Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Ghislaine Maxwell Charged with Sex Trafficking 14-Year-Old Girl

HeadlineMar 30, 2021

In more news from New York, Ghislaine Maxwell — the British socialite who is accused of luring girls to be sexually abused by convicted predator and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — has been indicted on two more sex trafficking charges, including trafficking a minor. The indictment says Maxwell met the girl, who was about 14 at the time, at Epstein’s Florida home around 2001, and that the girl had been “recruited to provide Epstein with sexualized massages.” The indictment also extends the timeframe Maxwell collaborated with Epstein by several years, starting in 1994 to 2004.
