1
00:00:04,873 --> 00:00:08,877
[Pivar] The story is- is more
bizarre than- than people begin
to realize.

2
00:00:09,008 --> 00:00:13,404
[Oxenberg]
She says, "Jeffrey has to have
three orgasms a day,

3
00:00:13,534 --> 00:00:17,930
and I help him 'cause I cannot
keep up with his libido."

4
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:21,151
[Farmer]
Ghislaine would go and get
people out of Central Park.

5
00:00:21,281 --> 00:00:24,458
And I saw her give
her phone number to a girl,

6
00:00:24,589 --> 00:00:26,721
and then that child showed up.

7
00:00:26,852 --> 00:00:29,898
Miss Maxwell did explain that
there would be a lot of women
around.

8
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:32,466
[Miles]
She said, "You'll see lots
of bees around the honey pot,

9
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:34,773
but I'm the queen bee,
always remember that."

10
00:00:34,903 --> 00:00:38,907
Miss Maxwell is the reason
that I was abused.

11
00:00:39,038 --> 00:00:41,345
She led me into that situation.

12
00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:44,087
[Helm]
Everybody wants
to talk about him,

13
00:00:44,217 --> 00:00:46,480
and it's not focused
on Ghislaine.

14
00:00:46,611 --> 00:00:51,442
She facilitated it.
She made the network happen.

15
00:00:56,055 --> 00:00:59,928
I love the smell
of the ocean spray.

16
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:02,061
The sound of the waves.

17
00:01:02,192 --> 00:01:05,412
The cry of the sea birds.

18
00:01:05,543 --> 00:01:08,154
The sunsets, the sunrises.

19
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:11,418
I love the ocean.

20
00:01:16,293 --> 00:01:18,382
[reporter]
In New York,
stunning testimony today

21
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:21,036
from an alleged victim
in the sex trafficking trial

22
00:01:21,124 --> 00:01:24,169
of Jeffry Epstein's companion
Ghislaine Maxwell.

23
00:01:24,257 --> 00:01:26,303
[reporter 2]
The first of Ghislaine
Maxwell's four accusers,

24
00:01:26,389 --> 00:01:29,001
testifying under
the pseudonym Jane,

25
00:01:29,132 --> 00:01:30,785
graphically described
the first time

26
00:01:30,916 --> 00:01:33,875
Jeffrey Epstein
sexually abused her.

27
00:01:34,006 --> 00:01:36,312
Some of the details
are absolutely harrowing.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,011
Maxwell, she says,
fondled her breasts.

29
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:43,276
Jeffrey Epstein sexually
assaulted her with sex toys

30
00:01:43,407 --> 00:01:45,887
when she was 14 years old.

31
00:01:46,018 --> 00:01:48,760
It's a trial a quarter
century in the making.

32
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:50,675
And of course since that time,

33
00:01:50,805 --> 00:01:53,765
the victims have been looking
for a reckoning.

34
00:01:53,895 --> 00:01:55,853
[Sigrid McCawley]
I've been working
with the survivors

35
00:01:55,984 --> 00:01:57,986
of Jeffrey Epstein
and Ghislaine Maxwell

36
00:01:58,117 --> 00:02:01,033
for about seven years now.

37
00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:05,255
I think for any of the women
who are being called to testify,

38
00:02:05,385 --> 00:02:08,127
there's a lot of anxiety
with having to face your abuser

39
00:02:08,257 --> 00:02:10,085
in a court of law.

40
00:02:10,173 --> 00:02:11,826
There will be a lot of relief
in this as well,

41
00:02:11,957 --> 00:02:13,828
because they'll have
the opportunity

42
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:16,875
to talk to the jurors
about what happened to them.

43
00:02:17,005 --> 00:02:19,791
There's been
a lot of speculation

44
00:02:19,921 --> 00:02:23,360
about why it took so long for
Maxwell to be held accountable.

45
00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:26,014
That involves
power and privilege

46
00:02:26,145 --> 00:02:29,714
in a way that was unique
to this circumstance.

47
00:02:30,976 --> 00:02:33,457
Well, there's so many of us
that have walked around

48
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:37,896
feeling like we don't have the
right to speak up for ourselves.

49
00:02:38,026 --> 00:02:40,072
I definitely need to be here
to show her

50
00:02:40,203 --> 00:02:44,032
that everything
that she's taken from me,

51
00:02:44,163 --> 00:02:45,685
I'm taking it all back.

52
00:02:47,732 --> 00:02:49,908
It has to be the turning point,

53
00:02:50,038 --> 00:02:53,738
that society as a whole
puts that stake in the ground,

54
00:02:53,868 --> 00:02:55,609
draws that line and says

55
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:58,699
you cannot get away
with these things

56
00:02:58,830 --> 00:03:01,354
just because of who you are
and how much money you have.

57
00:03:01,485 --> 00:03:04,096
[dramatic music]

58

[Spencer Kuvin]
I'm an attorney practicing
in West Palm Beach, Florida.

62
00:03:53,101 --> 00:03:55,582
I represented one of the first
young victims to come forward

63
00:03:55,713 --> 00:03:58,933
here in Palm Beach County
against Mr. Epstein.

64
00:03:59,064 --> 00:04:02,241
Through that process
we began to understand

65
00:04:02,372 --> 00:04:07,681
the full breadth of Mr.
Epstein's sexual conspiracy,

66
00:04:07,812 --> 00:04:10,293
and the organization
which involved Maxwell,

67
00:04:10,423 --> 00:04:11,816
as well as many
of the other young girls

68
00:04:11,946 --> 00:04:13,774
that she had trained.

69
00:04:40,975 --> 00:04:44,936
These were young girls, some of
them as young as 14 years old,

70
00:04:45,066 --> 00:04:47,678
who did not have the wherewithal
to understand

71
00:04:47,765 --> 00:04:50,811
what they were
getting themselves into.

72
00:04:50,942 --> 00:04:52,596
[police officer]
The premises desired to be
searched

73
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:54,772
is a two-story,
single-family residence,

74
00:04:54,902 --> 00:04:57,209
occupied or under the control
of Jeffrey Epstein,

75
00:04:57,340 --> 00:05:00,212
white male,
date of birth 1.20.53.

76
00:05:00,343 --> 00:05:02,301
[Spencer Kuvin]
The first young lady
that I represented

77
00:05:02,388 --> 00:05:04,651
never specifically
mentioned Maxwell.

78
00:05:04,782 --> 00:05:06,479
But there was
this older, British,

79
00:05:06,566 --> 00:05:08,786
distinguished lady
behind the scenes.

80
00:05:08,916 --> 00:05:11,963
They didn't know who she was.
She was answering the door.

81
00:05:12,093 --> 00:05:14,226
She was escorting
people through.

82
00:05:14,313 --> 00:05:16,489
She was telling them, "Oh, go
up there. Go into that room,"

83
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:18,709
or "Go into the kitchen."

84
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,712
When my clients visited,
they would frequently see

85
00:05:21,842 --> 00:05:25,063
pictures of Ghislaine Maxwell
with very famous individuals,

86
00:05:25,193 --> 00:05:29,154
and it was very clear she was
very wealthy and powerful.

87
00:05:29,284 --> 00:05:32,505
But at the beginning we weren't
really focused on her,

88
00:05:32,636 --> 00:05:36,466
so we never learned the full
breadth of her part in this

89
00:05:36,553 --> 00:05:38,163
until much later on.

90
00:05:38,293 --> 00:05:40,121
we were focused on Epstein.

91
00:05:40,252 --> 00:05:42,428
Later during the investigation,

92
00:05:42,559 --> 00:05:44,952
when interviewing
and conducting the deposition,

93
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:48,782
the name Maxwell
would come up repeatedly.

94
00:05:48,913 --> 00:05:50,741
Ghislaine Maxwell was
a lot more than just someone

95
00:05:50,871 --> 00:05:52,960
who stayed in a room
at the Palm Beach mansion.

96
00:05:53,091 --> 00:05:56,137
She was directing the activities
that were going on there.

97
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:58,836
What we came to learn is that

98
00:05:58,966 --> 00:06:01,708
by the time
of this investigation,

99
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,406
Maxwell had stepped away

100
00:06:03,493 --> 00:06:05,712
from the direct recruitment
of young girls.

101
00:06:05,843 --> 00:06:09,629
She had trained
primary recruiters.

102
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,547
Those primary recruiters then
would train local recruiters

103
00:06:14,678 --> 00:06:16,723
to get girls
to come over to the house.

104
00:06:18,159 --> 00:06:19,683
This sexual pyramid scheme

105
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:23,426
really had Ghislaine Maxwell
at the top.

