A fresh trove of dozens of potentially damning Ghislaine Maxwell court documents was unsealed this week after the accused madam for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein lost her battle to keep them hidden.
The 52 documents released late Thursday mostly relate to a long-settled defamation lawsuit filed by one of Epstein and Maxwell’s most outspoken accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
They show Giuffre’s lawyers ripping the fallen British socialite for her “convenient and near-total amnesia” over a host of key questions and items of disclosure they have sought to try to use to tie her to Epstein’s abuse.
Maxwell’s “extraordinary lack of memory about her involvement in the abuse” was “further proof of malice,” the accuser’s lawyers asserted in the newly released documents.
“For instance, [Maxwell] cannot even recall a single flight on Epstein’s private jet with Ms. Giuffre, even though flight logs show that [Maxwell] had 23 flights with Ms. Giuffre while Ms. Giuffre was underage,” the lawyers said, with flight records also included in the documents.
Maxwell, 59, was also ridiculed for claiming she “could not recall the circumstances under which a photo was taken of her, Giuffre” and someone whose name was redacted from the document.
A now-notorious 2001 photo shows Maxwell grinning behind Giuffre as the then-17-year-old was being hugged by Britain’s Prince Andrew, whom she has said she was made to have sex with three times at Epstein and Maxwell’s bequest. It is unclear this is the photo being referred to.
“Based on [Maxwell’s] convenient and near-total amnesia about documented incriminating events alone, a reasonable jury could find that she acted deliberately and maliciously when she arranged for false and defamatory statements about Ms. Giuffre to be transmitted literally around the globe,” the lawyers added, referring to Maxwell calling their client a liar.
Giuffre’s lawyers also insisted that Maxwell — the daughter of late shamed press baron Robert Maxwell — should have been forced to share her financial records because they’d “show dependence on Epstein for financial support.”
Maxwell’s “efforts to conceal assets from the reach of this court proves consciousness of her guilt of sex trafficking,” they argued.
The latest batch of files also showed handwritten call logs of messages left for Epstein in the early 2000s, many from Maxwell — and about arranging massages for the late pedophile.
One of the calls appears to be from someone rescheduling an appointment for the afternoon because they “need to stay in school.”
Another mentions someone being in “college,” while one is from someone rescheduling because they want to go to the movies instead.
The calls also include a request for someone to stay at Epstein’s Florida mansion to “help train new staff with Ghislaine,” while one says a person is going to “meet with Ghislaine and go with her to the Ranch,” presumably referring to Epstein’s New Mexico estate.
Another section includes part of Maxwell’s deposition in the defamation case where she is asked about the ages of the women brought to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion for the rub-downs.
“The ones that I did recognize were roughly my age,” she replied. “The ones I don’t know, I wouldn’t have a clue.”
The document dumps also included a manuscript of Giuffre’s planned book, “The Billionaire’s Playboy Club,” which she has testified was “based on true events.
“Not everything is, you know, correct … I’d like to say a majority of it is correct,” she said in a deposition.
There was also portions of the explosive 2016 deposition of Rinaldo Rizzo, a former chef for hedge-fund manager Glenn Dubin, who claimed Epstein and Maxwell brought a disoriented 15-year-old Swedish girl to Dubin’s home.
Rizzo said the girl was left sitting on a barstool in the kitchen as he and his wife were preparing the evening meal.
“She proceeds to tell my wife and I that… ‘I was on an island, I was on the island and there was Ghislaine’” and another woman. “She said, ‘They asked me for sex, I said no,’ ” Rizzo claimed.
“And she is just rambling … And she says, ‘Yes, I was on [Epstein’s private] island, I don’t know how I got from the island to here,’ ” Rizzo testified.
“And I said this is nuts,” Rizzo said — with the girl allegedly adding that she did not have a phone and “Ghislaine took” her passport.
“At that point, she said that she was threatened … She says, ‘Yes, I was threatened by Ghislaine,’ ” he said.
Dubin and his wife, Eva Andersson Dubin — who had previously dated Epstein — have denied any knowledge of the late financier’s behavior.
Maxwell is awaiting criminal trial for allegedly procuring underage girls for Epstein to abuse in the 1990s and early 2000s.
She has been ordered detained pending trial and is locked up in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
She’s pleaded not guilty and has appealed five times to be released from jail pending trial — but has been rejected each time.
Prince Andrew has also vehemently denied any connection to Epstein’s depraved sex life.
Giuffre praised Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska for ruling to release the latest documents.
“Finally we are getting some transparency. There is hope,” Giuffre tweeted. “We must maintain vigilant in order for the truth to see the light of day,” she said.
