The Strange World of Jeffrey Epstein

We'll never know now as he paid her $12 million to shut up.

The empathy for a mate of Epstein, Maxwell, Clinton and Spacey is amazing.

The power of the Royal family.

Actually my judgement is not clouded by Queen tinted spectacles.

I don't think believing is the case, it's because their Kingdom is at stake. 

I think he's just being being black mailed, he's an easier pawn comparing to Killary & her hubby whose body count is higher than the Italian Mobs.

Nah.

He's like the rest of his family.

Sex with anything is fine.

(Edward VII is a good example).

Parasites.

Oh...

The Royal Family are scum.

100% self interested.

See above video.

Hey... the Royal world you think you live in is not the world you live in.

Well the suicide happened in the part of the prison which was reportedly not overlooked by the cctv. how quite convenient just like in Epstein's suicide.

What... a... convenience...

Inside the quiet suburban housewife life of Virginia Giuffre

After a public battle with the Duke of York, the campaigner is living under the radar – with up to £10 million heading her way

It’s unlikely that many residents of the small, laid-back Ocean Reef community (population: 8,000) know the blonde mother with a slight American accent who lives quietly in the large detached home by the beach – and who is about to receive a life-changing sum of money after alleging she was trafficked for sex to the Duke of York.

Amid the furore surrounding the out-of-court settlement reached in the civil case against Prince Andrew, his accuser Virginia Giuffre spent last week hidden from public view, as usual, in remote seclusion in Western Australia.

The 38-year-old has effectively been calling the shots about the future trajectory of the life, and reputation, of the Duke of York by phone and Zoom meetings, from behind the 10ft-high security gates of her beachside mansion situated on the outskirts of one of the most remote cities on earth.

While the Duke prepares to pay a hugely embarrassing bill rumoured to be £12 million, the advocate and mother-of-three has been tucked away in her luxurious six-bedroom home, 12 miles up the coast north of Perth. Giuffre is as far away as possible from the ugly fallout, privy only to the sound of the gentle waves of the Indian Ocean from her terrace overlooking endless white sands.

It is here that she walks her dog, Juno, each day – one of her many coping methods, she says, that she developed to try to recover from the memories of her two years as a teenage sex trafficking victim at the hands of convicted late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In late 2020, Giuffre purchased the $1.9 million AUD (£1m) property, which is believed to have been possibly funded by previous large out-of-court settlements related to Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The residence comes with a deluxe, upper-level master suite and parents’ retreat, with an entertainment room, a spa, huge walk-in wardrobe, a balcony overlooking the sea and even a “make-up nook”.

By all accounts, Giuffre has largely kept to herself, apart from occasional trips to the shops, hairdressers and ferrying her three busy teenage children – two sons in their mid to late teens, and a daughter aged 12 – to school and to their various sporting and social activities.

Sometimes, friends of her children look her up on Google, leaving her to have to explain and reassure her brood yet again exactly why she is currently one of the most famous household names in the world.

“They have friends that say: ‘Oh my god, is this your mum?’ ” Giuffre explained in an interview with New York website The Cut in December. “It’s a lot for them to carry. But they’re teenagers. They’re at that prime era in life where I think it’s important to teach them about sex trafficking.”

As well as the ability to live a life largely unnoticed in Western Australia, Giuffre also does regular therapy sessions and yoga, as she revealed just recently, to ease what she describes as sleepless nights routinely disturbed by vivid dreams about her abusers.

“I’m doing as many things to clear my mind as possible so that I can be sharp and focused when it matters,” she said.

Giuffre, who has said in the past she endured a troubled childhood dominated by other abuse incidents and time spent in foster homes, also spends time reading messages from victims of abuse who contact her through her advocacy organisation SOAR, short for “Speak Out, Act, Reclaim”. It is believed that it is to this organisation that Prince Andrew has made a donation as part of the confidential settlement.