106
00:06:23,556 --> 00:06:25,688
We as attorneys
wanted to talk to her.

107
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:27,952
We knew that she was jet-setting
across the world.

108
00:06:28,082 --> 00:06:29,562
We knew that she could fly
to France

109
00:06:29,693 --> 00:06:32,826
or Virgin Islands
at any moment.

110
00:06:32,957 --> 00:06:34,915
We had heard
that she was at some kind

111
00:06:35,046 --> 00:06:38,745
of a private benefit event
up in New York at one point,

112
00:06:38,876 --> 00:06:42,270
so we had hired process servers
to go and try and serve her.

113
00:06:42,401 --> 00:06:44,708
Unfortunately,
that ended up in a failure.

114
00:06:44,837 --> 00:06:46,797
They couldn't get in
and get her served.

115
00:06:46,927 --> 00:06:49,495
So we were never able to issue
a subpoena to her at the time,

116
00:06:49,582 --> 00:06:52,977
because she had essentially
disappeared in the wind.

117
00:07:07,382 --> 00:07:09,646
[Cathy]
I went down to tidy his room,

118
00:07:09,776 --> 00:07:13,519
and there on his dresser
was the arrest warrant.

119
00:07:13,606 --> 00:07:15,956
I actually didn't read
what the thing was

120
00:07:16,043 --> 00:07:18,611
until he actually told us
up in the kitchen.

121
00:07:18,742 --> 00:07:20,308
I think I was
too frightened to snoop.

122
00:07:20,438 --> 00:07:23,573
When he spoke to us
on that morning,

123
00:07:23,703 --> 00:07:27,620
he said it was
for solicitation of a minor

124
00:07:27,751 --> 00:07:29,274
for prostitution, huh?

125
00:07:29,404 --> 00:07:30,710
-Something like that.
-Something like that.

126
00:07:30,841 --> 00:07:32,277
In all honesty, I was shocked.

127
00:07:32,407 --> 00:07:34,671
-We were shocked.
-We were both shocked.

128
00:07:34,801 --> 00:07:36,150
The way it was explained to us
was basically

129
00:07:36,236 --> 00:07:38,152
a "slap on the wrist" fine,

130
00:07:38,283 --> 00:07:40,328
like a traffic fine
that they're charging him with,

131
00:07:40,415 --> 00:07:42,200
well, it seemed like it.

132
00:07:42,330 --> 00:07:44,637
So I said, "Well, just pay the
fine and get over and done."

133
00:07:44,768 --> 00:07:46,770
"Get it out of the news.
Get everything sorted."

134
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,468
At that point in the
relationship between the two of
them,

135
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:52,297
I think it was
pretty antagonistic at points.

136
00:07:52,427 --> 00:07:55,213
He actually told us...

137
00:07:55,343 --> 00:07:58,172
that, um... she'd gone.

138
00:07:58,303 --> 00:08:00,044
Yeah, one day she's...

139
00:08:00,174 --> 00:08:02,916
One day, he walked into the
kitchen and he said, "It's
over."

140
00:08:03,047 --> 00:08:05,832
I actually felt quite sorry
for him at the time.

141
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:08,269
[Miles]
It was a bit... traumatic.

142
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,491
Traumatic. We had
a couple of fighting matches.

143
00:08:12,622 --> 00:08:14,319
I wouldn't go too deep
into that.

144
00:08:14,449 --> 00:08:18,236
No, I know,
which is understandable, um...

145
00:08:18,366 --> 00:08:23,241
So you could see
this relationship was moving

146
00:08:23,371 --> 00:08:25,373
in a different direction, yeah.

147
00:08:33,991 --> 00:08:38,735
Miss Maxwell was not around,
um, for... for quite a while.

148
00:08:38,865 --> 00:08:40,388
She got involved with a man
that does computers,

149
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:42,521
as far as I remember.

150
00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:45,132
[Cathy] She was completely
just out of the whole...

151
00:08:45,263 --> 00:08:47,134
-[Miles] Out of the loop.
-Out of the loop.

152
00:08:47,265 --> 00:08:49,354
So you could see she'd started
a new life for herself,

153
00:08:49,484 --> 00:08:52,792
which I thought
was good for her, you know.

154
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:58,058
The relationship uh,
between Epstein and Maxwell,

155
00:08:58,189 --> 00:09:01,714
who was dominant,
who was subservient,

156
00:09:01,801 --> 00:09:05,588
how many of the strategies
and tactics

157
00:09:05,718 --> 00:09:09,679
for recruiting and grooming
uh, came from Maxwell,

158
00:09:09,809 --> 00:09:11,550
and how much came from Epstein,

159
00:09:11,681 --> 00:09:14,814
uh, we'll never
probably know completely.

160
00:09:14,945 --> 00:09:19,514
But what we do know is that
Maxwell bears responsibility

161
00:09:19,645 --> 00:09:24,041
not only
for the young women and girls

162
00:09:24,171 --> 00:09:26,130
who she personally recruited,

163
00:09:26,217 --> 00:09:30,221
but also for her role
in the overall enterprise,

164
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:33,659
where she would recruit somebody
to recruit somebody else,

165
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:37,315
to recruit somebody else,
to recruit somebody else.

166
00:09:37,444 --> 00:09:40,013
I think that one
of the cruelest things

167
00:09:40,144 --> 00:09:42,625
that Epstein and Maxwell did

168
00:09:42,712 --> 00:09:46,803
is to induce, coerce,
these young girls

169
00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:50,589
to bring in other young girls.

170
00:09:50,676 --> 00:09:52,417
[Phillips]
It has been
a really big journey for me

171
00:09:52,547 --> 00:09:54,288
to actually get to that point

172
00:09:54,375 --> 00:09:55,986
where I'm not
in denial anymore,

173
00:09:56,116 --> 00:09:59,511
and I can say,
"Yeah, I was abused too."

174
00:09:59,642 --> 00:10:03,210
I was already in the islands
next to him, in St. John's,

175
00:10:03,297 --> 00:10:05,430
and I just was with a friend,

176
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,651
and she asked me
to go with her to the island.

177
00:10:08,738 --> 00:10:11,436
So I didn't know
about this whole private island

178
00:10:11,566 --> 00:10:13,612
and, like,
who Jeffrey Epstein was.

179
00:10:13,743 --> 00:10:15,962
I didn't know anything
when I went with her that day.

180
00:10:16,049 --> 00:10:18,225
I had only met Jeffrey
pretty briefly

181
00:10:18,312 --> 00:10:20,967
before someone
was sent to our room

182
00:10:21,098 --> 00:10:24,536
to, uh, bring us there
for a massage.

183
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:27,017
And so I just thought,
OK, well, it's kind of weird,

184
00:10:27,147 --> 00:10:29,149
but I trust the girl
that brought me.

185
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,412
So, um, yeah,
we went to his room,

186
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:34,677
and I realized at the time that
the girl that brought me there,

187
00:10:34,807 --> 00:10:35,939
she had done this before,

188
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:37,288
so she was very comfortable,

189
00:10:37,418 --> 00:10:38,724
and she was massaging him,

190
00:10:38,855 --> 00:10:40,900
and I kind of
just took her lead.

191
00:10:41,031 --> 00:10:45,078
And then, um...

192
00:10:45,209 --> 00:10:48,038
pretty quickly afterwards,
you know,

193
00:10:48,125 --> 00:10:51,737
is when Jeffrey, um,

194
00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:53,739
started touching me
inappropriately,

195
00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:58,657
and that's, like,
when the abuse happened, um...

196
00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:01,225
I was really confused
about what happened.

197
00:11:01,355 --> 00:11:02,835
I just, like, realized

198
00:11:02,966 --> 00:11:04,663
maybe that's why
she brought me there,

199
00:11:04,794 --> 00:11:06,926
was kind of to lure me to him,

200
00:11:07,057 --> 00:11:10,364
and she was the one who got paid
for bringing me.

201
00:11:10,495 --> 00:11:14,107
She made it seem like
it was like no big deal at all.

202
00:11:14,238 --> 00:11:16,675
It was hard for me to deal with
it for many years after that.

203
00:11:16,806 --> 00:11:20,331
And then hearing so many other
women had the exact same story

204
00:11:20,461 --> 00:11:22,855
of another young person,
another young woman,

205
00:11:22,986 --> 00:11:27,033
bringing them to Jeffrey
for a massage,

206
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,296
but then getting
sexually abused.

207
00:11:29,427 --> 00:11:31,646
And every time I hear it,
I'm just like thinking,

208
00:11:31,777 --> 00:11:34,737
"That was me, that was me."

