Jeffrey Epstein Victim: Ghislaine Maxwell “Trained Me as a Sex Slave”

HeadlineJul 31, 2020

A New York judge has unsealed 2,000 documents from a 2015 civil lawsuit filed against Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite who is accused of luring girls to be sexually abused by convicted predator and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In the documents, one victim, Virginia Giuffre, says, “Ghislaine Maxwell brought me into the sex-trafficking industry. She’s the one who abused me on a regular basis. She’s the one that procured me, told me what to do, trained me as a sex slave, abused me physically, abused me mentally.” Maxwell was arrested earlier this month. Epstein died in prison last year.