Her husband Robert – a martial arts expert who is reported to work on the “fringes of the fashion industry” – was last week seen leaving the family’s white-painted property to buy supplies of beer and food, while his wife remained out of view. The Telegraph could not confirm whether the couple were currently in regular paid employment.

But it is clear that it was Robert, an Australian native, who saved Giuffre when they fell in love and married, just 10 days later, in Thailand in 2002, after Epstein paid for her to fly to the country to do a massage course. And it is Robert who has been fundamental in supporting his wife during her decade fighting for both justice and other victims of sexual predators.

The couple first set up their new life together in the Central Coast of New South Wales where they started a family and made a home for 11 years. The family were reported to have relocated to the United States in November 2013, initially living in Florida, and later in Colorado.

Six years later, the family returned to Australia, basing themselves in Cairns, a popular gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, before their latest move to Western Australia.

Giuffre has never confirmed why she chose to make her home in a state comprised mostly of arid outback, and at the furthest point away from where she had previously settled in Queensland. But she was certainly delighted by the purchase, marking the family’s delight with a smiling Instagram post in front of a “Sold” sign.

The estate agent who sold Giuffre the family’s beachside property in December 2020 told The Telegraph that the area is “very community-based and close-knit”.

Certainly, the relaxed, some say sleepy lifestyle in sunny Ocean Reef is a world away from the tense arguments that would have been playing out behind closed doors between legal teams in recent weeks.

“A lot of people joke they are happy to live and die here because you don’t ever need to leave Ocean Reef,” says Pauline Lyon of Peard Real Estate. “Over here, you’re on another planet. That’s the reason why a lot of people come to Western Australia – they can see how easy our lives have been without all the lockdowns, due to our strict border controls.”

So what now for Virginia Giuffre? Despite having struck a deal with the Duke, there is little chance of her legal battles ending any time soon. Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s former lawyer, is currently being sued by Giuffre for defamation; however, he denies all wrongdoing and is, in fact, counter-suing Giuffre. The constant legal bills must be eye-watering.

But at least she can pull up the drawbridge in Ocean Reef. With her children having settled into their new schools, it seems unlikely she’d uproot them for one of the more fancy, exclusive suburbs closer to the city, such as Cottesloe or Peppermint Grove.

“Staying put means she can certainly just stay under the radar,” says one Perth media expert. “She doesn’t seem to be seeking a lifestyle where she mixes in trendy restaurants and boutiques with the local mining magnates and celebrities.”

Under the radar for now, perhaps – but with up to £12 million heading in her direction after bringing down a Duke, a victorious Giuffre could soon have an unofficial royal title among the locals: ‘The Duchess of Ocean Reef’.

Prince Andrew has a "dear friend" called Keith Gleed.

Look him up.

How many pervy friends can one man have?

20 years sentence for Maxwell.

Is she still alive ???? No pictures of her for almost a year…… the one sat in a window was faked

Ghislaine Maxwell sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls: Prosecutors said Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial, sexually abused children hundreds of times over more [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]than a decade, and couldn’t have done so without the help of Maxwell, his longtime companion and onetime girlfriend. In December, a jury convicted Maxwell of sex trafficking, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts and two conspiracy charges. Prosecutors called Maxwell’s shifting of blame to Epstein “absurd and offensive.”
– U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan, who also imposed a $750,000 fine, said “a very significant sentence is necessary” and that she wanted to send an “unmistakable message” that these kinds of crimes would be punished. Prosecutors had asked the judge to give her 30 to 55 years in prison, while Maxwell’s defense sought a lenient sentence of just five years.

And in every other paper across the world.

Interesting note.
This is a FEDERAL Case, and she will serve her time in a Federal prison.
There is NO PAROLE in Federal cases.
She will therefore serve the entire 20 years
She is now 60.

Certainly won’t if she starts blabbing

She's been in prison - not much opportunity there for a photo-shoot. She's taking the flack for Epstein's sexploits - there is always a stooge when matters of sexual abuse hit the headlines.  

