Ghislaine Maxwell on âfishing expeditionâ for explosive evidence from Jeffrey Epstein accusers: lawyers
Ghislaine Maxwell wants to get her hands on a wide array of evidence from Jeffrey Epsteinâs accusers, including a pair of cowboy boots that the sex offender bought for one young girl in the 1990s and a notorious photo of another victim with Prince Andrew, according to new court papers.
The details of Maxwellâs subpoena were revealed Friday in a Manhattan Federal Court filing by attorney Sigrid McCawley, who represents several Epstein accusers including Annie Farmer and Virginia Giuffre.
McCawley alleges in court papers that Maxwell is on an improper âfishing expeditionâ for evidence to back up the claim that the law firm of high-profile attorney David Boies conspired with federal prosecutors to orchestrate the British socialiteâs downfall.
Maxwell seeks communications between the firmâs lawyers and the Southern District of New York, material from the out-of-court Epstein Victims Compensation Program and other evidence, according to the court filing.
She also wants a look at private information from the victims, including Farmerâs journal from when she was a teenager, and boots Epstein bought her as a young girl, the filing says.
Maxwell has also demanded photos of Farmerâs sister, Maria, on Victoriaâs Secret founder Les Wexnerâs property, and a photo of Giuffre with Prince Andrew and Maxwell in the early 2000s, according to the filing.
Taken together, the proposed demands highlight how explosive the Maxwell trial, currently scheduled for July, could be if Judge Alison Nathan allows evidence beyond the timeframe of Maxwellâs charges.
