Summary

Was Jeffrey Epstein given a reprieve from prosecution to continue molesting young girls? The allegation emerged in documents that were unsealed as part of the sex-trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate. Maxwell allegedly took sexually explicit photographs of teenage girls and gave them to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday. The records show that in February 2016, attorneys for one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, informed federal prosecutors that Maxwell had taken the images of the girl when she was just 16 years old. Epstein by this time had already pleaded guilty to prostitution under state law in Florida, but he had avoided federal charges under a non-prosecution agreement.

Take a listen to this.

He said that he could get me into the fashion institute of technology and that he knew that he could get me straight in,

1:12.4

he had paid for my schooling and I know that they didn't even phone if I tea. That was never going to happen.

1:19.4

They went out of their way to play games to make you believe. I mean they helped me on my essay.

1:26.4

It was just all a big lie and just complete manipulation.

1:32.4

You are hearing Sierra Ransom, the Miami-Herald, just cracked this thing wide open and according to reports,

1:42.4

it was only because Epstein was busted by the Miami-Herald, not prosecutors who sat by and twiddled their thorns for three years,

but only when it became public when they were outed having done nothing since Epstein's sweetheart deal, allowing Epstein to go on to molest how many more young girls only when the Miami-Herald busted them,

Charlie, this is very, very disturbing. It's one thing to think of a millionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, molesting girls in his mansion, which was just torn down by the way, thank God.

2:58.4

It's another thing to think of Gillian Maxwell as such like girlfriend, egging the girls on, standing by, smiling, and seeing molested them, sometimes taking part according to them.

3:10.4

It's a whole nother ballgame to think federal prosecutors sat on their thumbs doing nothing.

3:18.4

Isn't it true, Charlie, that they were given information that Gillian Maxwell to nude photos of a young girl, nude photos, explicit photos, and gave them to Jeffrey Epstein as a birthday gift.