209
00:11:36,869 --> 00:11:40,003
I'm headed
to the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

210
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:42,832
This is just like
another step for me

211
00:11:42,962 --> 00:11:46,618
just to realize
and kind of move on and heal.

212
00:11:54,147 --> 00:11:56,671
This whole nightmare
never would have happened

213
00:11:56,802 --> 00:11:58,717
if it wasn't for Ghislaine.

214
00:11:58,848 --> 00:12:02,155
The woman who brought me
to Jeffrey's island

215
00:12:02,286 --> 00:12:04,592
was recruited by her.

216
00:12:04,723 --> 00:12:08,292
There were so many people
that she brought

217
00:12:08,422 --> 00:12:11,686
that brought others,
that brought others,

218
00:12:11,817 --> 00:12:16,430
so it was just
all these, like, layers.

219
00:12:16,561 --> 00:12:18,781
It's scary that I fit
into that story somehow.

220
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:23,829
[Boies]
That's the way
pyramid schemes work.

221
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,138
That's the way enterprises
of this scope and scale work.

222
00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:32,533
That was part of the power,

223
00:12:32,664 --> 00:12:37,364
part of the reason
why it was able to recruit

224
00:12:37,495 --> 00:12:41,194
not just
a handful of young girls,

225
00:12:41,325 --> 00:12:44,328
but dozens,
hundreds of young girls.

226
00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:50,638
There was no one else
in the pyramid

227
00:12:50,725 --> 00:12:52,858
who had her position.

228
00:12:52,989 --> 00:12:57,471
No one else
who had her wealth, her status.

229
00:12:57,602 --> 00:13:00,997
No one else did Epstein
give $30 million to.

230
00:13:01,127 --> 00:13:06,219
So if you put Epstein
at the top of the pyramid,

231
00:13:06,350 --> 00:13:10,049
Maxwell's right next to him.

232
00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:12,095
And the only question is,

233
00:13:12,225 --> 00:13:16,099
is she right next to him
at the same level,

234
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:17,927
or is she right next to him

235
00:13:18,057 --> 00:13:21,452
at the level
immediately below him?

236
00:13:21,582 --> 00:13:24,672
[reporter]
Jeffrey Epstein's
personal 727 aircraft

237
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:28,328
arrived at PBIA
from Newark at 5 p.m.

238
00:13:28,459 --> 00:13:30,635
The investor, traveling
with a small entourage,

239
00:13:30,765 --> 00:13:32,855
was met at the private
Galaxy Aviation.

240
00:13:40,558 --> 00:13:43,300
Jeffrey Epstein went to jail
just before ten this morning.

241
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:45,302
He pleaded guilty in open court.

242
00:13:45,389 --> 00:13:47,043
He agreed to serve
a total of 18 months

243
00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:48,914
in a Palm Beach
detention facility,

244
00:13:49,001 --> 00:13:51,830
12 for felony solicitation
of prostitutes,

245
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:55,921
and an additional six
for procuring persons under 18
for prostitution.

246
00:13:56,052 --> 00:13:59,098
The guilty plea and deal
end a years-long process

247
00:13:59,229 --> 00:14:02,406
that could have sent Epstein
to jail for 15 years.

248
00:14:02,536 --> 00:14:04,887
I couldn't believe that
he got the sweetheart deal.

249
00:14:05,017 --> 00:14:06,584
The federal government
interviewed

250
00:14:06,714 --> 00:14:08,455
at least 40 young girls,

251
00:14:08,542 --> 00:14:10,980
but, for some reason,
the government decided

252
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:13,460
that they were gonna use
one case

253
00:14:13,591 --> 00:14:15,854
as the case
that they would convict him of.

254
00:14:15,985 --> 00:14:17,073
They're letting him out
during the day

255
00:14:17,203 --> 00:14:18,683
to walk around and have lunch,

256
00:14:18,813 --> 00:14:20,772
and have massages at his office.

257
00:14:20,903 --> 00:14:22,513
He got out after only one year.

258
00:14:22,643 --> 00:14:24,907
[reporter]
A few steps, a smile,

259
00:14:25,037 --> 00:14:27,431
and a wave
to the deputy at the door.

260
00:14:27,561 --> 00:14:29,781
We watched Jeffrey Epstein
walk out of jail,

261
00:14:29,912 --> 00:14:32,305
but only his attorneys
heard from him.

262
00:14:32,392 --> 00:14:34,133
He's very happy
that his jail sentence is over

263
00:14:34,264 --> 00:14:36,962
and uh, he can begin
a new chapter in his life.

264
00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:39,617
[Kuvin]
They entered into what's called

265
00:14:39,747 --> 00:14:41,706
a non-prosecution agreement.

266
00:14:41,836 --> 00:14:44,100
That prevented
any further prosecution

267
00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:45,928
of not just Jeffrey Epstein,

268
00:14:46,058 --> 00:14:48,365
but also any others

269
00:14:48,495 --> 00:14:50,280
who may have been involved.

270
00:14:52,412 --> 00:14:55,024
Maxwell is not mentioned,

271
00:14:55,111 --> 00:14:58,114
and we have to assume
that that was intentional.

272
00:14:58,244 --> 00:15:01,160
Jeffery probably told her,
"Just disappear,

273
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:03,728
go away,
stay away from all of this,

274
00:15:03,858 --> 00:15:07,906
and don't worry about it,
I'll take care of it."

275
00:15:08,037 --> 00:15:12,650
[Boies]
The non-prosecution agreement
was a corrupt agreement,

276
00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:15,914
and it should never have let

277
00:15:16,045 --> 00:15:18,612
people like Maxwell walk.

278
00:15:18,743 --> 00:15:20,832
I think it led

279
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:25,924
to a sense of invulnerability,

280
00:15:26,055 --> 00:15:28,405
uh, it- it led to a sense of
confidence,

281
00:15:28,535 --> 00:15:32,365
that having beat that,
she was free.

282
00:15:43,463 --> 00:15:47,076
[ticking]

283
00:15:50,557 --> 00:15:53,430
If the United Nations create

284
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,736
a stand-alone
ocean development goal,

285
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:57,521
that is a needle mover.

286
00:15:57,608 --> 00:16:00,698
That will make new laws,
new governance,

287
00:16:00,828 --> 00:16:03,048
and a new way
at looking at the ocean,

288
00:16:03,179 --> 00:16:05,137
and that is what
will change the world.

289
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:06,008
Thank you.

290
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:18,281
So how does it... does it
all look? Is my hair good?

291
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:20,979
Do I...? It's all good?
[laughs]

292
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:23,721
[woman]
All right, we're rolling.

293
00:16:23,851 --> 00:16:26,245
[woman 2] Ghislaine,
you've been a philanthropist
your whole career.

294
00:16:26,376 --> 00:16:29,031
Tell us about your idea
and how global citizens

295
00:16:29,161 --> 00:16:31,250
can save our common oceans.

296
00:16:31,381 --> 00:16:33,470
The ocean is absolutely vital

297
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,081
to all planetary life systems.

298
00:16:36,212 --> 00:16:38,388
I call it the blue heart
of the planet.

299
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:48,572
I met Ghislaine at a party
at the Four Seasons restaurant.

300
00:16:48,702 --> 00:16:51,444
There was a lot
of major celebrities there,

301
00:16:51,575 --> 00:16:53,751
a lot of air kissing going on.

302
00:16:53,881 --> 00:16:55,883
She knew a lot of people there.

303
00:16:56,013 --> 00:16:58,451
I thought
she was utterly charming.

304
00:16:58,582 --> 00:17:01,063
I had no clue, um,

305
00:17:01,193 --> 00:17:03,326
that she was involved
in any of these things.

306
00:17:03,455 --> 00:17:05,328
The thing
that she talked about the most

307
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:07,460
was, of course, the ocean.

308
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:11,943
I mean, in many ways,
the ocean became like her baby.

309
00:17:12,074 --> 00:17:15,860
Your excellencies, presidents,
lords, ladies and gentlemen,

310
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:18,254
um, I just would like
to thank you so much,

311
00:17:18,384 --> 00:17:20,343
and it's such a honor
to be here.

312
00:17:20,473 --> 00:17:22,562
Who doesn't wanna have
a clean ocean?

313
00:17:22,693 --> 00:17:25,478
I mean, it's, you know,
it's kind of a worthy project.

314
00:17:25,609 --> 00:17:27,132
[Ghislaine] All you're signing
is that you want the ocean

315
00:17:27,263 --> 00:17:28,960
to be sustainably managed.

316
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:31,441
And that is the message
we're bringing here. Thank you.

