As mendacious mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell is set to rot in the clink for 20 years, her mouthy mucker mate Prince Andrew may be arrested by the FBI
The non-sweating nosebag nosher who paid £12 million to a woman he supposedly never met Prince Andrew may never be able to set foot on American soil again.
The Duke of York – whose coffin dodging chum Bernie Ecclestone again shoved his hooves in the proverbial yesterday by again senselessly claiming he’d “take a bullet for Putin” – is, the New York Post revealed, to be targeted by lawyers for victims of his late croaked paedophile bestie, Jeffrey Epstein, and his now incarcerated co-collaborator and convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Of this juicy development for the non-sweating “favourite” son of the Queen, Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer for several of the victims of Epstein and Maxwell, told the Mirror: “Obviously, Andrew is one of the targets they will be looking into. He should definitely be concerned, but, if he did nothing wrong, then come forward and tell the full story to the FBI, not the media.”
The paper’s United States editor Christopher Bucktin observed: “Mr Kuvin named other targets, which included another Briton” and going further the lawyer who secured Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s out-of-court settlement with the royal, Brad Edwards, stated: “Let’s hope they’re the next target. If we have anything to do with it, they will be.”
Speaking to The Sun subsequently, Kuvin surmised: “Anyone who took advantage of a minor as a result of being provided that minor by Mr Epstein or Ms Maxwell should be prosecuted as well.”
“It is highly unlikely an extradition would ever occur, so the Prince would have to be here in the US and be arrested while he’s here.”
“Tell Prince Andrew he should spend the summer here in the US. Come on over to vacation.”
Contrasting elsewhere and yet again sticking her oar in where it is not wanted, Lady Victoria Hervey has been doing the rounds with appearances on Channel 5 News and GB News to again claim the 2001 photograph of the then Miss Roberts and Prince Andrew at Ghislaine Maxwell’s then Belgravia home to be a fake.
Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this morning, the aristocrat laughably concluded: “It’s so sad what’s happened to Andrew.”
In other news on Friday in ‘The Sun,’ the prince was slammed by Paul Page, a Buckingham Palace armed protection officer in the 1990s and 2000s. He observed: “He’s a self-absorbed, obnoxious, horrible little man who is disrespectful to those below him… Andrew has something to hide and he has questions to answer – but I don’t think he will ever be in a position where he will have to answer them because of who he is. He’s got the ‘HRH’ title in front of his name, Ghislaine hasn’t – where is she? Jail. Where is he? At home. Simple as that.” Speaking previously of the relationship between his former boss and Ghislaine Maxwell, the former police officer stated: “From the way she was allowed to enter and exit the palace, at will, we realised… suspected, that she may have had an intimate relationship with Prince Andrew. A colleague of mine remembered her coming in four times in one day from the morning till the evening – she kept coming in and out, in and out.”Twitter users called for the FBI to go after ‘Randy Andy’ with one remarking: “WHY should Prince Andrew be allowed to avoid prosecution? By paying the women he allegedly abused, he’s admitted guilt. I hope the FBI keep chasing him down.” Another added: “If Ghislaine Maxwell was a British Princess and Prince Andrew was just a ‘socialite,’ Ghislaine would be walking free right now and Andrew would be spending 20 years in prison. Being royalty is a Get Out of Jail Free card.”Whilst Lady Victoria Hervey may peddle her belief that the photograph taken of Prince Andrew, the then Virginia Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell at 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, London, SW1 on the evening of the 10th March 2001 is a fake, others including the photographer who photographed the original photograph in 2011, New Zealander Michael Thomas, takes an entirely different view. Speaking to the ‘New Zealand Herald’ in February, Thomas remarked: “As I have said before, it was just an ordinary photo you would have got from a chemist in the days of negatives. Surely, if it was fake, every media outlet in the world would be getting sued for using it. The fact that isn’t happening, to me says everything.” Of the image, previously in 2019, Thomas commented: “It wasn’t like she pulled the photo of Prince Andrew out, it was just in among the rest of them. They were just typical teenage snaps. There’s no way that photo is fake.”
As convicted mucky madam nonce Ghislaine Maxwell begins her 20-year jail sentence, it is not surprising that no prisoners want to share a dorm with her; her prison diaries will deservedly make for grim reading
Life used to be swell for a woman generally termed a “socialite” Ghislaine Maxwell. She had ponies and privileges and was educated alongside disgraced former chief of the Met Police Dame Cressida Dick, disgraceful Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his equally disgraceful, batshit bonkers sister, Rachel.
Now deservedly chucked in the clink for 20 years for abusing multiple victims and fined a paltry £618,000 ($750,000, €719,000 or درهم2.8 million) given her likely in excess of £19 million ($23 million, €22 million or درهم84 million) fortune, the MailOnline’s Jack Newman this morning reported that the daughter of the pension pot plunderer “has been warned she faces ‘getting the s*** beaten out of her’ in Danbury prison.”
Other inmates at the Connecticut minimum security federal institution – nicknamed ‘Club Fed’ given it supposedly being a bit more “cushy” than other prisons and which served as the inspiration for Orange is the New Black – “are already preparing for the arrival of the new famous convict and the prison will ‘not be a picnic’ for her,” Newman revealed.
