Convicted Sex-Trafficker of Children Moved to Nicer Prison

Ghislaine Maxwell, a former business "associate" of convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, and who was herself serving a twenty-year prison sentence at a minimum security prison in Florida for sex-trafficking, including one count of sex-trafficking a minor, has been moved to an even lower security prison in Texas, one where she will be nearer to members of her family and live in more relaxed conditions.  The move, which occurred earlier this week, was not announced by the Department of Justice or the Bureau of Prisons, but instead was discovered by a New York newspaper and was confirmed yesterday by an official with the Bureau of Prisons.  Her attorney also confirmed the move.

The Bureau of Prisons has a policy in place that prohibits sex offenders from being placed in low security prisons, but it is a policy that can be overridden through a special process.

Maxwell's attorneys are currently maneuvering to get the US Supreme Court to overturn her conviction, and they are also pursuing a pardon by President Trump, whom Maxwell knows personally.  Trump has said that he has the ability to pardon Maxwell but that he does not intend to do it.

Last week Ghislaine Maxwell was interviewed for nine hours over two days by Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche, who also happens to be a former personal defense attorney of Donald Trup and who was appointed to his current position by Trump.  Blanche interviewed her at the prison in Florida before she was moved to nicer accommodations in Texas.

Families of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are understandably upset at what appears to be the government catering to Maxwell's personal convenience and comfort.  They fear there is some sort of deal going on between the Department of Justice and the Trump Administration to keep Maxwell silent, and that the move to a nicer prison is a part of that deal.

The family of Virginia Giuffre is especially angry over what they see as a major cover-up.  Giuffre was a 16-year-old spa attendant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida who Trump this week stated that Jeffrey Epstein had "stolen"  from his employment.  Trump said that Epstein's pilfering of his employees had led to the end of their friendship and Trump expelling Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

It is unclear why Mar-a-Lago would hire a 16-year-old to work as a spa attendant.  Perhaps that is a question reporters should be asking.

Virginia Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year.  She was on record as saying that Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her from Mar-a-Lago in 2000 to work as a personal masseuse for Jeffrey Epstein and that he then sex-trafficked her to rich and powerful men, including Britain's Prince Andrew.

Yesterday, Virginia Giuffre's siblings and a former Epstein employee and one of his former victims, issued a statement regarding Ghislaine Maxwell's upgrade in prison accommodations which read in part:

"It is with horror and outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has received.  Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions and she should never be shown any leniency."

It does feel as though someone might be receiving special treatment, perhaps a reward for not telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

The sordid story of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell rolls on.
