History

Historical Context

Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 arrest for sex trafficking marked a significant moment in the ongoing fallout from Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, which began with his 2019 arrest. Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser, alleged that Maxwell groomed her for Epstein's abuse starting in 1999. The scandal has prompted calls for accountability from figures like Rep.
