Could New York or other states charge and prosecute Maxwell for crimes in their states?

If possible and she is convicted in state courts to prevent the coming trump pardon from mattering...

1. It's unclear

What crimes did she commit where? I'm not sure if there are specific allegations against her that happened in New York. I assume so but I'm not sure what exactly what the specific accusations are. I believe the accounts we have from victims mostly happened in Florida and the Virgin Islands. Also there would be the question of whether the statutes of limitations have expired.

3. There are definitely specific allegations against her in New York. She'd

go out when local schools let out, exclaiming, "I have to get the nubiles," and lure children back to Epstein so he could molest them. And so SHE could molest them too. There are MANY children who are now women who have spoken about their experience of this publicly.

2. Even if states could prosecute, I'm thinking that too much time has elapsed

since the initial crime(s). Statute of Limitations issue.

4. Why there are statutes of limitations on sex crimes against children is beyond me. It's shameful.

5. The Statute of Limitations in New York for child victims

is when the victim reaches age 55. A few other states have longer periods, as well, including Florida. If AG James thinks this is a viable route, I hope she goes for it.

6. Didn't know that. Thanks.
