein to recruit, groom and traffic young girls, from as young as fourteen into sexual exploitation and abuse.

Ms Maxwell befriended minor girls and would pretend she has interest in them. Once she gained their trust, she lured them into accepting a job offer with Epstein, with great benefits that included traveling and paying for their education. Upon accepting Maxwell’s offer, these minor girls were unaware of what awaited them. They were not only sexually abused by Epstein and Ms Maxwell; they were also trafficked to their circle of elite male friends. Ms Maxwell also groomed and trained young girls to recruit other young girls for Epstein.

Maxwell faces multiple charges related to sex crimes – sexual exploitation and abuse of young women and girls by Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell, is charged with multiple sex crimes and perjury:

• Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts

• Enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts

• Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity

• Transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity

Ms Maxwell lied under oath in 2016, in an effort to conceal her criminal activities.

Ms Maxwell is now ready to speak and there is a great concern of her safety in prison, especially after the suicide of the late Jeffery Epstein, who allegedly hung himself in prison in August 2019, while awaiting trial.  Epstein held a lot of evidence, on activities on his properties and the question is, was he silenced before his trial.

What does this mean for Prince Andrew and the many high-profile men who were seen spending time with the disgraced Financier, and sex offender, Jeffery Epstein?

Ghislaine is alleged to have trafficked Virginia Roberts Giuffre to Prince Andrew and many High-Profile Men.

According to Brad Edwards, who is representing survivors, says “Prince Andrew had numerous opportunities to come forward, but he refused and there is no doubt that Prince Andrew in evading authorities. Prince Andrew was also a long-time friend of Ms Maxwell and is aware of what was taking place in Epstein’s house during his stay with Epstein”. Ms Maxwell had close ties with Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew invited her and the late sex offender, Epstein to Royal events.

Early 2020, globally people found themselves in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in reality, millions are forced into lockdown due to human trafficking, for sexual exploitation and modern-day slavery and sadly some names may never be known.

If you know of someone who is exploited into modern day slavery, contact the local authorities in your area. We are also encouraging other survivors to break the silence and speak about this heinous crime for justice of all the many others who are trapped.
