JUDGE TURNS SCREWS ON GHISLAINE!
ACCUSED child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell got slammed by a judge who rejected her request to ban the word “victim” at her trial and squashed claims her case was “political.”
Judge Alison Nathan’s decision comes after the wealthy 59-year-old British socialite’s requests for bail were repeatedly denied. Maxwell’s accused of recruiting and grooming teenage girls for the sickening sex attacks of her onetime lover and former boss, the late convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Wearing a blue prison suit from the Brooklyn, N.Y., pen where she’s been held since
July 2020, Maxwell’s demand to ban the words “minor” and “victim” at her trial was rejected.
Maxwell fears the emotionally charged descriptions will sway the jury against her when they hear testimony by then teenage girls who she allegedly recruited and trained to be Epstein’s massage girls, who gave sexual
favors to him and his wealthy, fatcat friends.
She also claims she is being prosecuted in place of Epstein, who was found hanging in his jail cell in August 2019, and only worked as a private secretary for the disgraced billionaire.
The judge also refused to allow Maxwell’s lawyers to introduce remarks by former U.S. Attorney General William Barr that her case was a “political prosecution.”
