A judge in New York has ordered that a huge amount of personal documents belonging to British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell should be made public within the next week. The documents may shed light on the Jeffrey Epstein child-sex ring and reveal some of the many famous and powerful faces believed to be involved.
Ghislaine Maxwell is currently on remand in prison awaiting trial for her part in the Epstein conspiracy, where it is accused that she was the main organiser, seeking out and manipulating young girls to become involved with the billionaire. She is also accused of personally taking part in the sexual assaults.
Epstein is believed to have killed himself last year while awaiting trial, though many claim he was murdered in order to cover up the rich and powerful that he may have implicated. Fears have also been raised for Maxwell's life as it is suggested that she may make a plea deal with prosecutors and name those involved with the ring in order to get herself a lesser sentence.
The court in New York will release 80 documents said to cover many hundreds of pages. They are said to involve details of Epstein's travels, details of his sex-life, and a 418 page deposition that Maxwell gave to attorneys, which outlines a huge amount of the criminality. Maxwell is said to be attempting to appeal the decision and keep the documents under wraps.
Among those, it has been rumoured that Prince Andrew, the Clintons and Donald Trump may be implicated, though none of these are verified and may indeed by fabrications. In a Netflix series documenting the Epstein case called 'Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich", victims state that Maxwell recruited them to give massages to Epstein, and that they were then molested by both Maxwell and Epstein. Maxwell then used the girls to recruit even more girls which resulted in a pyramid scheme of sexual abuse over decades.
One victim has even spoken out saying that she was threatened by Maxwell, who claimed to have links to the Rothschild family and Israeli Secret Service agents, and that she could be killed if she attempted to speak out. None of these accusations have been substantiated, nor is it clear if Maxwell really had these links or was lying in order to intimidate witnesses.
On Tuesday President Trump said when he was questioned about the Maxwell case that he had met her numerous times over the years, especially when he lived in Palm Beach, he said:
"I just wish her well."
