Ghislaine Maxwell appeal over 2021 sex trafficking conviction to begin in New York
British-born socialite, 62, was sentenced to 20 years behind bars last year after being found guilty of five counts of trafficking and abusing young girls over decadenews.yahoo.com
Her appeal, which is taking place at a federal court in New York, is set to begin on Tuesday. Lawyers have argued that if her conviction is not overturned then she should be given a new trial or re-sentenced.
It is expected that during the appeal, Maxwell will claim that the four victims who testified against her at trial had “faded, distorted and motivated memories”. Her lawyers will argue that she was prosecuted as a “proxy” for Epstein to satisfy public outrage after his death in custody while awaiting trial in 2019.
The Associated Press reported that she will also claim that prosecutors breached a non-prosecution agreement, charged her with “time-barred offenses”, and recast Epstein’s crimes to make her the culprit.
They further allege that prosecutors teamed up with victims who were suing Epstein and Maxwell “whose interests were financial, to develop new allegations.”
In cases like this, it doesn't matter if the plaintiffs have "motivated memories." What matters is whether they have a legal reason to sue, or not. In other words, I don't care what motivated VR to stay in Australia, disappear from the radar, get married and later, sue. What matters is that she has a valid reason to sue - she was a minor when abused and used by Epstein.
What is interesting is that Epstein went straight back to his activities after incarceration. Meaning, he either couldn't stop it because his "business" depended on them, or he was a pedophile addicted to sex. Probably, both.
Ghislaine is likely the victim of some own childhood trauma who was left in a difficult financial situation after her father's death and used his shady connections. Hard to feel sorry for her. While history is full of "honeytrap" cases, most of them using certain targets' vulnerabilities, this is a "babytrap" case through and through, and so ugly.
What else did you expect?The rules are arrogant and entitled and narcissistic ....
