Ghislaine Maxwell fights to keep 'nude photos and sexualised videos' secret ahead of trial
Source: The Telegraph via Yahoo News
Ghislaine Maxwell is trying to prevent nude photographs and sexualised video evidence from being unsealed ahead of her trial, according to a new court appeal. Ms Maxwells attorneys details the highly confidential material in a proposed protective order filed at a Manhattan court on Monday, arguing it should be kept out of public view. The highly confidential information contains nude, partially-nude, or otherwise sexualised images, videos, or other depictions of individuals, which Ms Maxwell does not wish to be disseminated, transmitted, or otherwise copies, it reads.
The British socialite, 58, is being held in Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York, without bail while awaiting trial for grooming underage girls for associate Jeffrey Epsteins sexual abuse. She has pleaded not guilty to all six charges on the indictment. It is thought the sensitive material relates to Ms Maxwell, but it is not known who else might feature. When the FBI raided Epsteins Manhattan mansion last year investigators found a stash of nude photographs of underage girls. A black book of clients was also discovered, which contained the names of a number of high-profile figures.

Who knows where this will go? Sure would like to see that black book, even though the whole situation is disgusting.

(32,610 posts)They were children from mostly poor families, and they were offered money, clothes, and other goodies as long as they played nicely. Most of these girls didn't even know what was happening to them. Other than one or two exceptions, the girls weren't forced to participate, as the word "rape" might suggest.
I've read the allegations and interview by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, and she says that she and the other girls were paid well and could leave if they wanted to. They were warned not to talk, not to tell their parents etc. They were also rewarded if they recruited other underage girls.
After reading the allegations of Ms. Giuffre it made me wonder how Epstein and Maxwell thought they could get away with this blatant illegal activity right in the Palm Beach neighborhood. But apparently they hopped around to 4 or 5 different lavish resort-type homes (some outside the US) and they never stayed anywhere for very long. For the most part the local authorities never got wind of what Epstein was doing. Or if they did, he was already gone.

(1,789 posts)Perhaps they were not raped in the sense that they were forcibly held down, but what appears to have happened is child abuse in slow motion. The girls were manipulated into a twisted version of "consent" by the time the activity took place. The word "rape" applies in statute simply due to their ages.

It's a what if kind of thing. What if she has video of mushroom45 raping not only that woman who accused him of raping her on that plane but also video of dalliance with czarina, like maybe she was shopped around for a spell and daddy agreed to make sure she was happy and rich so she wouldn't tell... which might include making her president of the country some day. And maybe other sordid things.

Republicons have spent more time considering and engaging with the claims that the Podestas kept children to eat.

(2,828 posts)She's being prosecuted for helping to facilitate the procurement of underage girls for Epstein and his fellow rapists to have their way with and she wants special considerations? I'm so fucking sick of these over-privileged lowlifes being able to hide their activities because it might cause some rich asshole some discomfort, not to mention serious legal problems. They should all be identified and made known to the public. I don't give a shit who they are. If she is being prosecuted why do all the other participants get a free pass?

Evidently Epstein did some legitimate charity work, possibly to groom targets; so the presence of names in the book is not necessarily incriminating. That said, Donald Trump is on page 80.

(21,733 posts)I'd like to see Epstein's black book of clients. Since his legal woes are over, why aren't they released?
Not holding my breath, though.
I'm still waiting for a list of the DC Madam's clients.

That's her only hope.
