Lawyers for several women suing Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime friend Ghislaine Maxwell contend that the 58-year-old British socialite has effectively vanished.
The Oxford-educated daughter of Robert Maxwell, the larger than life publishing baron whose rags-to-riches story captivated England, she lived an extravagant life among the British elite until her father's business empire collapsed in the wake of his death. She fled to New York looking for a fresh start and was soon seen in the company of the mysterious multimillionaire Epstein.
One of them, Jennifer Araoz, 32, who sued Maxwell and Epstein's estate in August, claims that she was recruited in New York as a 14-year-old into Epstein's"scheme of exploitation and abuse" and is seeking to hold Maxwell responsible for her alleged role as the"second in command of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking enterprise.”
“We have made repeated efforts to locate Ms. Maxwell, including engaging surveillance services," Bill Kaiser, an attorney for Araoz, told ABC News. "We have thus far been unable to find her for the purposes of serving her with the complaint.” "Maxwell should not be permitted to dodge Ms. Farmer’s allegations of serious wrongdoing against her," wrote Farmer's attorney, Joshua Schiller of Boies, Schiller, Flexner, LLP.
Virginia Giuffre, second left, and Annie Farmer, right, arrive to federal court in New york, Aug. 27, 2019. Attorneys for the anonymous plaintiff declined to comment, but there is no indication so far in the court record that they have located Maxwell.
