Ghislaine Maxwell

Ghislaine Noelle Marion Maxwell (born 25 December 1961) is a British former socialite. In 2021, she was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the deceased American financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment in the United States. Born in France and raised in Oxford, England, she attended Balliol College, Oxford in the 1980s and became a prominent member of London's social scene. She is a naturalised American citizen and retains both French and British citizenship. Maxwell worked for her father, Robert Maxwell, until his death in 1991; she then moved to New York City, where she continued living as a socialite and had developed a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Alongside Epstein, Maxwell built up a vast social network consisting of prominent elites. Documents released by the US Department of Justice reveal that she had maintained friendships with Naomi Campbell, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Bill Clinton and Kerry Kennedy. In July 2020, Maxwell was arrested by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and charged by the US federal government with the crimes of enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls, related to her association with Epstein as his recruiter. She was denied bail. She was convicted on five out of six counts, including one of sex trafficking of a minor, in December 2021.

• Ghislaine Maxwell | Sex Trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein, Conviction ...

  Ghislaine Maxwell (born December 25, 1961, Maisons-Laffitte, France) is a former British and American socialite who was convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking of underage girls for the American financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to prosecutors, Maxwell and her hired assistants enticed hundreds of girls to visit Epstein’s homes and nearby locations in New York City, Florida, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as Maxwell’s own residence in London. There they were groomed for sex acts with Epstein and other individuals. In 2019, two years before Maxwell’s conviction, Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of underage girls. While awaiting trial in a Manhattan jail cell, Epstein killed himself by hanging. Maxwell, who had already left the city, was arrested [...] In 1991 Robert Maxwell mysteriously disappeared from the Lady Ghislaine near the Canary Islands, and his nude body was later found floating in the ocean. An autopsy was inconclusive, but the unofficial conclusion was that he had died by suicide. Some investigators, meanwhile, speculated that Maxwell’s death had something to do with his alleged ties to Mossad, an Israeli intelligence agency. Some British officials also believed that Maxwell had acted as a triple agent for Mossad, the Soviet KGB, and MI6, the British foreign intelligence agency. Ghislaine herself believed that her father had been murdered, whereas her siblings thought he had suffered a heart attack or simply fallen off the yacht. [...] Maxwell, who had already left the city, was arrested in New Hampshire in 2020.

• Who is Ghislaine Maxwell? The story of her downfall - BBC

  Although she had been born into material abundance - her father was the publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell - by every account, Ghislaine Maxwell's earliest years were disfigured by emotional neglect. Betty, her mother, later admitted in her memoir that after Michael's accident the baby "was hardly given a glance" by her devastated parents. One day in 1965, according to Betty, three-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell stood in front of her and declared: "Mummy, I exist." Betty also believed the toddler developed anorexia. To compensate, from this point both parents went to the opposite extreme and began lavishing affection on their youngest child. [...] While her father's guilt was obvious to most people, Ghislaine Maxwell continued to defend him. "He wasn't a crook," she told Vanity Fair's Edward Klein in early 1992. "A thief to me is somebody who steals money. Do I think that my father did that? No. I don't know what he did. Obviously, something happened. Did he put it in his own pocket? Did he run off with the money? No. And that's my definition of a crook." While the rest of her siblings accepted Robert Maxwell's death was either an accident or suicide, his youngest daughter insisted he must have been murdered. Despite her protests, the fall-out from the Mirror pension scandal made the UK a less than welcoming place for her. In November 1992 it was reported that she had bought a $4,000 (£3,019) one-way Concorde ticket to New York. [...] In 2005, Harry Mount was feeling lonely in Manhattan. Aged 33, he'd just been appointed as the Daily Telegraph's New York correspondent but, as yet, knew few people in the city. When a friend asked him if he wanted to tag along with him to a party at Ghislaine Maxwell's house, Mount jumped at the chance. She was, after all, well known as a prominent figure in Manhattan society who'd been photographed with Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and even Pope John Paul II. Among the great and the good of US society, her cut-glass British accent and friendship with Prince Andrew marked her out as an exotic, alluring figure.
