Ghislaine Maxwell massage testimony unsealed

Ghislaine Maxwell lost a legal battle to keep testimony from a 2016 deposition under wraps as she faces perjury charges.

Attorneys working for Maxwell, the former girlfriend of convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, worked to keep a passage about massages from the deposition under seal, although the judge in the case ruled that “it does not relate to private sexual activity of consenting adults, but only to massages,” clearing the passage for its Thursday release.

The excerpt is a win for prosecutors who are alleging that Maxwell, 59, committed perjury when she claimed that she never massaged Epstein or any of the minors she allegedly procured for Epstein, who was facing sex-trafficking charges at the time of his death.

Maxwell’s testimony is sourced from a 2016 deposition she gave in a civil defamation suit brought against her by Virginia Giuffre, one of the women who has accused Maxwell of targeting her to be abused by Epstein.

“Did you ever give a massage to anyone other than Mr. Epstein at any of Mr. Epstein’s properties?” an attorney asked Maxwell during the deposition.

“First of all, I never said I gave Mr. Epstein a massage,” Maxwell responded. “I don’t give massages.”

“Let’s just tie that down. It is your testimony that you’ve never given anybody a massage?” the attorney clarified.

“I have not given anyone a massage,” she responded.

While Epstein died in jail on Aug. 10, 2019, Maxwell is facing two perjury charges and charges related to her alleged conspiracy with Epstein to recruit, groom, and sexually abuse underage girls.

Epstein and his associates forced three of his victims into marriages for immigration purposes and to exert more control over their lives, a court filing this week claimed. Denise George, the attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands, accused two executors of the disgraced financier’s estate of having “knowingly facilitated the fraudulent and coerced marriages.”

Maxwell, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, has been denied bail in her case. Her trial is set for the summer.

The Cessna’s tail number N907AR is a personalized number, indicating the 907 area code and A.R. for Alice Rogoff. These can be ordered specially from the FAA. The airplane was manufactured in 2014, according to the FAA, and it appears she purchased it new.

According to the website Trade-a-Plane.com, a plane of this quality, in airworthy condition, is worth as much as $400,000.

Rogoff is reported by Alaska aviators to be taking “dual lessons,” with a flight instructor on board to regain her seaplane certification, which she lost after a crash in 2016. One pilot looking at the footage said that the “go round” was the only good decision that appeared to be made by the pilot.

Rogoff crashed a Cessna floatplane nearly a year and a half ago while attempted to land in Halibut Cove, Alaska.

The wealthy East Coast transplant, who purchased the Anchorage Daily News in 2014 and merged it with the Alaska Dispatch News that she had purchased years earlier, declared her newspaper empire bankrupt in August of this year.

She is still in litigation with her former business partner, Tony Hopfinger, who says she owes him $900,000. Many others are awaiting payment from her; the liens against against Rogoff are in the millions of dollars.

The Alaska Dispatch News changed hands this week after the sale was approved by a bankruptcy judge.

It is now owned by the Binkley Company of Fairbanks in a deal set to close today. The remainder of her assets are likely headed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and creditors such as GCI and Arctic Partners have filed documents to try to “pierce the corporate veil” and get to her personal assets to recover the money she owes them.