Think how many necks her sentence has saved.

I imagine her remorse is scripted and well intentioned, the rest of her life behind bars must be a pretty daunting prospect for a socialite - hardened or otherwise.

“That noise!,” gasped Christopher Mason, a former friend of Maxwell’s from her New York high-society days, who was seated next to me in the public gallery of the Thurgood Marshall federal courthouse.

Victims of Maxwell and boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein looked at each other and smirked in a shared acknowledgement of the British heiress’s completed fall from grace.

If that short statement doesn't tell all anyone needs to know - what does.

This is not, nor has ever been, about justice.

A victim said Maxwell stroked her boobies when she was sixteen.

She then allowed the grooming to continue, willingly presenting herself as a sex sacrifice to Epstein in exchange for a palm of silver or a trinket all shite and briny?

Bah, it stinks.

Prince Andrew accuser says she 'may have made a mistake' as she drops lawsuit against Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer who once represented Jeffrey Epstein, commended Virginia Giuffre for her “courage”

Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre has dropped a lawsuit against a high-profile lawyer and one-time Donald Trump attorney, saying she may have made a mistake in accusing him.

Ms Giuffre agreed to withdraw her defamation suit against Harvard law emeritus Alan Dershowitz, who had counter-sued Ms Giuffre over her allegations he sexually abused her as a teenager. It is understood no payments were made by either side.

Ms Giuffre claims she held as virtual sex slave by Jeffrey Epstein and abused by him, his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, and members of their social circle over a number of years from the age of 17.

She brought the claim against Mr Dershowitz in New York in 2019, claiming emotional distress after he called her a “complete, total liar”.



Mr Dershowitz, who has represented the former president Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, OJ Simpson and a host of other prominent figures in his long legal career, always fiercely denied the accusations.

In a joint statement released by the two on Tuesday, Ms Giuffre, who now lives in Australia, recognised she “may have made a mistake”.

Ms Giuffre said that she had "long believed" Epstein had trafficked her Mr Dershowitz.

"However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment, and Mr. Dershowitz has from the beginning consistently denied these allegations," she wrote. "I now recognize I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz. This litigation has been very stressful and burdensome for me and my family, and we believe it is time to bring it to an end and move on with our lives."

It included comments from Mr Dershowitz, 84, who commended Ms Giuffre for her “courage” in saying she may have been mistaken.

“She has suffered much at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and I commend her work combating the evil of sex trafficking,” Mr Dershowitz said in his own statement.

The development will raise questions about Ms Giuffre’s reliability. The now 39-year-old settled a civil suit with the Duke of York earlier this year for over $12 million.

Prince Andrew did not admit guilt; he released a statement saying that he “regrets his association with Epstein and commends the bravery of Ms Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others”.

In the weeks before the case was settled, the Duke’s legal team highlighted reported inconsistencies in Ms Giuffre’s telling of the story of the alleged sexual encounter in 2001.

Supporters of Mr Dershowitz suggested on Tuesday night that he was simply relieved that the litigation, which began in December 2014, was finally over and that he could get on with his life.

It is thought that Ms Giuffre’s lawyers advised her to settle after questions were raised during the discovery process.

“As I have said from the beginning, I never had sex with Ms. Giuffre,” Mr Dersowitz said in his statement. “I have nevertheless come to believe that at the time she accused me she believed what she said. Ms. Giuffre is to be commended for her courage in now stating publicly that she may have been mistaken about me. She has suffered much at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, and I commend her work combating the evil of sex trafficking.”

Before Epstein’s 2019 death in a Manhattan jail cell, Ms Giuffre sued him too, receiving $500,000 in a settlement.

Mr Dershowitz had previously stated he had no intention of settling before the case reached trial: “There’s no chance in a million that I would settle this case without her making a complete admission that she has lied about me,” he said.
