Bank records put in evidence show that Epstein transferred $30.7 million to Maxwell when he went to jail. He died in a mysterious jail “suicide” before he made it to the courtroom.
Three witnesses were using first names, or alias to protect their privacy. They include Jane, a TV actress, Kate, a former British model, and Carolyn, now a mom in recovery from drug addiction. The fourth was Annie Farmer, who chose to use her real name since she has already made public allegations.
The witnesses detailed Maxwell’s role in recruiting and grooming them. And even described how she sometimes joined in the sexual abuse. Maxwell was accused of using charm, along with gifts and money to gain their trust. And she also took an interest in their teenage problems and assured them Epstein would use his wealth and connections to make their dreams come true.
At some point, Maxwell would talk the girls into giving Epstein massages that soon turned sexual. And she would assure the young girls that this was normal. Then the girls were paid off in $100 bills. Prosecutors claimed this was a “pyramid of abuse.”
