The family of a key survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse urged President Donald Trump on Wednesday not to consider clemency for the late financier's co-conspirator and confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a sexual abuse advocate who died by suicide in April, made their plea to Trump in a public statement after he told reporters that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, "stole" Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where she worked as a locker-room attendant at age 16 during the summer of 2000.
Giuffre's family called Trump's admission "shocking" and questioned whether he was aware of Epstein's and Maxwell's actions.
It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwells criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.' We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this, the family added.

I think he's right. She really has nowhere to run.
If it was his niece or grandniece - I know what The Gio would do. Some mountain Calabrese shit with a side of 8 years in the Bronx.

She has literally accomplished nothing beyond that.
She belongs behind bars. She pissed and moaned about how she disliked the conditions there, and boo hoo hoo. Keep her in prison where she belongs.

Of course ALL of it is horrifying, but that aspect of it creeps me out more than anything else. She found these girls for Epstein, and she groomed them, but it didn't even almost stop there. I've read accounts of how she fully participated in sexual activities with Epstein and his victim du jour, coaching the girl on what to do to him and doing things to him AND to the girl in question herself. (Sorry if this is too much detail for anyone; it's hard to fully convey the nature of Maxwell's behavior without getting into some detail.)
In other words, she's wasn't only grooming these girls or bringing them to that pervert; she was and no doubt still is as big a pervert as he was. I think it's important not to lose sight of that. She's been called a monster, and I have to agree.

(20,153 posts)I am far less concerned about the "pardon" than the way she's attempting to receive it.
All you have to do is show up with your quid pro quo and the rest is a snap.
A disgusting snap, one of the most shameful moments in U.S. history.
