Where were her parents?
“Where were her parents?”
Maybe they were there...
The article plainly states it. “ Jane said she met Maxwell and Epstein in 1994, during the summer between 7th and 8th grade, when she was at music Camp Interlochen in Michigan. Her composer dad had died suddenly of leukemia about nine months earlier, and her family had lost their home.
She was sitting on a bench with her friends when a “tall, thin” woman came over with a “cute little” Yorkshire Terrier dog, and a man soon followed.
“[My] classmates left and I was there by myself eating my ice cream and the man sat across from me,” Jane recalled on the stand.
“He seemed very interested to know what I thought about the camp,” adding that he was a benefactor who gave musically gifted kids scholarships.
Asked who the man and woman were, she replied, “Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”
“They seemed very friendly. I thought they were a married couple, they seemed inquisitive,” she continued.
Back home in Palm Beach, “Jane” said she and her mom were invited over to Epstein’s “enormous house” for tea.

“It wasn’t a pool house,” she quipped on the stand when asked to describe the home, noting that at the time, she lived in a pool house with her three brothers and her mom, whom she shared a bed with.
For months after, the woman said she would hang out at Epstein’s home every week or two on average, spending time by the pool, in the kitchen or going to the movies.
She described once seeing Maxwell and other women lounging by the pool “all topless and some of them were naked.”
“I was just shocked because I hadn’t seen that before,” the woman said.
The witness said she thought Maxwell was “a little bit odd and quirky,” adding that she saw her as sort of an “older sister.”
“She would ask me what I was up to, if I had a boyfriend,” Jane testified, saying that Maxwell once told her about dating, “Once you f–k them you can always f–k them again because they’re grandfathered in.”
She described how Epstein and Maxwell took her shopping, including one time to Victoria’s Secret, where they bought her white cotton briefs. Epstein also started giving her cash on her visits to his home, and also began paying for voice lessons and bought her clothes and “things for school.” Both he and Maxwell would also brag about their famous friends.
“Initially, I felt special,” Jane said about the attention they showered on her.
“It changed when the abuse started happening.”