317
00:17:31,571 --> 00:17:32,355
[man] Thank you.

318
00:17:35,445 --> 00:17:38,883
At the end of the night,
the party's breaking up,

319
00:17:39,013 --> 00:17:42,278
and she asked me,
"Can you give me a lift home?"

320
00:17:42,365 --> 00:17:44,280
I drove her home
and dropped her off

321
00:17:44,410 --> 00:17:46,108
in front of her townhouse.

322
00:17:46,238 --> 00:17:49,459
And then she made
this astonishing offer.

323
00:17:49,589 --> 00:17:53,898
She says to me, uh,
"If you come in and fuck me,

324
00:17:54,028 --> 00:17:56,553
I will tell you
the secrets of my father."

325
00:17:57,771 --> 00:18:00,557
I was completely speechless,

326
00:18:00,644 --> 00:18:02,950
and I came up
with a very lame excuse

327
00:18:03,081 --> 00:18:05,910
that I needed to go home
and walk the dog.

328
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,392
And she knew
it was a kind of a BS excuse,

329
00:18:09,479 --> 00:18:12,395
but she gave me a kiss
on the cheek and she said,

330
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:14,484
uh, you know,
"Hope to see you soon."

331
00:18:14,614 --> 00:18:16,834
It's kind of like, by day,

332
00:18:16,964 --> 00:18:19,793
she's very, very involved

333
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,058
in trying to save the oceans
uh, and- and fix the world,

334
00:18:24,189 --> 00:18:28,367
but by night, it's like turning
into Dracula or something.

335
00:18:28,498 --> 00:18:30,456
It was like a switch.

336
00:18:32,284 --> 00:18:35,766
[Celhia de Lavarene]
I just came back from uh, Haiti,

337
00:18:35,896 --> 00:18:40,074
where children
are trafficked for sex.

338
00:18:40,205 --> 00:18:44,209
And I wanted to open
uh, a safe uh, haven,

339
00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:47,647
if we can say,
to help those kids.

340
00:18:47,778 --> 00:18:52,261
And my friend decided to have
a fundraising event for that.

341
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:55,742
I hear that uh,
Ghislaine Maxwell came.

342
00:18:55,873 --> 00:18:58,745
I don't know
why she was in the picture.

343
00:18:58,832 --> 00:19:01,835
I didn't even know who she was.

344
00:19:01,966 --> 00:19:05,535
I guess it's because
the French ambassador was there

345
00:19:05,665 --> 00:19:07,537
and she wanted to look good.

346
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:11,410
She was in the picture
and then she left.

347
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:14,283
I know one thing.

348
00:19:14,413 --> 00:19:21,115
That woman you're talking about,
uh, Maxwell, did not give a
cent.

349
00:19:21,203 --> 00:19:25,598
[Boies]
The way she was able
to manipulate the media

350
00:19:25,729 --> 00:19:29,385
to think of her
as a, quote, environmentalist,

351
00:19:29,515 --> 00:19:33,476
um, as opposed
to a sex trafficker,

352
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:36,609
um, probably continued
to contribute

353
00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:41,092
to her sense of being above the
law, of being invulnerable.

354
00:19:41,223 --> 00:19:43,225
I think it led her

355
00:19:43,355 --> 00:19:46,532
to be perhaps careless.

356
00:19:46,663 --> 00:19:50,057
It may have contributed
to her ultimate undoing.

357
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,414
[reporter]
Emotions running high
in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

358
00:19:58,544 --> 00:20:01,417
A tearful accuser
said she was 14

359
00:20:01,547 --> 00:20:04,898
when Maxwell told her
she had a great body

360
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:07,553
for Jeffrey Epstein
and his friends.

361
00:20:09,468 --> 00:20:12,384
We're up to our third accuser,
and her name is Carolyn.

362
00:20:12,515 --> 00:20:15,474
She is testifying
under her first name,

363
00:20:15,605 --> 00:20:20,044
and she is the second accuser
to allege that Ghislaine Maxwell

364
00:20:20,131 --> 00:20:23,700
had fondled her breasts
when she was 14 years old.

365
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:26,529
She said she was brought
into Epstein's orbit

366
00:20:26,659 --> 00:20:29,140
via Virginia Giuffre, Roberts,

367
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:32,012
who was a- a very key figure

368
00:20:32,099 --> 00:20:34,798
in the whole
Ghislaine Maxwell saga.

369
00:20:36,974 --> 00:20:41,021
Virginia was one of the first
people, if not the first person,

370
00:20:41,152 --> 00:20:44,111
to come forward
with the evidence

371
00:20:44,242 --> 00:20:47,463
that not only
were Epstein and Maxwell

372
00:20:47,593 --> 00:20:49,769
abusing young women themselves,

373
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:51,771
but they were
actually trafficking

374
00:20:51,902 --> 00:20:53,469
young women to other men.

375
00:20:55,122 --> 00:20:58,038
The highest profile person

376
00:20:58,125 --> 00:21:01,128
that uh, Virginia uh, identified

377
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:04,523
as someone to whom
she was trafficked

378
00:21:04,610 --> 00:21:08,222
by Epstein and Maxwell
was Prince Andrew.

379
00:21:22,976 --> 00:21:25,762
Ghislaine woke me up
in the morning, excited,

380
00:21:25,892 --> 00:21:28,547
and she said, "You're gonna meet
a prince today."

381
00:21:28,678 --> 00:21:30,810
Ghislaine said,
"He's coming back to the house,

382
00:21:30,897 --> 00:21:33,987
and I want you to do for him
what you do for Epstein."

383
00:21:34,118 --> 00:21:37,991
The abuse went on for
a little bit in the bathroom,

384
00:21:38,122 --> 00:21:39,645
and then it continued
to the bedroom,

385
00:21:39,776 --> 00:21:43,127
and he wasn't rude or anything
about it,

386
00:21:43,257 --> 00:21:45,085
he said, you know, thank you.

387
00:21:47,305 --> 00:21:51,135
[Boies]
My first reaction was
did this really happen?

388
00:21:51,265 --> 00:21:53,442
You know, is it- is it really
true?

389
00:21:53,529 --> 00:21:56,836
To hear that...

390
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:01,537
a member of the royal family,

391
00:22:01,667 --> 00:22:03,539
a prince of England, uh,

392
00:22:03,669 --> 00:22:07,673
was engaged in that conduct, um,

393
00:22:07,804 --> 00:22:10,154
was- was something
that I found surprising,

394
00:22:10,284 --> 00:22:12,765
uh, shocking, disturbing.

395
00:22:12,896 --> 00:22:15,768
Sex trafficking tends to be
something that you associate

396
00:22:15,899 --> 00:22:17,814
with Third World countries.

397
00:22:17,944 --> 00:22:19,990
It's not something
that you think happens

398
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,471
in the United States,
in the United Kingdom.

399
00:22:29,434 --> 00:22:32,306
She said she had sex with you
three times.

400
00:22:32,394 --> 00:22:35,353
Once in a London house
when she was trafficked to you.

401
00:22:35,484 --> 00:22:36,833
-In Maxwell's house.
-Yes.

402
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,704
Once in New York,

403
00:22:38,835 --> 00:22:41,272
a month or so later,
at Epstein's mansion.

404
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:43,840
And once on his private island

405
00:22:43,970 --> 00:22:46,538
in a group
of seven or eight other girls.

406
00:22:49,106 --> 00:22:50,281
No.

407
00:22:50,934 --> 00:22:52,805
She says she dined with you,

408
00:22:52,892 --> 00:22:56,069
danced with you
at Tramp nightclub in London.

409
00:22:56,156 --> 00:23:00,204
She went on to have sex with you
in a house in Belgravia

410
00:23:00,334 --> 00:23:03,076
belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell,
your friend.

411
00:23:03,163 --> 00:23:04,121
Your response?

412
00:23:04,251 --> 00:23:05,949
I have no recollection

413
00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:08,386
of ever meeting this lady.

414
00:23:10,954 --> 00:23:13,652
[McCawley]
I talked to my partner,
David Boies,

415
00:23:13,783 --> 00:23:16,916
and he said, "I have
this new case that's come in

416
00:23:17,047 --> 00:23:18,788
that I think
really is suited for you

417
00:23:18,918 --> 00:23:22,226
because of the work you've done
um, in foster care

418
00:23:22,356 --> 00:23:25,534
and with
sex trafficking victims."

419
00:23:25,664 --> 00:23:29,233
I went to New York
and I met with Virginia,

420
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,757
and within moments
of that meeting,

421
00:23:31,888 --> 00:23:36,022
my life really turned
upside down in many ways.

