Epstein’s ex ‘defensive’
NEWLY released transcripts show financier Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend was combative and defensive under tough questioning four years ago about his interactions with underage girls.
In the transcripts, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell repeatedly denied hiring anyone under the age of 18 for Epstein.
Manhattan US District judge Loretta A Preska had ordered the transcripts of seven hours of depositions of Maxwell be released by 9am yesterday.
“I never saw any inappropriate underage activities with Jeffrey ever,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell, 58, has been held without bail since her July arrest on charges that she procured three underage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse between 1994 and 1997. She has pleaded not guilty.
