Testimony showing Ghislaine Maxwell claiming to have never given a massage to her perverted ex Jeffrey Epstein — or to anyone else — was unsealed in a civil case Thursday, after she lost a legal fight to keep it under wraps.
The excerpt — which is at the heart of a perjury case against the British socialite and alleged madam — was part of a July 2016 deposition Maxwell gave in a civil defamation suit brought against her by Virginia Giuffre, who claims she was recruited by Maxwell to be abused by Epstein and his associates.
“Did you ever give a massage to anyone other than Mr. Epstein at any of Mr. Epstein’s properties?” an attorney for Giuffre asked Maxwell.
“First of all, I never said I gave Mr. Epstein a massage,” Maxwell responded.
“I don’t give massages,” she added.
“Let’s just tie that down. It is your testimony that you’ve never given anybody a massage?” the attorney responded.
“I have not given anyone a massage,” Maxwell said.
Part of the excerpt is included in the Southern District of New York criminal indictment against Maxwell, who faces two perjury charges and four charges related to her allegedly procuring young women for Epstein to abuse.
The feds allege she knowingly lied about the massages.
Maxwell’s attorneys had nevertheless sought to keep the excerpt redacted in the civil case, but Judge Loretta Preska ruled earlier this week that it should be made public because it does not deal with consensual sexual activity between adults.
Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to all the counts she is facing. She’s awaiting trial in federal jail in Brooklyn.

She doesn’t submit to forcible massage!
My quick assessment —
People might want to know if Epstein killed himself. They might be curious about sex trafficking. Child prostitution. Influence peddling. Blackmail of prominent politicians. The possible involvement of household names from Hollywood may be a point of interest here.
But, in the end, the only thing really worth investigating is: Did Ghiselle give anyone a massage?
And the answer is “No”, so we can all move on.
it could be her using the Crocodile Dundee “that’s not a knife” or the Bill Clinton “it depends on what the definition of is, is” response
Straight to the happy ending.
It’s very strange ClearCase but part of the perjury charge. Much more to come I suspect...
Jerking off is now a massage ?