422
00:23:36,153 --> 00:23:38,938
Virginia made public
that Maxwell had been involved

423
00:23:39,069 --> 00:23:41,332
at the head
of the sex trafficking scheme

424
00:23:41,419 --> 00:23:43,421
along with Epstein.

425
00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:45,336
[reporter]
Can I ask you about the-
the- all the allegations

426
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:46,598
that have come out, Ghislaine?

427
00:23:48,992 --> 00:23:50,863
Have you got no comment at all?

428
00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:53,431
I've made a statement.
Thank you.

429
00:23:53,562 --> 00:23:57,043
Then Maxwell came forward
and made the statement

430
00:23:57,174 --> 00:24:01,221
that Virginia's claims
were, quote, obvious lies.

431
00:24:01,352 --> 00:24:04,094
That gave us the hook to be able
to sue Maxwell for defamation,

432
00:24:04,224 --> 00:24:06,270
and that really started
the journey

433
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,273
in being able
to hold Maxwell accountable

434
00:24:09,403 --> 00:24:11,188
for the crimes she committed.

435
00:24:11,318 --> 00:24:15,453
We were a tight female team,
and we just dug into it.

436
00:24:15,584 --> 00:24:17,455
We pieced together
the flight logs

437
00:24:17,586 --> 00:24:19,544
in a way
that no one ever had before,

438
00:24:19,675 --> 00:24:21,415
to really map that out

439
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:24,506
and understand the trafficking
scheme as a whole.

440
00:24:24,636 --> 00:24:26,333
We had the police reports

441
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:30,163
from the 2005 investigation
in Florida

442
00:24:30,250 --> 00:24:32,905
that showed Maxwell
at the centerpiece of this,

443
00:24:32,992 --> 00:24:35,734
helping arrange the girls,
being very active there,

444
00:24:35,821 --> 00:24:37,954
despite her claims
that she was not.

445
00:24:38,084 --> 00:24:40,957
We spoke to many, many survivors

446
00:24:41,087 --> 00:24:43,307
of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse.

447
00:24:43,437 --> 00:24:46,353
Some of those survivors
uh, would say,

448
00:24:46,484 --> 00:24:48,573
"I-I can't give you any
information. I'm too scared."

449
00:24:48,704 --> 00:24:51,358
It was a very scary
time period.

450
00:24:51,489 --> 00:24:55,537
I myself had threats
and I was scared at times.

451
00:24:55,667 --> 00:24:59,236
I also had people following me.

452
00:24:59,366 --> 00:25:01,891
As you can imagine, there are
incredibly powerful people

453
00:25:02,021 --> 00:25:05,372
who are involved
in this sex trafficking scheme.

454
00:25:05,503 --> 00:25:06,591
They certainly didn't like

455
00:25:06,722 --> 00:25:08,767
that I was turning over stones,

456
00:25:08,898 --> 00:25:10,552
finding out more information.

457
00:25:19,822 --> 00:25:21,737
Maxwell's deposition
is significant

458
00:25:21,867 --> 00:25:24,609
because it's really
the only document we have

459
00:25:24,740 --> 00:25:27,743
that shows testimony
she has given

460
00:25:27,873 --> 00:25:30,963
about the sexual
trafficking scheme.

461
00:25:31,094 --> 00:25:33,400
One of the things
that stood out to me right away

462
00:25:33,531 --> 00:25:37,622
was how obstructionist
Maxwell was going to be.

463
00:25:37,753 --> 00:25:40,190
I asked her
a- a pretty simple question,

464
00:25:40,277 --> 00:25:43,367
"So, Miss Maxwell, when
did you first recruit a female

465
00:25:43,497 --> 00:25:45,543
to work for Mr. Epstein?"

466
00:25:45,674 --> 00:25:49,242
She said, "I don't understand
what you mean by female."

467
00:25:49,373 --> 00:25:51,767
"I don't understand
what you mean by recruit."

468
00:25:51,897 --> 00:25:54,204
"Please be
more specific and clear."

469
00:25:54,334 --> 00:25:58,121
So that just shows you
how difficult

470
00:25:58,208 --> 00:26:00,427
she was willing
to make that deposition,

471
00:26:00,558 --> 00:26:03,430
how she was going to
stop at nothing

472
00:26:03,561 --> 00:26:06,303
to um, not give information.

473
00:26:06,433 --> 00:26:08,044
Maxwell definitely had
an air of entitlement,

474
00:26:08,174 --> 00:26:10,481
is the best way
I can describe it.

475
00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:12,788
"How dare you bring me
into a conference room

476
00:26:12,918 --> 00:26:14,441
and ask me questions."

477
00:26:14,528 --> 00:26:17,140
"I know presidents.
I know princes,

478
00:26:17,270 --> 00:26:18,707
and I should not be bothered

479
00:26:18,837 --> 00:26:21,187
with these kinds
of allegations."

480
00:26:21,318 --> 00:26:24,321
There was another significant
moment in the deposition

481
00:26:24,451 --> 00:26:28,107
where she actually gets so
frustrated with me and so angry

482
00:26:28,238 --> 00:26:31,894
that she slams her fist
on my conference room table,

483
00:26:32,024 --> 00:26:33,852
causing my court reporter's

484
00:26:33,983 --> 00:26:36,333
uh, stenographer machine
to fall over.

485
00:26:36,463 --> 00:26:38,465
And my court reporter
looked at me

486
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:39,902
and said, "I'm so scared."

487
00:26:40,032 --> 00:26:42,121
In that moment, I realized

488
00:26:42,208 --> 00:26:45,037
what the women that I represent
have gone through,

489
00:26:45,124 --> 00:26:47,605
and to- to see how willing she
was

490
00:26:47,736 --> 00:26:49,041
to come forward
in that environment

491
00:26:49,172 --> 00:26:51,870
and attack at this level

492
00:26:52,001 --> 00:26:56,048
um, just confirmed everything
that I knew about her.

493
00:26:56,179 --> 00:27:00,618
In the final analysis, they paid
a lot of money to resolve it.

494
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:03,447
The result
of the defamation case

495
00:27:03,577 --> 00:27:05,275
was very important to Virginia,

496
00:27:05,362 --> 00:27:09,105
not only because of the economic
security it gave her,

497
00:27:09,235 --> 00:27:11,760
but also it was a vindication.

498
00:27:11,847 --> 00:27:15,241
Remember, she had been
accused by Maxwell

499
00:27:15,372 --> 00:27:17,026
of making this all up.

500
00:27:17,156 --> 00:27:19,985
I sometimes felt angry

501
00:27:20,116 --> 00:27:23,685
at the way she dismissed

502
00:27:23,772 --> 00:27:26,078
the victims
of the sex trafficking,

503
00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:30,909
but there were times
when I-I felt sorry for her too.

504
00:27:30,996 --> 00:27:33,433
You know, I tried to understand

505
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:39,483
what led somebody
to do these things.

506
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:42,007
I would never describe her
as a victim,

507
00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:45,663
but I would describe her

508
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:50,973
as a damaged human being,

509
00:27:51,103 --> 00:27:54,672
and what caused that damage,
I don't know.

510
00:27:54,803 --> 00:27:57,327
I've never been able
to understand

511
00:27:57,457 --> 00:28:01,331
why after our civil litigation
was resolved,

512
00:28:01,461 --> 00:28:05,335
Maxwell did not go
to the prosecutors

513
00:28:05,422 --> 00:28:07,163
and try to do a deal.

514
00:28:07,293 --> 00:28:08,947
She could have
given them Epstein.

515
00:28:09,078 --> 00:28:10,906
Now, maybe she was just still

516
00:28:11,036 --> 00:28:15,954
too under Epstein's sway,

517
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:19,262
but she somehow almost seemed

518
00:28:19,392 --> 00:28:22,265
to put that out of her mind

519
00:28:22,395 --> 00:28:26,312
and go forward uh, as is-
as if it didn't happen.

520
00:28:26,443 --> 00:28:30,360
She should have known
that her days were numbered.

521
00:28:38,498 --> 00:28:42,807
[Anne McElvoy]
She started to turn up
more again in London

522
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:45,592
in the late 20 teens.

523
00:28:45,723 --> 00:28:48,160
I felt that was probably
quite shrewd

524
00:28:48,291 --> 00:28:50,423
and strategic on her part,

525
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:53,078
that she wanted something
that was away

526
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:54,906
from the whole Epstein story.

527
00:28:55,037 --> 00:28:57,779
I think probably also
she wanted to know

528
00:28:57,909 --> 00:29:00,869
if London
was still talking to her.

