Day-two of 59-year-old British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell trial heard testimony today from Jane-1, the first once teenage witness, now over 40-year-of age who said she participated in group sex with former multimillionaire-financier-pervert Jeffrey Epstein who was found dead Aug. 10, 2019 in his jail cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. Epstein hung himself knowing in faced a life in prison for abusing countless underage minors in his lifelong teenage fetish, the subject of which has mesmerized TV, radio and newspaters, now having a field day with Jane-1’s X-rated testimony. Epstein’s pedophile empire involved many celebrities or political figures with whom he shared his private jet to transport clients to his Palm Beach mansion and Caribbean island where much of his illicit sexual activities took place starting in the 1980s, all through his arrest July 5, 2019
Epstein’s sexual shenanigans were caught July 27, 2006 in Palm Beach, Fl., for soliciting under age minors for prostitution, among other sex crimes with under age girls. In June 2007, Epstein was indicted in a 53-page filing by the U.S. Atty. Alexander Acosta in the Southern District Court of Florida for soliciting underage prostitutes. On June 30, 2008, Acosta worked out a plea dealt in which Epstein served only 13 months in prison, before released on probation July 22, 2009. Epstein was defended by OJ Simpson famed-Atty. Alan Dershowitz, who managed, with all his connections to get Epstein off the hook. Epstein reportedly had many high profile clients including former President Bill Clinton, former President Donald Trump, British Prince Andrew and many others who may have influenced his lenient plea deal. But by the time the FBI indicted Epstein July 5, 2017, Epstein knew his goose was cooked.
Today’s first witnesses Jane-1 at Maxwell’s trial gave lurid details of Ghislaine and Epstein welcoming underage minors at the Palm Beach mansion to engage in hands on sexual favors. Jane-1 said Epstein and Maxwell greeted her for sexual encounters for a number of years, starting when she was 14-year-of-age. It wasn’t at all clear when the sexual encounters stopped but no doubt Jane1- got too old for the perverted pedophile, craving only young teenage girls for his sexual escapades. While prosecutors continue Jane-1 testimony tomorrow, the damage was done to Ghislaine’s credibility, told she participated directly in Epstein’s perverse sexuality. Epstein’s personal pilot Larry Visoski also testified about who here recalled transporting on Epstein’s private jet, recalling numerous celebrities including Bill Clinton Prince Andrew, Itzhak Perlman, Donald Trump, Chris Tucker, John Glenn, Keven Spacey and others.
U.S. Atty. lead prosecutor Lara Pomerantz told jurors that Maxwell worked to arrange young girls for Epstein’s fetish, letting jurors know in no uncertain terms that Maxwell did more than just play around with Epstein’s games. Pomerantz said the Ghislaine actively recruited underage minor girls to feed Epstein’s fetish for sexual escapades with teenage girls. Visosk, Epstein’s pilot, testified that in the 30 years he worked for Epstein, he never saw personally Epstein or Maxwell touch anyone. Even after his arrest and plead deal in 2008, Epstein couldn’t stop his sexual addiction for teenage girls, eventually becoming his downfall. Whether Jane-1’s testimony is enough to convict Ghislaine is anyone’s guess. Maxwell’s defense Atty. Bobbi Sternheim said Maxwell was a scapegoat because the government couldn’t prosecute Epstein after his Aug. 10, 2019 suicide in a New York City jail.
Jurors were treated today with lurid details of Ghilaine’s involvement in Jane-1, describing Maxwell as touching her breasts before turning her over to Epstein. “Once you’ve f—ed them, you can always f— them again because they’ve been grand-fathered in,” Jane-1 said Maxwell told her in 1994. She admitted to not knowing what she meant by “grand-fathered,” lending some credibility to her testimony. Maxwell’s attorney paints her as a victim of Epstein’s abuse, only innocently performing her duties expected by Epstein. Jane-1 recalled meeting Epstein and Maxwell in 1994 at age 14 at Interlocken Summer Arts Camp in Michigan, then invited to Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach. Jane-1 said she traveled on Epstein’s private jet to Palm Beach, New Mexico and New York. Jane-1 testified that Maxwell was present during several sexual encounters with Epstein, fondling her breasts.
Today’s testimony by Jane-1 is just the start of numerous witnesses essentially saying the same things about Epstein and Maxwell, that they were a pair in the sexual abuse of underage teenagers. Whether that shows that Maxwell was a pimp for Epstein isn’t certain, only that she also molested underage girls. Prosecutors will have to make a compelling case of how Maxwell recruited and arranged for underage minors for Epstein’s sexual perversion. Whether Maxwell got her kicks molesting underage minors doesn’t mean that she pimped for Epstein or arranged underage minors for Epstein’s sexual addiction. Prosecutors will have to present a lot more evidence that Jane Does’ personal testimony about Maxwell’s traumatic fondling or watch Epstein engage in a variety of perverted sex acts. Testimony of victims of sex abuse doesn’t mean that Maxwell actually solicited their sex acts.
