Ghislaine Maxwell is now speaking 'Your honor, it is hard for me to address the court after listening to the pain and anguish expressed today,' she says. 'The terrible impact on the lives of so many women is difficult to hear and even more difficult to absorb in its scale and it extent. I want to acknowledge their suffering.
I empathize deeply with all of the victims in this case.' 'I acknowledge with that I have been a victim of helping Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes.' She added that Epstein 'fooled all of those in his orbit'
'His impact upon all those who were close to him has been devastating.'

Ghislaine Maxwell claims Jeffrey Epstein ‘fooled all of those in his orbit’
Ghislaine Maxwell said Epstein ‘fooled all of those in his orbit.’
‘His impact upon all those who were close to him has been devastating.’
‘Victims considered him as a godfather, a mentor, a benefactor, a friend, a lover. It is absolutely unfathomable today to think that was how he was viewed contemporaneously. His impact on all those close to him has been devastating’
‘I’m sorry for the pain that you have experienced.’
‘I hope this brings the women who have suffered some measure of peace and faintly to help you put those experiences of so many years ago in a place that allows you to look forward and not back.’
‘It is my sincerest wish to all those in this courtroom and all those outside this courtroom that today brings a terrible chapter to an end.’
‘May this day help you travel through darkness into the light,’ Maxwell tells the victims before concluding.
She gets no deal, and the men that actually had sex with the underage girls are chilling on the beach with a cocktail and a new “18” year old…
Bullshit lock her up for 50 years !
Dark to light?

Knock off one year for every person she can name in Epstein’s rolodex.
Sounds like she’s falling on her sword to protect the guilty elites that were Epstein’s customers.

Judge Nathan to impose sentence in Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
‘Miss Maxwell directly and repeatedly and over the course of many years participated in a horrific scheme to entice, transport and traffic underage girls, some as young as 14.’
And all the clients she supplied all skate free and clear! Boom that’s how we do that!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 get the chick to take the fall.
The list of clients will never see the light of day. Too many important people to ever reveal ot.
OTOH we can be reasonably certain that Trump’s name is not there because had it been that at least would have probably been leaked by now.
She did not want to become the next victim of ARKANCIDE this week.
leave Ghislane alone!
Someone posted on patriots.win that
“Ghislaine Maxwell Judge Reduces Possible Maximum Term From 55 Years To 19.5 Years In Huge Victory For Defense “
the link was to a news site I’d never heard of, which had published moments before.
So take with a grain of salt.
Where is her client list??????
She’s going for a populated commissary account.
Watch...
Once she’s incarcerated, the funding will stop.

Judge Nathan to impose sentence in Ghislaine Maxwell trial
‘Miss Maxwell directly and repeatedly and over the course of many years participated in a horrific scheme to entice, transport and traffic underage girls, some as young as 14.’
‘Miss Maxwell is not being punished in place of Epstein nor as a proxy for Epstein,’ Judge Nathan says.
‘Miss Maxwell is being punished for her role.’
The judge calls Maxwell’s behavior ‘heinous and predatory,’ Nathan says, noting that she worked with Epstein to select ‘young victims who were vulnerable.’
Judge Nathan cities victim, ‘Jane,’ who was befriended by Maxwell when she was 14.
‘She normalized the sexual abuse.’
The judge points to one victim, Carolyn, who confided in Maxwell that her mother was an alcoholic and she was raped by her grandfather.
‘The defendant was aware of this knowledge and used it to subject Carolyn to a continuing cycle of sexual abuse.’
‘I acknowledge with that I have been a victim of helping Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes.’
I think the word she was looking for is “accomplice”, not “victim”.
I think there was a recommendation. It may still be up to the judge though.
Here’s a Bllomberg (blech) story on it.
19:25BST
Judge Nathan: The conduct ‘demands a substantial sentence’
‘The damage done to these young girls was incalculable,’ Nathan says.
‘The conduct ‘demands a substantial sentence’
‘A substantial sentence will send an unmistakable message that those who engage in the sexual abuse and trafficking of underage victims will be held accountable by the law.’
‘The rule of law demands, and this court agrees, that whether you are rich or powerful or entirely unknown, nobody is above the law.’
