Maxwell, 58, allegedly sexually assaulted 16-year-old Annie Farmer at Epstein’s 7,500-acre ranch in New Mexico, according to the book by Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for more than 20 of Epstein’s victims. The book, from which we are summarising stories in The Mail on Sunday, details Maxwell’s alleged role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein. According to some accounts, she was even involved in some of the abuse herself. 1/6  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 7 of 161 Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, attending to an Alzheimer's Association event in New York in 2010 2/6  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 8 of 161 It raises serious questions as to why Maxwell, whose whereabouts have been a mystery for months, has never been charged with any wrongdoing. She has always maintained that allegations against her are abhorrent and untrue. The book also claims that: Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, was at the wedding of former US President Bill Clinton’s daughter Chelsea in July 2010, a year after Epstein was released from jail as a convicted sex offender; She loved to take nude photographs of girls and allegedly took many of the pictures displayed on the walls of Epstein’s mansions. According to one witness, she felt ‘indebted’ to Epstein for helping her following the mysterious death in 1991 of her father, disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell; Epstein ‘wasn’t beyond killing someone’ to keep his sex addiction alive, the witness claimed. Annie Farmer, now 40, helped keep Epstein behind bars last July after giving evidence about her ordeal as a teenager during a bail hearing. The financier was found dead in his cell the following month. Ms Farmer is now suing Epstein’s estate and Maxwell in the New York district court for damages. According to Ms Farmer’s testimony, detailed in the book, she was flown to the financier’s vast Zorro Ranch after he offered to pay for her to attend a summer educational programme in Thailand. 3/6  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 9 of 161 Prince Andrew pictured with his arm around Virginia Roberts, who has accused the Queen's 'favourite son' of having sex with her 4/6 The book sets out how Epstein and Maxwell took her shopping before returning to the ranch, where the teenager modelled a pair of cowboy boots they bought her.

In Quest Red's new true crime documentary special Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein? it is alleged that socialite Ghislaine Maxwell - Epstein's former partner - procured girls for Epstein to 'satisfy his insatiable sex drive.' Socialite writer Christina Oxenberg, 57, from the US, who is a friend of Maxwell, notes that Maxwell felt no guilt in procuring girls for his pleasure. 'She says he has an incredible sex drive, he has to have three orgasms a day, so I help him out by bringing in the females,' explains Christina. 'She felt no compunction about telling me this, if anything she was proud.' Christina is the daughter of a Serbian princess and sister of the Hollywood actress, Catherine Oxenberg - who rescued her eldest daughter India, now 28, from the Nxivm sex cult run by its leader, Keith Raniere, after an 18 month battle. India was among the women he recruited under the guise of offering them self-help courses. Her actress mother pulled her out of it in 2018 after fighting relentlessly in the press to expose Raniere and his practices. 1/12  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 16 of 161 Christina Oxenberg claims that Ghislaine Maxwell felt no guilt in procuring girls for Jeffrey Epstein to satisfy his 'incredible sex drive' in Quest Red's new true crime documentary special Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?

