Jeffrey Epstein's Alleged Pimp Maxwell Preparing to Testify in Sex Trafficking Probe - Report

https://ift.tt/35ry7a4 Jeffrey Epstein's longtime lover and associate, UK-born Ghislaine Maxwell, has been in hiding since she reportedly met this summer with Great Britain's disgraced Prince Andrew, who himself is accused by several women of having sexually abused them as part of the American paedophile's alleged sex-trafficking ring. Maxwell, who is reported to have been Epstein's procurer of young girls, is currently preparing to appear publicly "within days" to defend herself, along with the Duke of York, The Sun reported late on Sunday, citing sources. Epstein's purported pimp and Prince Andrew are at the epicentre of the ongoing probe against the deceased American paedophile, after a primary piece of evidence emerged earlier this year in the form of a 2001 photograph of alleged sex trafficking victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre, now 35, with the Duke of York’s arm tightly around her waist when she was 17 with Maxwell smiling in the background. "[Giuffre] maintains that photo of her with Prince Andrew is totally genuine. And it certainly looks genuine to me,” Roberts’ lawyer Josh Schiller said, as cited by The Sun. The royal family and Prince Andrew have categorically denied involvement in any crime or of having had knowledge of the crimes committed by Epstein. Prince Andrew has reportedly been evicted from his office space at Buckingham Palace by his mother - Queen Elizabeth II - after he dropped out of the public eye amid the ongoing investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking practices. “Like Andrew, she has no memory of it [...] Ghislaine thinks there are a lot of problems with the picture and it is very fishy. It is one of very few photos that does not bear a time and date stamp,” a source cited by The Sun said. The UK-based media outlet reported earlier, citing sources, that the FBI is seeking to question Maxwell over her links to Epstein. Maxwell has not been seen in public since August, five days after Epstein's death in jail. Another source, cited by the Sun, claimed that “Ghislaine is preparing to speak - whether by talking to the FBI or giving a statement to the media [...] She has to defend herself. She has no option. She will have to address this guilt by association." Epstein, a convicted sex abuser, had been under investigation for nearly two decades at the time of his suspicious death in custody earlier this year. The convicted paedophile - who has been linked to many wealthy and powerful people, including US Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump - was inexplicably taken off of suicide watch, despite reportedly trying to kill himself just weeks earlier. He was previously sentenced after being convicted as a sex offender and paedophile. Epstein served a light sentence of just 13 months.

Friends in all the wrong places

https://ift.tt/2BVSIXZ Striding past the glistening rows of duty-free liquor, watches and perfume, the two international travellers moved like men who could fight. Richard ''Gelly'' Gelemanovic had broad shoulders and a confident gait, while his companion, convicted heroin trafficker Amad ''Jay'' Malkoun, had a physique honed during his 16-year stint in prison. It was July 3, 2003, and Malkoun was recently out of jail, having gained public notoriety after being charged in 1988 as a key player in the state's biggest drug syndicate, which had been busted with $5.5 million of heroin. Amad 'Jay' Malkoun was described by police as 'a powerful standover man'. The federal police who were secretly watching Malkoun at Melbourne's international airport described him in a report as ''a powerful stand-over man … actively involved in the Melbourne drug trade''. The profession of his travelling companion, the man Jay called ...

Nxivm honcho Lauren Salzman will remain under house arrest: judge

https://ift.tt/2XGaKuh At least she doesn’t have to stay in the sex dungeon. Former Nxivm member and top-tier sex slave Lauren Salzman will remain under house arrest and electronic monitoring, a judge ruled Thursday. Salzman previously asked Brooklyn federal court Judge Nicholas Garaufis to ease up on the restrictions of her confinement, citing last month’s conviction of Nxivm leader and sex cult “Grandmaster” Keith Raniere on sex trafficking and other charges. “This proposed modification to the Court’s Order setting release conditions is to afford Ms. Salzman a more fulsome opportunity to integrate into her community,” her defense attorneys write, also citing her guilty plea to racketeering conspiracy earlier this year as a reason she should be granted more freedom. Salzman took the stand against Raniere at trial to reveal he was the leader of a secret master-slave sex group within Nxivm, known as DOS. The 42-year-old testified that Raniere — who had his initials burned into the flesh...
