Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime associate of Jeffrey 
Epstein, charged in sex abuse case 
By Shayna Jacobs and Devlin Barrett 
July 2, 2020 at 3:14 p.m. MDT 
NEW YORK — Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime confidante of sex offender Jeffrey 
Epstein, was arrested Thursday in New Hampshire on charges she recruited and 
groomed underage girls for abuse by her then-boyfriend, officials said. 
Support our journalism. Subscribe today. 9 
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.

Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 28 of 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 2OOOS. 
"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.

Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 29 of 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.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

From beef bourguignon to beef jerky: Ghislaine Maxwell has traded in her palatial New Hampshire cabin for stripped-down 
confinement at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. 
The Oxford-educated British socialite had been lying low in a million-dollar New Hampshire hideaway featuring a cathedral 
ceiling, a massive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a gourmet kitchen, according to the home's listing. 
Jeffrey Epstein's alleged right-hand woman cooked stews for herself in a kitchen with two ovens, a six-burner stove and a 
luxury refrigerator. 
Maxwell, 58, on Monday was transferred to the city's largest federal jail, where she is expected to be kept in a 1O-foot-by-12-
foot cell. 
The notorious facility is in the midst of a lawsuit that has sounded the alarm over its potential to foster a dangerous 
coronavirus outbreak. It's the same facility where officers last month pepper-sprayed inmate Jamel Floyd to death.

Maxwell will be given a T-shirt and other basic clothing at the MDC along with a thin mattress, pillow and blanket. She may 
be allowed to have an approved religious medallion or book, such as the Bible — but cannot have any other personal 
possessions. 
After schmoozing among the global elite, Maxwell has apparently had a difficult time socializing with her fellow inmates. One 
inmate at a New Hampshire jail where she was briefly held reportedly called her a "snooty b—h." 
Injuring a high-profile inmate like Maxwell "would be a badge of honor." former MDC warden Cameron Lindsay said. 
"You go from living a life like Maxwell to all of a sudden being in a situation where you're being strip-searched and having 
people look into your body cavities," Lindsay added.

Jeffrey Epstein's ex-girlfriend Ghatoine Maxwell is accused of facilitating Epstein's sex crimes by ',sting him 
Mafia, groom and ultimately abuse three unnamed teens between 2994 and 1997. 
Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite and longtime companion of disgraced 
financier Jeffrey Epstein, is facing a reckoning for her alleged role in 
facilitating Epstein's sexual abuse of young women. 
Federal prosecutors say Maxwell played a "key role" in a multi-state sex 
trafficking scheme, in which she not only allegedly "befriended" and later 
'enticed and groomed multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with 
Epstein, through a variety of means and methods," but was also, at times, 
"present for and involved' in the abuse herself. 
Maxwell is scheduled to appear before a federal judge in New York on 
Tuesday, where she Is expected to publicly address those allegations for the 
first time. But court filings make clear that Tuesday's hearing is only the 
latest chapter in long-running legal battles waged mostly out of public 
view. 
Maxwell has been named as a defendant in five lawsuits from alleged 
Epstein victims, and in at least three others, alleged victims identify her as

But in lawsuits several of Epstein's alleged victims tell an entirely different 
story, one that often places Maxwell in a role that was central to their abuse. 
One anonymous victim, identified only as Jane Doe, alleged that Epstein 
and Maxwell "attempted to groom and mentor" her when she was just 13 
years old. 
"They took her to movies, went shopping with her and lounged around 
Epstein's estate with her," Doe alleged in her complaint. "Epstein and 
Maxwell then started to make sexual references when they were with her." 
Ultimately, according to Doe's complaint, Maxwell "regularly facilitated 
Epstein's abuse of Doe and was frequently present when it occurred?

 alleged that Maxwell "groped her" and "touched intimate 
parts oflheri body against her will for the sexual benefit of Maxwell and 
Epstein"; Doe alleged "Epstein and Maxwell proceeded to sexually assault 
Jane Doe simultaneously and by forcible compulsion" and that Maxwell 
"forcibly penetrated Jane Doe with a sex toy." 
Maxwell has, in court filings, strenuously denied any such misconduct. 
"She absolutely denies that she participated in this or any other sexual 
abuse or trafficking or assault," her lawyer wrote in response a 
allegations, "and no court, judge or jury has ever determined that she has."

Following Epstein's arrest last July and his death in prison a month later, 
Maxwell's whereabouts became the subject of intense scrutiny. She sold her 
former residences In New York and London and shuttered her non-profit 
ocean conservation organization. Various press reports placed her in 
Massachusetts, California, France and Israel, and attorneys for several of 
Epstein's alleged victims struggled to locate her in order to serve their 
lawsuits. She was ultimately arrested by the FBI in Bradford. New 
Hampshire, where prosecutors say she was living at a 156-acre property, 
nicknamed "Tucked Away? 
Prosecutors are now arguing that Maxwell poses an "extreme" flight risk, 
citing her "three passports, large sums of money, extensive international 
connections." 
Maxwell is a citizen of the United States, United Kingdom and France, 
prosecutors said, and she has traveled abroad frequently within the last 
three years. Prosecutors also believe she possesses "significant sums of 
money," citing a government Investigation that identified "more than 15 
different bank accounts held by or associated with the defendant from 2016 
to the present, and during that same period, the total balances of those 
accounts have ranged from a total of hundreds of thousands of dollars to 
more than $20 million."

In court filings related to that lawsuit, in which she claimed that Epstein 
had "promised that he would indemnify, defend, and advance any expenses 
incurred by reason of my prior employment relationship with him and his 
affiliated businesses," Maxwell contended that she had "incurred 
substantial expenses defending myself against false accusations and 
investigations." She claimed to owe more than $318,000 to a criminal 
defense firm, more than $101,000 to a civil litigation firm, and more than 
$194,000 in security and relocation costs. The estate, according to court 
records, declined to reimburse the costs.

According to Joshua Schiller of Boies, Schiller, Flexner, LLP, a firm that 
represents three Epstein's alleged victims who have filed civil suits against 
her. Maxwell has been at the forefront of the fight with Epstein's alleged 
victims long before her recent arrest. 
"(Maxwell' has been using this Court as a sword and a shield for many 
years." Schiller wrote in a filing earlier this year, "and she, Jeffrey Epstein, 
and their other co-conspirators have attempted to thwart their victims from 
obtaining justice for decades."

Maxwell, 58, is the Oxford-educated daughter of Robert Maxwell, the larger 
than life publishing baron whose rags-to-riches story captivated England. 
She lived an extravagant life among the British elite until her father's 
business empire collapsed in the wake of his death. She fled to New York 
looking for a fresh start and was soon seen in the company of the 
mysterious multimillionaire Epstein.

The defendant's financial resources appear to be substantial," prosecutors 
wrote, "and her numerous accounts and substantial money movements 
render her total financial picture opaque and indeterminate, even upon a 
review of bank records available to the Government." 
Brad Edwards, an attorney who represents several of Epstein's alleged 
victims, believes that there is still much more to learn about Maxwell. 
"I think that's the tip of the iceberg," Edwards told ABC News. "And I would 
expect the same thing that happened after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested. 
There's going to be a flood of calls and more information coming in' 
But her role in Epstein's story, he said, is already clear. 
"Ghislaine Maxwell created Jeffrey Epstein,' Edwards told ABC News. "She 
helped to create the monster that we later understood him to be."
