A British woman testified Monday that Ghislaine Maxwell pressured her into giving Jeffrey Epstein sexual massages when she was still a teenager, assuring her she would have 바카라fun바카라 with him.
The woman 바카라 testifying at Maxwell's sex-abuse trial in New York City using the pseudonym 바카라Kate바카라 to protect her privacy 바카라 described one episode during the mid-1990s at Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida estate where Maxwell left out a schoolgirl's outfit with a pleated skirt for her to wear for the financier.
바카라I thought it would be fun for you to take Jeffrey his tea in this outfit,바카라 the witness recalled Maxwell telling her.
After a sexual encounter that followed, the British socialite 바카라asked me if I had fun바카라 and told her, 바카라You are such a good girl,바카라 she said.
The witness was the second woman to take the witness stand against Maxwell in federal court in Manhattan. But unlike the first, she was at the age of consent in Great Britain and the United States during her sexual contact with Epstein, so the judge barred her from detailing specific sex acts.
Maxwell, 59, has denied charges she groomed girls as young as 14 for Epstein, who killed himself in jail in 2019. Her lawyers say the government is making her a scapegoat for Epstein's alleged sex crimes.
The woman who testified on Monday said she met Maxwell at age 17 through a friend of hers she had dated on and off, and was eager to be friends with the British socialite. Maxwell told her Epstein, then her boyfriend, was a philanthropist who could help her with her singing career, she said.
Maxwell also told her that Epstein was 바카라demanding바카라 when it came to sexual massages, saying it was 바카라very difficult to keep up" with his needs, the witness said. After agreeing to give him massages in London, she was later flown on commercial flights to Florida, where she said the interactions continued when she was 18.
She recalled that the first time she saw Epstein naked, Maxwell was standing right next to him. 바카라I remember it so clearly because I was terrified and frozen,바카라 she said.
By contrast, Maxwell's demeanor was 바카라almost like a schoolgirl,바카라 she said. 바카라Everything was fun. Everything seemed to be like a fun, silly joke."
She said she resisted 바카라disengaging바카라 from Maxwell and Epstein 바카라because I had witnessed how connected they both were and I was fearful."
Asked about wanting to testify anonymously, she said, 바카라I have a huge amount of humiliation and shame around the events that took place바카라 and wanted to protect her child from knowing details.
On cross-examination, a lawyer for Maxwell got the witness to acknowledge instances where she had spoken out publicly about Epstein and Maxwell using her real name. The lawyer also asked whether her history of drug and alcohol abuse affected her memory.
바카라It has not had an impact on the memories I have always had,바카라 she said.
The jury also saw bank statements on Monday showing that between 1999 and 2007, roughly USD 30 million was transferred from Epstein's accounts to those of Maxwell's. About USD 7 million of that was used in the purchase of a helicopter, the records showed.