Friends say that the 58-year-old socialite, who is scheduled to appear before a judge in New York on Tuesday to be formally charged with procuring girls as young as 14 for Jeffrey Epstein – the serial paedophile and her former boyfriend – ‘is no Cruella de Vil’. Referring to the glamorous but evil character from the Disney film One Hundred And One Dalmatians, one friend told The Mail on Sunday: ‘This cartoon caricature of a villain she is being painted as is utterly untrue and false. 'This is a real human being with real feelings.’ 1/13  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 44 of 161 Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, has rounded on her accusers, insisting that her portrayal as a ‘cartoon caricature of a villain’ is utterly false Breaking a year-long silence since Epstein’s death, sources close to Maxwell have gone on the offensive to put her side of the story. After a year during which she was neither seen nor heard, her allies now reveal how she intends to salvage her liberty and reputation against claims that she supplied depraved Epstein with young girls. Maxwell’s allies have told The Mail on Sunday that she: Is not the person who introduced billionaire Epstein to Prince Andrew; Fears dying of Covid-19 while in prison; Insists she and Epstein had not met in person for 15 years; Weeps over friends who have lost jobs because of their association with her; Has not had a haircut in a year and is being moved ‘from cell-to-cell’ for her own safety. 2/13  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 45 of 161 Maxwell is scheduled to appear before a judge in New York on Tuesday to be formally charged with procuring girls as young as 14 for Jeffrey Epstein – the serial paedophile and her former boyfriend The daughter of the late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell will make global headlines on Tuesday when she appears in court via remote link from her New York jail cell. She will be formally charged with sex offences between 1994 and 1997 and will plead not guilty to them all. Her lawyers will argue for her release from the high-security Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on £4 million bail, arguing that her life is in danger from coronavirus and ‘multiple and credible’ death threats. Maxwell, who is a long-time friend of Prince Andrew and who saw him most recently in 2019, was arrested at her £800,000 New Hampshire hideaway on July 2. Prosecutor Audrey Strauss condemned her as ‘playing a critical role in finding and grooming victims’, while scores of Epstein’s victims claim that she acted as his ‘madam’, often driving from his £20 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, to nearby trailer parks to ‘procure’ vulnerable young girls for the paedophile. But last night a source close to Maxwell hit back, saying: ‘Ghislaine is no Cruella de Vil. She is being portrayed as this evil character and a cartoon-like villain but she is nothing like that. She is a real person and is determined to prove her innocence despite the fact that she has been characterised as some sort of monster.’ Maxwell insists that her romance with Epstein ended in 2001 and that she did not see him in person after 2005 when she was photographed with him at a party. At the time, she was dating billionaire Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt. 3/13  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 46 of 161 A source close to Maxwell hit back, saying: ‘Ghislaine is no Cruella de Vil'. Pictured: The character played by Glenn Close in the 1996 film 101 Dalmatians ‘The reality is that Ghislaine’s relationship with Epstein ended in 2001,’ says the friend. ‘Starting in late 2002, early 2003, she was dating Ted and she loved him deeply. Epstein kept trying to woo her back but she wasn’t interested.’ However, the friend adds, Maxwell continued to work for the twisted tycoon. ‘She hired Epstein’s pool guys, the IT guys. ‘She managed his household. They weren’t that close. It was a professional relationship.’ When Epstein negotiated an infamous plea deal, pleading guilty to two child sex prostitution charges in 2008 and serving just 13 months in prison – most on day release – 4/13 Maxwell did not visit him in jail, friends insist. Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 47 of 161 5/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 48 of 161 6/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 49 of 161 7/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 50 of 161 8/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 51 of 161 9/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 52 of 161 10/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 53 of 161 11/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 54 of 161 12/13 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 55 of 161 13/13  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 56 of 161 Four more women accused of supplying young girls for Epstein to abuse dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8513823/Four-women-accused-supplying-young-girls-Epstein-abuse.html July 12, 2020 Epstein's other 'recruiters': Four more women accused of supplying young girls for him to abuse face probe as it's revealed Ghislaine Maxwell moved house 36 times in a year before she was caught Sara Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff and Nadia Marcinkova are under investigation for their role in Epstein's sex-trafficking ring, according to reports The four women are accused of helping to procure and groom the girls In one case a previous victim went on to help groom other young women Ms Kellen, dubbed Maxwell's 'lieutenant', 'flew on the lolita express almost as many times as the disgraced couple' Reports suggest that Ms Maxwell moved 36 times before her arrest last week By Ryan Fahey For Mailonline Published: 20:46 EDT, 11 July 2020 | Updated: 09:08 EDT, 12 July 2020 e-mail 21k shares Four more women accused of supplying young girls for billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to abuse are facing investigation as it's revealed Ghislaine Maxwell moved house 36 times in a year before she was caught by the FBI.

U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan denied Maxwell's proposal of a $5 million bond co- signed by two of her sisters and backed up by more than $3.75 million in property in the UK. Maxwell's legal team had argued she would be confined to a 'luxury hotel' in the New York area, surrender all her travel documents and be subject to GPS monitoring. But Judge Nathan ruled the British socialite was a significant flight risk, citing her 'substantial international' ties and 'extraordinary financial resources', setting an anticipated trial date for July 12, 2021. Maxwell is accused of grooming girls as young as 14 for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 1997, a period when she was his girlfriend. She faces up to 35 years in prison if found guilty of the charges, as prosecutors successfully argued that along with her three passports, connections to some of the world's most powerful people and her own fortune of more than $10 million - Maxwell had every incentive to try and flee.

