For years, Ghislaine Maxwell has been a central but silent figure in the scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein’s history of abusing teenage girls.
On Thursday, however, Ms. Maxwell offered her fullest response yet to the swirl of claims surrounding Mr. Epstein as a four-year-old deposition was released. In it, she put up a wall of evasions and denials.
Over and over again in the 418-page deposition, Ms. Maxwell, 58, rejected accusations of wrongdoing. She denied that she had recruited minors to give Mr. Epstein s***** massages. She denied that she knew he was abusing girls and young women. She denied having engaged in s***** acts herself with underage people.
“I can’t think of anything I have done that is illegal,” she said.
At one point, Ms. Maxwell was asked more than a dozen times if she believed that Mr. Epstein had abused any minors — and each time she failed to answer. At another point, she parried inquiries about a laundry basket of s** toys, telling the lawyer asking questions, “I need you to define a s** toy.”
Eventually, Ms. Maxwell became so frustrated that she suddenly erupted into a “physical outburst” and knocked the court reporter’s computer off the conference room table, according to a separate document released with her deposition. She later apologized for her behavior, the deposition said.

Me: So how much were “these under aged girls” paid to do whatever they did?
If she were a man, it would be enough that a female had identified her as a P***, to get convicted, irrespective of the truth of the matter, because there were no witnesses when she said offense occurred and if the perpetrator refuses to admit ant wrongdoing, the guys get punished with heavy convictions, anyway.
Be interesting to see if Ms. Maxwell gets off scot free or not!!
