Prosecutors in Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday introduced a witness who was once the kind of minor teen on whom the Briton is alleged to have preyed.
Ghislaine Maxwell trial in New YorkWitness "Kate" is questioned by prosecutor Lara Pomerantz during the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the Jeffrey Epstein associate accused of sex trafficking, in a courtroom sketch in New York City, U.S., December 6, 2021...Second accuser says Ghislaine Maxwell asked her to find young women for Epstein.
At 14, “Carolyn” was vulnerable. She had an alcoholic mother and a 17-year-old boyfriend and had been raped and molested by her grandfather from the age of four. She needed money.
Prosecutors allege that Maxwell procured girls between 1994 and 2004 for the financier Jeffrey Epstein, who would sexually abuse them.
Epstein kept CDs with nude photos catalogued with police-style evidence tape.
Jeffrey Epstein gave Ghislaine Maxwell at least $30.7m (£23.7m) during the time they were associated, showed new bank records presented in court.
Transactions from the disgraced financier and his company accounts at JP Morgan bank showed Ms Maxwell had received over $30m between 1999 and 2007 in multiple bank accounts, according to the documents submitted in federal court on Monday during the second week of the high-profile sex trafficking trial involving the British socialite.
Out of the total money wired, the bank records showed a purchase of a helicopter worth $7.35m (£5.5m) by Ms Maxwell in June 2007, prosecutors said in court.
The purchase came three days after $7.4m was sent from Epstein’s account to one named “Air Ghislaine”, the documents revealed.
Another transfer by Epstein on 11 August 1999 showed a liquidation of $18.3m (£13.7m) by Financial Trust Company Inc - an account owned by Epstein. The same amount was then transferred to one belonging to Ms Maxwell.
GHISLAINE Maxwell and her paedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein were both Israeli spies who took pictures of powerful men having sex with underage girls to blackmail them, their alleged Mossad handler has sensationally claimed.
The pair allegedly ran a "honey-trap" operation where they would provide young girls to politicians in order to squeeze them for information for the Israelis.
I hear you. However this trial is very strange. folks are going to be on trial that appear not charged but not claiming the 5th? Parents implicated at every turn but not on the stand? To prove she is guilty others not on trial need to be proven guilty at some point.

Hopefully there will be many arrests. If this happens, it will be catastrophic in its way because I suspect it would involve a great many men and women in positions of public trust.