During the two hour and 20 minute hearing at Manhattan’s Federal Court, Maxwell appeared via video from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The small room she was in had white walls, a white bed, a window with frosted glass and a door at the back. She was wearing a dark brown prison issued top and her dark hair was far longer than in the past - she reportedly has not had a haircut in a year - and was swept behind her head in a bun. At the start of the hearing, Maxwell rested her elbows on a table in front of the camera and put her head on her hands. She appeared nervous and pensive and kept looking from side to side, as she leaned into the camera. Maxwell briefly spoke and only to confirm she could hear the judge and to enter her plea by saying: ‘Not guilty, your honor’. Her demeanor changed when prosecutor Alison Moe began outlining the allegations against her, sitting back in her chair and bowing her head when Moe accused her of ‘sexual abuse of minors’. With every allegation, Maxwell either scratched her face or moved her hair, but was emotionless as victim impact statements were read aloud. It wasn’t until Judge Nathan started reading her decision that Maxwell finally broke down. She began moving uneasily in her chair as the judge said the evidence against her was ‘strong’. When Judge Nathan said a ‘combination of factors’ showed she had the ‘motive and opportunity’ to flee before her trial, Maxwell wiped a tear away. The second tear fell as the judge said Maxwell was ‘sophisticated at hiding her financial resources’.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 72 of 161 +18 During the two hour and 20 minute hearing at Manhattan’s Federal Court, Maxwell appeared via video from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

When Judge Nathan said a ‘combination of factors’ showed she had the ‘motive and opportunity’ to flee before her trial, Maxwell wiped a tear away  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 73 of 161 For the rest of the decision, Maxwell rested her head in her hands as she had done at the start of the hearing. Maxwell sat though prosecutors detailing how she was 'skilled at living in hiding' and as two victims argued she was a flight risk, with one writing: 'Without Ghislaine, Jeffrey couldn't have done what he did. She is a predator and a monster.' Prosecutors argued against Maxwell being granted bail, citing that due to holding both French and British passports, she has the ability to 'live beyond the reach of extradition indefinitely'. Prosecutor Moe argued: 'She is good at living under an assumed identity. There really can be no question that she can live in hiding.' She revealed when Maxwell bought her $1 million home in Bradford, New Hampshire last December, she toured the property with a real estate agent using an alias. Moe said: 'The real estate agent told the FBI agent the buyers for the house introduced themselves as Scott and Janet Marshall. Both had British accents. 'Scott Marshall told her he was retired from the British military and was currently working on a book. Janet Marshall described herself as a journalist.' Last summer, DailyMail.com previously tracked down Maxwell in Manchester-by-the-Sea, living at a home owned by her tech CEO lover Scott Borgerson. It is unclear if the man who toured the New Hampshire home with Maxwell was Borgerson. Moe also read out a victim impact statement from a woman identified as Jane Doe, who also made the case that Maxwell was a flight risk. The victim said she knew Maxwell for 10 years and the socialite intended to 'deliver' her to Epstein, all the while knowing the 'heinous dehumanization that awaited me'. The woman claimed Maxwell 'was in charge' and 'egged' Epstein on. She described Maxwell as 'sociopathic' and said she would 'have done anything to get what she wanted - to satisfy Jeffrey Epstein'.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 74 of 161 +18 Victim Annie Farmer (pictured) also spoke at the hearing, detailing how she met Maxwell when she was 16 years old.

Farmer has previously gone on record with her claims against Maxwell. She said Maxwell 'has never shown any remorse [and] tormented her survivors... She has associates across the globe, some of great means.' Maxwell's attorney Mark Cohen tried to argue his client was not a flight risk, claiming she has community ties and is 'part of a very large and close family'. He said: 'Our client is not Jeffrey Epstein, and she has been the target of endless media spin', leading prosecutor Moe to later shoot back: 'These are the facts. It is not dirt, it is not spin, it is evidence to the court.' Cohen claimed Maxwell had received numerous threats and denied she had refused to open her front door to the FBI when they raided her home on July 2. He claimed her front door was unlocked, the windows were open and she had 'surrendered' to the agents. Addressing reports that Maxwell had wrapped her mobile phone in tin foil, which prosecutors called a 'seemingly misguided effort to evade detection' by law enforcement, Cohen claimed her phone had been hacked and she had to preserve the phone as evidence.

With her bail now denied, Maxwell will return to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Journalists had started lining up outside the federal court in downtown Manhattan at 6am to get a seat inside the courtroom. They were allowed in at 11.45am and had to stand 6ft apart while they waited to ensure social distancing. The hearing took place in the jury assembly room which normally has space for hundreds of people but had a dramatically reduced capacity of just 60 due to the coronavirus. A dial-in phone line allowed 1,000 more people to listen in - the capacity was increased from 500 due to world-wide interest. Inside the room there were two projector screens, which showed the proceedings live. All parties, including the judge, appeared remotely and no one was physically in court. Maxwell’s lawyer was visible at all times in a box on the screen. Maxwell had her own box, the judge had one and the prosecutors had another. Maxwell’s mugshot has not been released by the federal authorities and the hearing offered the first chance to see her in at least a year. Maxwell's whereabouts had largely been unknown since Epstein's arrest last July. Although DailyMail.com tracked her down to the New England coast last summer, she vanished again, later popping up in a photo at an In-N-Out in Los Angeles. The FBI managed to finally trace her down in the quiet and rural town of Bradford, New Hampshire earlier this month, where she had been living since December.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 78 of 161 +18 Maxwell’s mugshot has not been released by the federal authorities and the hearing offered the first chance to see her in at least a year.

