According to the letter made public by Maxwell’s lawyer, a former president of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law will testify that Maxwell’s alleged effort to win her accusers’ trust did not automatically reflect an intent they be abused.
The letter said Park Dietz would testify that the suggestion Maxwell committed “grooming-by-proxy”, by recruiting underage girls to give sexualized massages to Epstein, had no support in the scientific community.
[...]
Pagliuca said Dietz could also testify about how Epstein, like others with “great power and wealth”, might have radiated a “halo effect” that let him surround himself with people who served his needs.
“The materials reviewed reflect that Jeffrey Epstein was a brilliant man who was flawed by enduring personality traits … found among those with antisocial, narcissistic, borderline, and histrionic personality disorders,” the letter said.

So, IMO, they are at the moment "alleged victims", and that is what I will continue to call them until the matter is resolved.

I don't think we know who the accusers are, but I think it would be fair to classify them as "victims of Epstein" and "alleged victims of Maxwell". Epstein was convicted and victims were identified.

A judge Monday ruled that prosecutors can refer to accusers of Ghislaine Maxwell as “victims” at the British socialite’s upcoming trial in New York on charges of procuring underage girls to be sexually abused by mysterious money man Jeffrey Epstein.
Manhattan federal court Judge Alison Nathan, citing the need to protect Maxwell’s accusers from embarrassment, also ruled during a hearing that those women can have their identities kept anonymous during the trial.

New: Ghislaine Maxwell loses her renewed request for bail pending trial—again. By my count, this is the fourth time Judge Nathan DENIED her bid for pre-trial release.

She didn't want to go back.
At the age of 19, when she had been involved in the sex cult for over two years, Epstein and Maxwell came up with a proposal that turned her stomach: they wanted her to carry his baby.
They told VG she would be taken care of for the rest of her life if she would agree to give Epstein and Maxwell a child, although there were some strings attached. In particular, she would have to sign a contract agreeing that the baby was not her own, but the legal child of Epstein and Maxwell.
It was the final straw. She couldn’t bear the thought of Epstein and Maxwell raising her child. She knew she had to escape.
Her chance came during a trip to Thailand.
At Epstein’s direction, VG had been dispatched there to pick up a young girl, interview her, and let Epstein know if she was ‘qualified’. But rather than meet the girl VG.
She went into town and met a man from Australia who fell in love with her and promised to take care of her. She married him days later, hopped on a plane with him to Australia, and never looked back.
She hid in Australia for nearly ten years, during which time she had three children.

Jury selection has started ahead of GM’s trial.
She has now applied for – and been denied – bail on six occasions.
The BBC has pulled the video of PA in JE’s mansion, reportedly from 2010, two years after JE’s first conviction. The reason no doubt is because the trial is before a jury.

In a never-before-heard recording JE said, “Ghislaine is the best at what I need. She’s my best friend — she has been for a very long time.”
Those words are from journalist Vicky Ward’s “previously off-the-record conversations” with JE. She has hours of audio footage of conversations with him.
Her revelations from years of reporting, as well as interviews with other key players in the JE and GM saga, come to light in the new docuseries “Chasing Ghislaine.”
The three-part show debuts on discovery+ on Nov. 22 — a week before her trial is due to start on Nov. 29 — and is hyped as “an in-depth and revelatory look at the woman who is accused of sharing a twisted and chilling partnership with Epstein.”
A press release for the series details the depth of reporting: “Ward reveals how this story began, exposing the mystery behind Epstein’s wealth and influence and how Maxwell’s alleged role within this conspiracy threatens a shadowy cabal of international elite and world leaders who might do anything to keep their identities — and motives — hidden.”

GM lost her bid on Wednesday to exclude a psychologist who has studied the "grooming" of sexual crimes victims from testifying at her upcoming trial.
Prosecutors have said they may call Lisa Rocchio, a psychologist who specializes in treating patients who have suffered sexual abuse, as a witness at the trial.
During the hearing, Rocchio said adolescents were particularly likely to disclose sexual abuse later in life. She said false allegations of sexual abuse can occur, but that they represent a "very small minority" of accusations.
GM’s lawyers said Rocchio's opinions are inadmissible, arguing they were based mainly on her personal experience as a practitioner and lacked scientific backing. They plan to call their own experts who would argue that the suggestion GM committed "grooming by proxy" - by winning the alleged victims' trust in order to manipulate them into having encounters with Epstein - had no support in the scientific community.
Following questioning, Judge Nathan said she would largely allow Rocchio's testimony, in a blow to GM's defense.

What was she thinking demanding to exclude the psychologist of the victims?
It sounds arrogant to me!
Is she for real?

I guess it would be terrifying for the victims to be on tv.
I cant imagine myself standing in court being attacked by this "rottweiler like" lawyer.
Argh! I would be petrified standing like a statue.

In state cases when cameras are in courtroom, witnesses (victims) with sensitive testimony often are not filmed while on witness stand. I believe it is a decision made between judge and witness. But no worries here. There will be no cameras in court for this federal case, only drawings by the sketch artist.
