Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly recruited and groomed young women into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. Here’s everything we know about her
Ghislaine Maxwell. Photo: Laura Cavanaugh/Getty Images After accused child-sex–trafficker Jeffrey Esptein was found dead by apparent suicide in his prison cell on Saturday morning, concerns arose whether the investigation into his alleged crimes would go on. On Sunday, the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York released a statement announcing it would continue to pursue justice for Epstein’s alleged victims, which could include turning the focus toward alleged co-conspirators.
She also, in 2012, founded the TerraMar Project, a nonprofit that advocates for protecting ocean waters. On August 9, evidence suggesting that Maxwell played a crucial role in the alleged child sex ring mounted when a federal appeals court unsealed what were long believed to be key documents: some 2,000 pages from a 2015 defamation case filed by a woman named Virginia Giuffre, who publicly claimed in a 2009 lawsuit against Epstein that Maxwell had recruited her into Epstein’s sex ring to be a “sex slave” when she was just 16.
