Prosecutors are almost done presenting their case at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial — but they just had a terrible day

 

  • Prosecutors are almost done presenting their child-sex-trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell.

  • Thursday was supposed to be the day the state rested its case, but it went terribly for them.

  • The testimony of a star witness was delayed because a lawyer was sick, and FedEx records helped the defense.

BI article is actually a petty good read, but is anyone surprised the prosecution had a "bad day", considering who is running it?

Ghislaine Maxwell trial – live: Annie Farmer says at 16 socialite massaged her breasts and Epstein groped her

 

Annie Farmer, the fourth accuser from the indictment against Ms Maxwell, is now testifying. She is the only victim using her real name. Ms Farmer confirms that she told the FBI about Ms Maxwell massaging her.

 

In 2019 she spoke with law enforcement in New York and in the fall of 2019 she sued Epstein and Ms Maxwell.

 

Asked why she kept the cowboy boots and wanted to “reclaim” them by wearing them again, she said: “It was a dark memory and I had felt so taken advantage of by them both.” She says she struggled to step forward as it was a “shameful” memory but she wanted “accountability” and “these people to being stopped”.

 

She adds that she spoke to the media off the record in 2016 and on the record in 2019 and was not paid for interviews. Ms Farmer later said that she has no financial interest in the outcome of the trial.

 

Ms Farmer has participated in the Epstein victim compensation fund and was awarded $1.5m. Ms Farmer is asked if Ms Maxwell ever gave her a massage and replies that yes, she did, adding that there was a table set up in the room in which she was staying. Ms Maxwell instructed her to undress and she was massaged wearing nothing.

 

Instructed to roll onto her back, she said Ms Maxwell “pulled the sheet down”, “exposed her breasts”, and touched them.

 

She recalled having the sense that Epstein might be watching as the door to the room was open.