They wrote that when the FBI arrived they were confronted by a locked gate which they forced their way through. The filing said: 'As the agents approached the front door to the main house, they announced themselves as FBI agents and directed the defendant to open the door. 'Through a window, the agents saw the defendant ignore the direction to open the door and, instead, try to flee to another room in the house, quickly shutting a door behind her. Agents were ultimately forced to breach the door in order to enter the house to arrest the defendant, who was found in an interior room in the house. 'Moreover, as the agents conducted a security sweep of the house, they also noticed a cell phone wrapped in tin foil on top of a desk, a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection, not by the press or public, which of course would have no ability to trace her phone or intercept her communications, but by law enforcement'.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 80 of 161 After Maxwell, the daughter of late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, was arrested the FBI spoke to a security guard who worked on the property who said that her brother had hired him from a company staffed with former British military soldiers. The filing states: 'The guard informed the FBI that the defendant had not left the property during his time working there, and that instead, the guard was sent to make purchases for the property using the credit card. As these facts make plain, there should be no question that the defendant is skilled at living in hiding'. In their filings to the court Maxwell's lawyers had argued that she is at increased risk of catching the coronavirus whilst in prison. So far there have only been five cases and no deaths at the prison. They claim that the restrictions on access to her lawyers caused by the pandemic would mean it was impossible for her to get a fair trial. The prosecutors said that in fact the prison had made substantial efforts to accommodate her and keep her safe. Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 81 of 161  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 82 of 161 +18 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 83 of 161  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 84 of 161 +18 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 85 of 161  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 86 of 161 +18 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 87 of 161  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 88 of 161 +18 Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 89 of 161  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 90 of 161 +18 New York prosecutors said in a filing Monday this was evidence that Maxwell was 'skilled at living in hiding' and should be denied bail +18 Her bail request (pictured) was filed in the US District Court in Manhattan and claims she was not 'hiding' from authorities, is not a flight risk and is at risk of contracting COVID-19 if she continues to be held in the Brooklyn jail The case against her is 'strong' and multiple victims have provided 'detailed, credible evidence of the defendant's criminal conduct' - with more women coming forward in the past week. The victims have made clear they want Maxwell remanded in custody and say they were 'directly abused as a result of Ghislaine Maxwell's actions'. The document states: 'While that conduct did take place a number of years ago, it is unsurprising that the victims have been unable to forget the defendant's predatory conduct after all this time, as traumatic childhood experiences often leave indelible marks.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 91 of 161 'The recollections of the victims bear striking resemblances that corroborate each other and provide compelling proof of the defendant's active participation in a disturbing scheme to groom and sexually abuse minor girls'. The prosecutors said that it was 'curious' that Maxwell claimed to have access to millions of dollars had not offered 'a single dime' as collateral for her bond. They claimed that Maxwell's finances were 'completely opaque' and she had not even indicated which properties she would use for her bond. Some of the co-signers are 'themselves so wealthy that it would be no financial burden whatsoever' if they lost their $5 million by Maxwell skipping bail, the document states. Epstein's victims have long demanded Maxwell's arrest and lawyers for them say that a slew of new accusers have come forward since she was apprehended. Prosecutors will likely be looking to do a plea deal with Maxwell to lighten some of the six charges against her, two of which are perjury for allegedly lying during depositions. They will be questioning her about powerful men in Epstein's orbit including Bill Clinton with whom she flew on Epstein's private jet, called the 'Lolita Express', on a tour of Africa in 2002. Maxwell was also good friends with Prince Andrew and one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts, claims she was loaned out to the Duke three times for sex when she was 17.  