(131,241 posts)She was Epstein's procurer for years, not his victim. No doubt there was some weird psychodynamic going on there, but she did what she did without coercion and she did it to hundreds of young girls.

(82,369 posts)This woman was part of the rapes from start to finish.
She joined in with Epstein during the rapes.
After tricking the girls into trusting her.
She deserves life in prison.

(23,714 posts)Just as a reminder, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on five felony counts by a jury of her peers:
* One count of sex trafficking of a minor
* One count of transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity
* Three counts of conspiracy to commit choate felonies
Meanwhile, according to Wikipedia, "Maxwell faces a second criminal trial for perjury on two charges that she lied under oath during a civil suit in 2015 about Epstein's abuse of underage girls."
Ghislaine Maxwell is a child sex trafficker who was found guilty and sentenced to twenty years in prison.
I guess in MAGA world, that makes you a "victim."

(12,597 posts)To flip in Trump's direction, exonerate him of any sexual deviancy during the upcoming interviews for the promise of a presidential pardon.
When the Administration talks about transparency? This is what it entails:
Criming in broad daylight.
