Ghislaine Maxwell Claims US Government Shielded 29 Epstein Associates
Ghislaine Maxwell alleges in a court filing that the US government protected 29 of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates through “secret settlements,” shielding them from prosecution. The filing names four “co-conspirators” and 25 other men who allegedly avoided charges due to agreements with the Department of Justice, though their identities remain undisclosed to her. Maxwell claims this lack of information hindered her defense during her 2022 trial, where she was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The court document states that none of the named individuals have been prosecuted or revealed to Maxwell.
