Victims exhale over reckoning

Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction on charges she funneled underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse was long overdue, victims said Wednesday.

“My soul yearned for justice for years, and today the jury gave me just that,” Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre tweeted. “I will remember this day always.

“Having lived with the horrors of Maxwell’s abuse, my heart goes out to the many other girls and young women who suffered at her hands and whose lives she destroyed,” she added.

Giuffre did not testify at Maxwell’s trial, nor was she one of the victims the British socialite was accused of procuring for Epstein. But she has been one of the pair’s most outspoken accusers, claiming they pimped her out to Prince Andrew (pictured, with

Giuffre and Maxwell).

Annie Farmer, one of four Epstein accusers who testified at the trial, said she was “relieved and grateful” that the jury convicted Maxwell.

“She has caused hurt to many more women than the few of us who had the chance to testify in the courtroom,” Farmer said. “I hope that this verdict brings solace to all who need it and demonstrates that no one is above the law.”

Attorneys representing dozens of other victims also hailed the conviction.

“The verdict screams loud and clear — if you make it easier for another to sexually abuse children, you, too, will be held accountable for your role in that abuse,” said Robert Glassman, attorney for an Epstein accuser who testified using the name “Jane.”

Lawyer David Boise, who represented about a dozen of the women, said it was “a great day” for the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse. “This is a verdict that is a victory for those survivors,” he said. “They deserve the credit. The vindication is theirs.”

Lisa Bloom, who represents eight of Epstein’s victims, said she was elated.

“My clients and I were moved to tears that this day has finally come,” Bloom told The Post. “[Maxwell] got to walk free on this earth for 60 years. May she never walk free again.”

Sigrid McCawley, who also represents Epstein’s victims, said in a statement, “Today’s verdict is a towering victory, not just for the brave women who testified in this trial, but for the women around the world whose young and tender lives were diminished and damaged by the abhorrent actions of Ghislaine Maxwell.”