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 92 of 161 Ghislaine Maxwell's attack-the-victim strategy may backfire bnnbloomberg.ca /ghislaine-maxwell-may-play-the-victim-card-in-trial-defense-1.1465631 July 15, 2020 Ghislaine Maxwell Photographer: Laura Cavanaugh/Getty Images , Photographer: Laura Cavanaugh/Getty Images The bail hearing for Ghislaine Maxwell ended with a judge ruling that she must spend the next year behind bars awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges tied to her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein. But it also offered hints at her defense strategy. During the two-hour video-conference hearing Tuesday, Maxwell’s lawyers questioned the credibility of her accusers as well as the strength of the government’s case. While the arguments were designed to win bail, they’ll likely be the same ones used at the 58-year-old’s trial, which is scheduled to start next July. The federal charges stem from events that are more than two decades old, Maxwell’s lawyer, Mark Cohen, said, noting that the government doesn’t have “tapes or video” or other such evidence to support the allegations. “Absolutely, the defense is telegraphing where they’re going,” said David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who listened in on Maxwell’s hearing. “While the defense isn’t putting all of their cards on the table, they showed they’re going to argue that she was as 1/3  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 93 of 161 much a victim of Epstein -- much in the same way as these girls were -- and that she didn’t know what was going on behind closed doors.” Cohen briefly took aim at Annie Farmer, one of Maxwell’s accusers. He said she has sued Maxwell and is seeking a payout from a fund set up for Epstein’s victims, Cohen said. Established in May, Epstein’s victims can be compensated by the financier’s estate, valued at more than US$600 million. That’s a dangerous tactic that might backfire at trial, said David Boies, who represents Farmer and several other women who say they were sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell. It’s “a tone-deaf argument” that cost Maxwell her credibility, said Boies, who listened to the hearing remotely. “To mount a ‘blame the victim’ defense, particularly in today’s world and trying to blame these girls for what happened is so contrary to the evidence, is so contrary to people’s normal sense of morality,” Boies said. “I think that’s just going to enrage a jury if she goes to trial -- which I would not do if I were representing her.” Boies said he was confident Farmer would stand up to cross-examination if there’s a trial. Farmer, who addressed the court by telephone, urged the judge not to grant Maxwell bail, calling her a “sexual predator who groomed and abused me.” Maxwell “lied under oath and tormented her survivors,” Farmer said. Boies said that Farmer was a 16-year-old who “wanted to go to college” when she met Maxwell. “Maxwell and Epstein tell Annie and her mother ‘we’re having a group of high school students to this ranch to help them get into college,”’ Boies said. “But when Annie gets there, there are no high school students, all these claims are fraudulent and she’s in this isolated place in New Mexico.” Remote Hearing Because of the pandemic, Maxwell’s hearing was held remotely with press and the public permitted to hear arguments over the phone. About 60 members of the press were allowed to watch the proceeding on monitors in a jury room in the Manhattan courthouse, with the judge, lawyers and Maxwell all in different locations. Prosecutors also offered detail on their evidence, saying they have travel records, photographs and other documents that will support the charges. 2/3  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 94 of 161 Along with Farmer’s remarks, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe read from a letter written by another of Maxwell’s alleged victims, who asked to be identified only as Jane Doe. It’s possible that the woman may testify at the trial as well. “Without Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein could not have done what he did; she egged him on,” the woman said in the letter. She called Maxwell “a monster.” The judge scheduled the trial for July 12. The defense must file its pretrial motions by Dec. 21. --With assistance from Bob Van Voris. 3/3  Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1078-5 Filed 07/29/20 Page 95 of 161 Ghislaine Maxwell's neighbours tried to make her leave town dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8525759/Neighbors-Ghislaine-Maxwell-lover-tried-ostracize-couple-make-leave- town.html July 16, 2020 Ghislaine Maxwell had been living with her tech CEO lover Scott Borgerson at his home in Manchester-by-the-Sea outside of Boston until last December In February 2019 neighbors learned the quiet, well-dressed woman in their midst had been accused of procuring young girls for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein 'They were absolutely appalled to learn who they were allowing to have the run of their property,' one resident exclusively told DailyMail.com Neighbors tried to harass and 'ostracize' Maxwell into leaving, and make her and Borgerson 'feel they weren't welcome on Sharksmouth or in Manchester' It led to a court case where Borgerson successfully fought the neighbors' decision to stop them from using paths and a beach near the home that were part of a 40-acre estate with other homes A judge only made his ruling on March 11 this year, three months after Maxwell had left Sharksmouth for good, moving to her hideaway in Bradford, NH Borgerson is believed to have met Maxwell six years ago through speaking engagements connected to ocean preservation They were both pictured speaking at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2014 Ghislaine Maxwell 's neighbors were so disgusted when they discovered an accused sex trafficker was living among them that they tried to harass her into leaving, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

But the decision was not handed down until after Maxwell, 58, had already left for her new life of seclusion in neighboring New Hampshire.