529
00:29:00,999 --> 00:29:04,133
Things were clearly still
unraveling at a- at a rate,

530
00:29:04,263 --> 00:29:08,180
of which I certainly
was not aware at the time.

531
00:29:08,311 --> 00:29:10,356
You would never
be able to tell,

532
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:12,010
if you met Ghislaine Maxwell,
what was going on.

ocean-going confidence.

535
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:18,669
I met her uh, through friends

536
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,629
who'd brought her to a party
that we were at.

537
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,807
We talked about
our Oxford years.

538
00:29:25,937 --> 00:29:28,331
And she said "It was
a great time, wasn't it?"

539
00:29:28,461 --> 00:29:30,376
And I said,
"Yeah, it was a great time."

540
00:29:30,507 --> 00:29:33,162
And she said, "Yes,
it's... it's sad, isn't it,

[newsreader]
A judge ruled this afternoon

543
00:29:42,214 --> 00:29:44,651
that federal prosecutors
broke the law

544
00:29:44,782 --> 00:29:47,829
when they signed a plea
agreement with Jeffrey Epstein.

545
00:29:47,959 --> 00:29:49,526
That's because
the agreement was hidden

546

from 30
of his underage victims.

oddly enough she likes,

clicks "like",
on an Instagram post of mine.

553
00:30:18,947 --> 00:30:21,645
And her timing
was pretty appalling

554
00:30:21,775 --> 00:30:23,908
because by now
I know everything,

and I'm furious,
I'm appalled,

I'm disgusted.

557
00:30:29,522 --> 00:30:31,916
Because 20 years ago,

558
00:30:32,047 --> 00:30:35,833
Ghislaine told me that
she recruits three girls a day,

559
00:30:35,964 --> 00:30:39,228
but she was using
the word "girls."

560
00:30:39,358 --> 00:30:42,361
I literally just thought
she was just talking about

561
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:44,929
human beings, women.

562
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:48,454
In that article,
I see all of that,

that she was talking
about children.

We had been discussing children.

566
00:30:57,724 --> 00:31:00,727
It was hard to take on, um...

567
00:31:00,858 --> 00:31:03,513
on a lot of levels,
because, um...

568
00:31:04,818 --> 00:31:08,170
I felt responsible, in a way,

569
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:09,911
that I had known information

570
00:31:13,392 --> 00:31:16,134
that could have maybe
made a difference.

And, um, I felt sick.

what I didn't know.

The billionaire American
financier Jeffrey Epstein

has been formally charged
with the sex trafficking

teenage girls.

is from a number of years ago,

00:34:23,364 --> 00:34:26,585
I said, "Ghislaine Maxwell
needs to be held accountable

624
00:34:26,672 --> 00:34:30,676
because she's what
got me there."

625
00:34:30,806 --> 00:34:34,505
She groomed me to walk myself

626
00:34:34,637 --> 00:34:36,856
to the home
of a predator willingly.

627
00:34:36,987 --> 00:34:39,120
If it were not for her,

628
00:34:39,250 --> 00:34:42,949
I would not have been abused.

629
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,908
Jeffrey Epstein may be dead,

630
00:34:45,038 --> 00:34:49,869
but the investigation continues
into his web of abuse.

631
00:34:49,956 --> 00:34:52,002
According to new reports,

632
00:34:52,089 --> 00:34:54,744
the FBI has launched
an investigation

633
00:34:54,874 --> 00:34:57,529
of the British socialite
Ghislaine Maxwell.

634
00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:59,314
The big question,
Lady Victoria, now

635
00:34:59,444 --> 00:35:01,620
is where is Ghislaine Maxwell?

636
00:35:01,707 --> 00:35:04,449
You knew her well. When did you
last have any contact with her?

637
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:09,106
I haven't seen her
since September last year.

638
00:35:09,237 --> 00:35:12,196
Um, I don't think we'll...
you're gonna...

639
00:35:12,283 --> 00:35:13,545
No one's gonna find her.

640
00:35:13,676 --> 00:35:15,808
[ticking]

641
00:35:19,464 --> 00:35:22,554
[reporter]
For months, prosecutors say
Ghislaine Maxwell hid away

642
00:35:22,685 --> 00:35:24,382
in this New Hampshire mansion.

643
00:35:24,513 --> 00:35:28,256
But Thursday,
FBI agents moved in.

644
00:35:28,343 --> 00:35:29,909
[woman]
Good morning.

645
00:35:29,996 --> 00:35:31,563
Today we announce charges

646
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:33,739
against Ghislaine Maxwell

647
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:39,092
for helping Jeffrey Epstein
sexually exploit and abuse

648
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:41,573
multiple minor girls

649
00:35:41,704 --> 00:35:47,057
who were as young
as 14 years old.

650
00:35:47,144 --> 00:35:51,017
The moment I got the phone call
that Maxwell had been arrested,

651
00:35:51,104 --> 00:35:53,455
I called all of my clients.

652
00:35:53,585 --> 00:35:56,632
I remember crying
on the phone with them.

653
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,461
It was around nine o'clock
in the morning,

654
00:35:59,591 --> 00:36:02,855
and I got a phone call
from my lawyer,

655
00:36:02,986 --> 00:36:07,033
and she let me know that
Ghislaine had been arrested.

656
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,212
And... I... It wa...

657
00:36:11,342 --> 00:36:13,649
I mean, it was like a cel...
It was a celebration.

658
00:36:13,779 --> 00:36:17,914
I was laughing and crying
at the same time.

659
00:36:18,044 --> 00:36:20,482
Today, after many years,

660
00:36:20,612 --> 00:36:24,834
Ghislaine Maxwell
finally stands charged

661
00:36:24,964 --> 00:36:27,358
for her role in these crimes.

662
00:36:27,489 --> 00:36:29,186
She had hoped
she could be released

663
00:36:29,273 --> 00:36:32,189
to a luxury hotel in New York
to wait out the trial,

664
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,887
but ultimately a judge said
there were no set of conditions

665
00:36:35,018 --> 00:36:36,846
that could ensure
she would not flee,

666
00:36:36,976 --> 00:36:38,587
the risk simply too great.

667
00:36:40,893 --> 00:36:42,852
[reporter]
After a life of luxury,

668
00:36:42,982 --> 00:36:45,289
this is now Ghislaine Maxwell's
stone-cold reality.

669
00:36:45,376 --> 00:36:48,771
Denied bail, imprisoned
in solitary confinement,

670
00:36:48,858 --> 00:36:50,729
and heavily guarded here,

671
00:36:50,860 --> 00:36:52,949
at the Metropolitan Detention
Center in Brooklyn,

672
00:36:53,036 --> 00:36:56,039
with her trial
at least a year away.

673
00:36:56,169 --> 00:36:59,869
[Maloney]
I'm still in a state of shock.

674
00:36:59,999 --> 00:37:02,350
I can't believe that Ghislaine

675
00:37:02,437 --> 00:37:05,744
would have stooped
to that level.

676
00:37:05,875 --> 00:37:07,442
I really...

677
00:37:07,572 --> 00:37:09,618
Part of me
doesn't want to believe it,

678
00:37:09,748 --> 00:37:12,751
and part of me
doesn't believe it.

679
00:37:12,882 --> 00:37:15,232
Not the Ghislaine I knew.

680
00:37:15,363 --> 00:37:20,019
But, then again,
a lot can happen in 40 years.

681
00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:21,412
I'm sure
that there are many people

682
00:37:21,543 --> 00:37:23,936
who do not view
Ghislaine Maxwell

683
00:37:24,067 --> 00:37:26,896
through those lenses
of a predator or a monster.

684
00:37:27,026 --> 00:37:31,640
They view her as whatever
fun party they attended,

685
00:37:31,770 --> 00:37:35,296
or whatever holiday
they attended with her.

686
00:37:35,426 --> 00:37:37,776
She's not walking around

687
00:37:37,907 --> 00:37:40,518
shouting to the world
that she was a predator.

688
00:37:40,605 --> 00:37:45,480
She wasn't sharing that at
the holiday parties, you know.

689
00:37:45,567 --> 00:37:47,569
So I don't necessarily
blame folks

690
00:37:47,699 --> 00:37:51,268
that can't see her that way.

691
00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:55,664
I think that sometimes people
have very deep, dark secrets,

692
00:37:55,794 --> 00:37:58,057
and this is
a very deep, dark secret

693
00:37:58,188 --> 00:38:00,364
that she carried on, you know.

694
00:38:00,451 --> 00:38:02,888
The unfortunate
harsh reality it is

695
00:38:03,019 --> 00:38:05,326
for those that love
and care for her.

