Georgia voter purge:
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and close confidant of Jeffrey Epstein who is accused of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls, won $13.70 on Wednesday, after a judge ordered one of her accusers to cover Maxwell’s legal expenses.
A woman under the pseudonym “Jane Doe” filed a lawsuit last year accusing the socialite of acting like “an older sister” when Doe was 13 years old. She accused Maxwell of grooming her to be sexually abused by Epstein, and raped by him at age 17, Bloomberg reported.
Doe dropped the case last year, opting to join a settlement that offered a victims’ compensation fund established by Epstein’s estate, according to Bloomberg.
After the case was dropped, Maxwell’s lawyer Laura Menninger took action on a provision that allows the “prevailing party” to be reimbursed for costs, other than legal fees, when a case is dismissed on one’s accord, Bloomberg reported.
