Federal prosecutors have released fresh evidence on Wednesday which shows that Ghislaine Maxwell was once photographed rubbing Jeffrey Epstein’s feet on one of his private jets. In the photos, Maxwell’s breasts spilled out of her skimpy top.
The racy photos, which were brought into evidence on Tuesday, were recovered during an FBI raid at Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion in 2019, according to FBI analyst Kimberly Meder’s testimony.
One of the photos shows Maxwell kissing Epstein on his cheek; a second one shows them in front of a beach, while another shows them on what appears to be a street in Europe.
One photo shows Epstein with his arm wrapped around Maxwell with a cellphone to his ear. Another snap shows Epstein holding Maxwell while he’s wearing what appears to be a red skiing outfit.
The snaps include three photos of Maxwell rubbing Epstein’s feet aboard what appears to be one of his private jets.
Those pictures show Maxwell holding Epstein’s foot up to her breasts while her cleavage is exposed from a white tank top she wore.
Throughout Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial, prosecutors have sought to paint Epstein and the disgraced British socialite as “partners in crime” as the late American financier and convicted sex offender sexually abused underage girls from 1994 to 2004.
In all cases, Maxwell used massages as a ruse to lure underage girls for her partner to sexually abuse, according to the Post.
At times, Maxwell herself would take part in the abuse, two victims have testified. However, even in her absence, she had a hand in the abuse, Laura Pomerantz, assistant US Attorney, said in her opening statements.
“Even when she was not in the room, make no mistake, she knew exactly what Epstein was going to do to those children when she sent them to him inside the massage rooms, massage rooms inside the houses the defendant ran for over a decade,” Laura said. “When the defendant sent a 14-year-old girl into a massage room with an adult man, she knew exactly what was going to happen,” she continued, adding that Maxwell was “essential” to the scheme.
Maxwell faces charges of grooming three teenage girls for Epstein to abuse from 1994 to 2004.
A fourth accuser who was initially listed among the victims in the formal charge was determined to be above the age of consent when she was sexual abused by Epstein — and therefore is no longer considered a victim in the case.
One of the victims had testified on Tuesday that she was 14 when she started having sex with Jeffrey Epstein and that Ghislaine Maxwell personally inspected her body.
“She came in and felt my boobs and my hips and my buttocks and said I had a great body for Mr. Epstein and his friends,” the victim, who is being identified as “Carolyn,” said at Maxwell’s child sex trafficking trial in New York City, according to NBC News.
Maxwell, however, has pleaded not guilty and maintains her innocence.
The prosecution is expected to rest its case before the weekend, and Maxwell’s defense team has said it intends to call witnesses during its case.