696
00:38:06,588 --> 00:38:09,112
[ticking]

697
00:38:11,723 --> 00:38:13,246
We're back this morning
with the latest

698
00:38:13,334 --> 00:38:15,640
on the Ghislaine Maxwell
sex trafficking trial.

699
00:38:15,771 --> 00:38:17,990
She denies all of the charges
against her.

700
00:38:18,121 --> 00:38:22,604
[reporter]
Three women who say as
teenagers they were exploited

701
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:25,476
have so far given evidence
at this trial.

702
00:38:28,305 --> 00:38:31,743
Today began the long anticipated
testimony of Annie Farmer,

703
00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:33,745
the only accusing witness

704
00:38:33,832 --> 00:38:36,052
stepping forward
against Ghislaine Maxwell

705
00:38:36,182 --> 00:38:37,967
in her real name.

706
00:38:38,097 --> 00:38:41,579
And it began
with the prosecution saying,

707
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:43,494
"Is there anyone
in this courtroom

708
00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:45,453
who has ever given you
a massage?"

709
00:38:45,583 --> 00:38:49,805
And she said yes
and identified the defendant.

710
00:38:49,935 --> 00:38:53,199
She said
that she was asked to disrobe

711
00:38:53,330 --> 00:38:57,943
and told to turn around,
lying on her back,

712
00:38:58,030 --> 00:39:00,859
that Ghislaine Maxwell
pulled down the sheet,

713
00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:04,123
exposing her breast
and touching her breast.

714
00:39:06,169 --> 00:39:09,085
It was definitely Ghislaine
who asked me first

715
00:39:09,215 --> 00:39:11,304
about my sister Annie.

716
00:39:13,132 --> 00:39:16,745
Because I was always bragging
about her to everyone.

717
00:39:16,875 --> 00:39:18,703
I mean, she was my whole world,
so I was like,

718
00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:20,792
"Oh, my gosh,
my sister's the smartest,

719
00:39:20,923 --> 00:39:23,534
the most beautiful,
the most angelic."

720
00:39:23,621 --> 00:39:25,841
And I had definitely
bragged about her

721
00:39:25,971 --> 00:39:28,321
to Epstein and to Ghislaine.

722
00:39:28,409 --> 00:39:31,324
This is in 1995.
I was in Palm Beach.

723
00:39:31,455 --> 00:39:33,762
And I was sitting outside
by the pool,

724
00:39:33,892 --> 00:39:35,372
and Ghislaine was, you know,

725
00:39:35,503 --> 00:39:38,897
leaning on a chaise,
and she said,

726
00:39:39,028 --> 00:39:41,683
"Oh, it's too bad Annie's
not here with us, you know."

727
00:39:41,813 --> 00:39:43,119
"It would be very nice
to have her here."

728
00:39:43,249 --> 00:39:44,773
And I said,
"Oh, she would love it."

729
00:39:44,860 --> 00:39:46,949
"She would have
so much fun, definitely."

730
00:39:59,222 --> 00:40:03,705
Ghislaine's role with Annie
was huge, it- it's everything,

731
00:40:03,835 --> 00:40:09,014
because my mother
and everyone believed,

732
00:40:09,145 --> 00:40:11,626
we all believed,
that Annie would be safe

733
00:40:11,756 --> 00:40:14,106
with a married couple.

734
00:40:14,237 --> 00:40:16,718
They told my mother
that they were married.

735
00:40:16,848 --> 00:40:18,763
They told me they were married,

736
00:40:18,850 --> 00:40:21,026
you know, right when I first
started working for them,

737
00:40:21,157 --> 00:40:22,811
but it was to make us feel safe.

738
00:40:22,941 --> 00:40:26,902
Because what woman
is gonna attack a child, right?

739
00:40:26,989 --> 00:40:28,773
We didn't know
that women did that.

740
00:40:28,904 --> 00:40:32,081
And we didn't understand
when we found out

741
00:40:32,211 --> 00:40:34,257
how a woman
could participate in this.

742
00:40:34,387 --> 00:40:36,259
It was really
the most shocking part.

743
00:40:44,136 --> 00:40:47,096
[Klasfeld] So, after two
very brisk weeks of trial,

744
00:40:47,226 --> 00:40:49,315
the government has rested,

745
00:40:49,446 --> 00:40:52,623
and it's rested
with this explosive testimony

746
00:40:52,754 --> 00:40:54,669
from Annie Farmer.

747
00:40:54,799 --> 00:40:56,497
The other witnesses were crying

748
00:40:56,627 --> 00:40:59,674
as they recounted
these really troubling memories.

749
00:40:59,761 --> 00:41:01,719
With Annie Farmer,
it's a different dynamic.

750
00:41:01,806 --> 00:41:04,417
It's the unflappable
Annie Farmer.

751
00:41:04,548 --> 00:41:06,724
I did tell Annie
that I was very...

752
00:41:06,811 --> 00:41:08,421
I- that I was very proud of her,

753
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:12,948
that she...
that she was so brave.

754
00:41:13,078 --> 00:41:16,821
She did it for everybody, like
Virginia and Teresa and myself.

755
00:41:16,952 --> 00:41:19,302
She's just that generous,
you know,

756
00:41:19,432 --> 00:41:21,478
that she would be
thinking of everyone.

757
00:41:21,609 --> 00:41:24,525
This trial
is incredibly important

758
00:41:24,612 --> 00:41:26,657
for everyone
who's ever suffered,

759
00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:30,095
I think,
any kind of sexual abuse.

760
00:41:30,226 --> 00:41:33,272
I'm concerned, very concerned,
if she's released.

761
00:41:33,403 --> 00:41:36,058
Um, if she's not
held accountable,

762
00:41:36,188 --> 00:41:39,017
that would be very damaging.

763
00:41:39,148 --> 00:41:43,282
I reported this thing 26 years
ago to the federal government.

764
00:41:43,413 --> 00:41:47,896
They nursed it, allowed it to
exist very clearly for 26 years.

765
00:41:48,026 --> 00:41:49,680
And it just makes me really mad

766
00:41:49,811 --> 00:41:53,162
that, um, these people
are able to get away

767
00:41:53,292 --> 00:41:55,033
with abusing as many people
as they do,

768
00:41:55,164 --> 00:41:57,209
'cause you don't recover
from those things.

769
00:41:57,296 --> 00:42:00,386
They have all that power,
all that credibility,

770
00:42:00,517 --> 00:42:03,825
and Ghislaine gave... lent
that credibility to Epstein.

771
00:42:03,955 --> 00:42:05,783
That's what she provided
in this charade.

772
00:42:05,914 --> 00:42:07,698
What it did do to me,
this experience,

773
00:42:07,829 --> 00:42:09,091
is it took away my trust

774
00:42:09,221 --> 00:42:11,354
in every human being
on this earth,

775
00:42:11,484 --> 00:42:13,399
because if you can't trust
the people

776
00:42:13,530 --> 00:42:16,881
who are running the whole show,
who can you trust?

777
00:42:21,190 --> 00:42:24,585
[Helm]
Walking into that courtroom,

778
00:42:24,715 --> 00:42:29,894
my body was shaking,
my heart was racing.

779
00:42:30,025 --> 00:42:33,463
Being in the same room
with Ghislaine

780
00:42:33,594 --> 00:42:37,467
for the first time in 19 years,

781
00:42:37,598 --> 00:42:42,080
I was overwhelmed physically.

782
00:42:42,211 --> 00:42:45,867
Her and I looked
straight at one another.

783
00:42:45,997 --> 00:42:49,740
I didn't look away, not...
I didn't blink.

784
00:42:49,871 --> 00:42:51,263
She looked away.

785
00:42:54,702 --> 00:43:00,055
This is me asserting my freedom,
and asserting my power,

786
00:43:00,185 --> 00:43:04,537
and taking back
what was taken from me.

787
00:43:08,933 --> 00:43:11,283
But I couldn't help but notice,

788
00:43:11,414 --> 00:43:13,459
some of her body language,
you know,

789
00:43:13,590 --> 00:43:16,506
just tossing her hair
all about,

790
00:43:16,593 --> 00:43:19,378
like, she didn't really
come across

791
00:43:19,465 --> 00:43:24,122
as someone fearful of outcomes.

792
00:43:24,253 --> 00:43:27,299
And that seems to be
what she's still carrying,

793
00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:34,655
that presumption that all
will turn out in her favor,

794
00:43:34,742 --> 00:43:39,137
and that's someone
that's unwell.

795
00:43:39,268 --> 00:43:42,184
That's complete disconnect
from what she's done.

