Victim’s Haunting Words Which Show Ghislaine Can Never Be Truly Free; The Daily Beast, August 1, 2025

, The Daily Beast;  Victim’s Haunting Words Which Show Ghislaine Can Never Be Truly Free

"Though Giuffre is unable to voice an objection now, she leaves us with a statement her attorney read at Maxwell’s sentencing on June 28, 2022. Giuffre addressed the statement directly to Maxwell.

“Ghislaine: Twenty-two years ago, in the summer of 2000, you spotted me at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, and you made a choice: You chose to follow me and procure me for Epstein. Just hours later, you and he abused me together for the first time. Together you damaged me physically, mentally, sexually and emotionally. Together you did unthinkable things that still have a corrosive impact on me to this day. I want to be clear about one thing: Without question, Jeffrey Epstein was a terrible pedophile, but I never would have met Jeffrey Epstein if not for you.

“For me, and for so many others, you opened the door to hell, and then, Ghislaine, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you used your femininity to betray us and you led us all through it. When you did that, you changed the course of our lives forever."

Jeffrey Epstein victims and family blast Trump for Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer; CNBC, August 1, 2025

 Dan Mangan, CNBC; Jeffrey Epstein victims and family blast Trump for Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"Two sexual abuse victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the family of late Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre on Friday blasted President Donald Trump after learning that Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred to a less restrictive prison in Texas from Florida.

“This move smacks of a cover up,” Epstein victims Annie Farmer and Maria Farmer, as well as Giuffre’s relatives said in a statement.

“President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter,” the statement said, noting that the two women and Giuffre’s family had not been notified of Maxwell’s transfer before media reports of it.

Maxwell’s transfer to minimum security camp in Bryan, Texas, came after two days of meetings she and her lawyer had last week in Tallahassee, Florida, with a top Justice Department official.

That official, Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche, is Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer.

Trump is a former friend of Epstein and Maxwell."