796
00:43:42,314 --> 00:43:44,360
[reporter]
Now to Lower Manhattan,
where the Ghislaine Maxwell

797
00:43:44,490 --> 00:43:47,885
sex trafficking trial
is now in its 12th day.

798
00:43:48,016 --> 00:43:49,887
Well, first of all, the defense
team for Ghislaine Maxwell,

799
00:43:49,974 --> 00:43:52,455
they did not start off the
day today well at all,

800
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:54,544
the judge scolding them

801
00:43:54,675 --> 00:43:57,895
for not having some of their
witnesses ready to testify.

802
00:43:58,026 --> 00:44:02,030
Now, one of them is going to be
ignoring a federal subpoena,

803
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,033
another one has COVID,
another one is 81 years old,

804
00:44:05,163 --> 00:44:07,949
lives in the UK
and cannot be here until Monday,

805
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:11,822
and then a fourth witness
who is scheduled to testify

806
00:44:11,953 --> 00:44:13,955
is pleading the Fifth.

807
00:44:19,961 --> 00:44:22,833
[Klasfeld]
The defense case rested
only two days in

808
00:44:22,964 --> 00:44:24,661
in the trial
of Ghislaine Maxwell,

809
00:44:24,792 --> 00:44:26,924
and usually
when asked whether or not

810
00:44:27,055 --> 00:44:28,883
a criminal defendant
will testify in their defense,

811
00:44:29,013 --> 00:44:30,449
it's yes or no.

812
00:44:30,580 --> 00:44:32,538
Not Ghislaine Maxwell.
She said:

813
00:44:32,669 --> 00:44:35,019
"Your Honor, the government
has not proven its case

814
00:44:35,106 --> 00:44:36,673
beyond a reasonable doubt,

815
00:44:36,804 --> 00:44:39,937
and so there is no need
for me to testify."

816
00:44:40,068 --> 00:44:41,765
And that's the kind
of Ghislaine Maxwell

817
00:44:41,852 --> 00:44:43,724
we've seen
throughout this trial.

818
00:44:43,854 --> 00:44:46,291
Confident, relaxed,
awaiting a fate

819
00:44:46,422 --> 00:44:48,990
that could see
the rest of her life in prison.

820
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,732
If she's feeling
any sense of panic over that,

821
00:44:51,862 --> 00:44:54,822
she's not putting on a face
that would show that.

822
00:45:04,179 --> 00:45:06,398

Breaking news in the Ghislaine
Maxwell trial.

824
00:45:14,885 --> 00:45:17,409
She has been convicted.

825
00:45:17,540 --> 00:45:20,978
[reporter 2]
She stood there stony-faced as
the jury read out the verdict.

826
00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:22,937
When the jury filed out,

827
00:45:23,067 --> 00:45:25,983
Ghislaine Maxwell
poured a glass of water,

828
00:45:26,070 --> 00:45:29,857
hugged one of her lawyers and
was led out of the courtroom.

829
00:45:29,987 --> 00:45:32,250
Ghislaine Maxwell just got
convicted

830
00:45:32,381 --> 00:45:34,992
of five of six of the serious
counts against her,

831
00:45:35,123 --> 00:45:36,951
including
the most serious counts,

832
00:45:37,081 --> 00:45:38,517
sex trafficking of a minor,

833
00:45:38,648 --> 00:45:41,477
which has
a possible maximum penalty

834
00:45:41,607 --> 00:45:43,305
of 40 years imprisonment.

835

[reporter]
Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Maxwell,

837
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:50,138
can we have a statement
on behalf of the family, please?

838
00:45:50,225 --> 00:45:52,053
What is your reaction
to the verdict?

839
00:45:52,183 --> 00:45:56,187
We firmly believe
in Ghislaine's innocence.

840
00:45:56,318 --> 00:45:59,321
Obviously we are very
disappointed with the verdict.

841
00:45:59,451 --> 00:46:02,454
We have already started working
on the appeal.

842
00:46:02,541 --> 00:46:05,457
Everyone, be healthy.
Have a happy new year.

843
00:46:21,952 --> 00:46:25,216
It's a tremendous relief
to be here.

844
00:46:25,347 --> 00:46:28,698
I- I, um, wasn't sure
that this day would ever come,

845
00:46:28,829 --> 00:46:33,007
and uh, I just feel so grateful
that the jury believed us

846
00:46:33,137 --> 00:46:36,184
and sent a strong message
that perpetrators

847
00:46:36,314 --> 00:46:39,970
of sexual abuse and exploitation
will be held accountable,

848
00:46:40,057 --> 00:46:42,755
no matter how much power
and privilege that they have.

849
00:46:45,019 --> 00:46:47,804
[Anne McElvoy]
I don't think
the verdict was a shock,

850
00:46:47,935 --> 00:46:51,634
but I did find
it- it made me recoil.

851
00:46:52,896 --> 00:46:56,682
Looking at Ghislaine Maxwell
striding around Oxford

852
00:46:56,813 --> 00:46:59,642
all those years ago,

853
00:46:59,772 --> 00:47:01,818
there was something
very attractive,

854
00:47:01,949 --> 00:47:05,691
very engaging,
commanding about her,

855
00:47:05,778 --> 00:47:09,391
and that did make her
someone you...

856
00:47:09,521 --> 00:47:14,396
people wanted to know,
they enjoyed her company.

857
00:47:14,526 --> 00:47:17,529
And yet those same attributes

858
00:47:17,616 --> 00:47:21,794
were turned to... really
to something very, very wicked.

859
00:47:23,971 --> 00:47:26,451
If you'd said to me
this is where

860
00:47:26,582 --> 00:47:28,062
Ghislaine Maxwell will end up,

861
00:47:28,192 --> 00:47:32,153
this is what you'd be
talking about today,

862
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:35,286
I'd have said, "That's crazy.
You've got the wrong person."

863
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,337
What Epstein did

864
00:47:42,424 --> 00:47:45,122
is almost a microcosm

865
00:47:45,253 --> 00:47:47,429
of how the world works,

866
00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:49,866
of very rich and powerful people

867
00:47:49,997 --> 00:47:54,740
exploiting people
without that wealth and power.

868
00:47:54,871 --> 00:47:58,919
She was the facilitator
of that rapacity,

869
00:47:59,049 --> 00:48:03,401
that predatory determination
to meet your needs

870
00:48:03,488 --> 00:48:06,665
regardless of
anybody else's costs.

871
00:48:09,059 --> 00:48:12,280
Maxwell did not do this
because Epstein told her to.

872
00:48:12,410 --> 00:48:16,327
She did it in her- her own
agency, her own will.

873
00:48:16,458 --> 00:48:19,852
She chose to perpetrate these
crimes against young victims,

874
00:48:19,983 --> 00:48:22,768
and she benefited
from those crimes.

875
00:48:22,899 --> 00:48:26,250
[Boies]
Epstein and Maxwell could not
have accomplished what they did

876
00:48:26,381 --> 00:48:28,470
acting alone.

877
00:48:28,557 --> 00:48:32,996
They could not have had
the scope and scale and duration

878
00:48:33,127 --> 00:48:35,520
of the sexual trafficking
and abuse.

879
00:48:35,651 --> 00:48:40,090
Their collaborators, their
enablers, their coconspirators

880
00:48:40,177 --> 00:48:43,311
are all people who need to be
brought to justice.

881
00:48:43,441 --> 00:48:46,401
The horrible heartache,

882
00:48:46,531 --> 00:48:48,969
collective heartache,
of all of this.

883
00:48:50,796 --> 00:48:53,756
For these two people

884
00:48:53,886 --> 00:48:57,107
to have created
for so many people,

885
00:48:57,238 --> 00:48:58,979
and then so many other people
off of that,

886
00:48:59,109 --> 00:49:01,590
families and parents
and all the other things

887
00:49:01,677 --> 00:49:06,203
that... that stem off of this,
you know, shame on you.

888
00:49:06,334 --> 00:49:08,162
Shame on you, so...

889
00:49:13,776 --> 00:49:15,169
And not on me.

890
00:49:17,214 --> 00:49:23,003
I don't wish... harm.

891
00:49:23,133 --> 00:49:25,701
However, she does not deserve
to be free.

892
00:49:25,831 --> 00:49:28,269
I can only hope

893
00:49:28,356 --> 00:49:31,576
that at some point

894
00:49:31,707 --> 00:49:35,754
she admits to herself

895
00:49:35,885 --> 00:49:37,104
what she's done,

896
00:49:37,234 --> 00:49:39,149
'cause I don't think she has,

897
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,805
at this point... no.