A former inmate, mortgage fraudster Jacqueline Polverari, yesterday told the New York Post: “She will have a rough six to eight months” before adding:
“I’ve already gotten emails from women who wrote to say that they ‘hear Maxwell will be coming this way.’ They’re preparing for her arrival, already requesting that they don’t want her in their dorms. And the camp counselor won’t put Maxwell where she is not wanted, for fear that she may get hurt.”
“Women are worse than men about [prisoners convicted of] sex crimes. You have mothers there. They see a white woman charged with a sex crime and they think any one of their children could have been her victim. She [Maxwell] would get a lot of flak. She would get the s–t beaten out of her a bunch of times.”
““If [she] is smart she will hire a consultant to set her up with people inside. Teresa Giudice [a Real Housewives of New Jersey ‘star’ turned convicted fraudster] had that. She had a mentor set up inside. Somebody waited for her. She had a mentor walking her around, someone to say she is off-limits.”
“But that can backfire. People looked at Teresa, like, ‘Who the hell is she? She’s hiring somebody and now we can’t speak with her directly?’ That was a negative. Plus all the people who didn’t like the mentor instantly didn’t like Teresa.”
“It was as though she thought she was better than everyone else. Women can be catty. It took a few months before her big mouth got her into humiliating situations. On the phone, she was heard saying, ‘Prison is hell.’ Other prisoners asked, ‘Who is she to say that?’ Then they started taking pictures of her without makeup or hair extensions.”
Polverari also shared with the paper that vegan Maxwell will have to “eat like everybody else” whilst her brother, Ian, curiously enthused: “Frankly, getting… out of the hell hole of MDC must be an absolute priority.”
Going further of this high-profile prisoner, Larry Levine, the founder of Pink Lady Prison Consultants, added:
“She does not have a popular crime. People will try to take her out. They will try to beat the crap out of her.”
“[Prison officials] will want to put her in protective custody at Hazelton [ a West Virginia medium security prison].”
“If somebody from the outside pays off somebody who has a relative in prison, maybe somebody already serving a life sentence, they could put a sheet over her head, sharpen a toothbrush and stab this b**ch.”
“Can you imagine the uproar if she gets killed?”
Wherever she ends up, it won’t be an easy ride for this mucky madam sex trafficker, but one thing is for sure. Her prison diaries will make those of Jonathan Aitken and Jeffrey Archer look like a walk in the park.
Pictured top – The decidedly deviant and definitely off-her-merry-rocker one-time lover of Jeffrey Epstein in happier times living it up at a no doubt boozy bash. Now, as she likely sees out her rotten days in the clink, wouldn’t it be fascinating to read her prison diaries?
Being a prisoner in Danbury for smuggling drug money inspired Piper Kerman to write ‘Orange is the New Black’ in 2010. It became a best-selling book in 2010 and was turned into a hit Netflix series in 2013.Maxwell is currently housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Fellow inmates included the disgraced rapper R. Kelly – a monster sentenced to 30 years yesterday for sex trafficking also.Former Danbury inmate Jacqueline Polverari now claims to “help returning women and their families rebuild their lives.” She has warned Ghislaine Maxwell that she ain’t going to have it easy, however, if she does indeed end up in the facility where she herself spent nearly a year.Other former prisoners at the prison have included Leona Helmsley (1920 – 2007), the especially arrogant friend of Donald Trump. “The Queen of Mean” was a chain-smoking hotelier and real estate tycoon with a reputation for tyrannical behaviour. She took the view that “only the little people pay taxes” but was investigated and convicted of federal income tax evasion in 1989. Sentenced to 16 years, she served just 19 months in prison and 2 months under house arrest. Worth some $8 billion, Helmsley left her Maltese dog, Trouble, $12 million in trust. It is a shame that she never published her prison diaries as they would have made for great reading.
Matthew Steeples joins those demanding that Ghislaine Maxwell’s henchwoman Sarah Kellen and other co-collaborators face justice for their roles assisting the convicted mucky madam sex fiend
Late last night the Daily Mail’s Stephen Wright and Daniel Bates published a story about Sarah Kellen, also known as Sarah Vickers and Sarah Kensington.
In it, of this 43-year-old wife of 38-year-old Nascar driver turned investor Brian Vickers, the Wright and Bates reported: “While Ghislaine Maxwell awaits her fate, Sarah Kellen – her ex-right-hand-woman and third key figure in Jeffrey Epstein drama – strolls carefree in Manhattan… The contrast in her fortunes… could not be starker.”
Reportedly living between a £4.3 million penthouse in SoHo, New York and a £5.1 million condominium in Miami, Florida, here is a woman “dubbed Epstein’s ‘lieutenant’ for allegedly souricng and booking underage girls for ‘massages’” but who “has has never faced justice over the scandal after becoming one of four women granted immunity from prosecution over Epstein’s abuse. In 2008, his lawyers persuaded the authorities to sign an agreement giving ‘potential co-conspirators’ protection from future charges.”
Of the lack of even an attempt to get justice, victims’ lawyer David Boies told the paper that he hoped that “co-conspirators should be held to account” whilst victims’ attorney Brad Edwards added that the likes of Kellen “should share evidence to those ‘still seeking justice’ or should face prosecution next.”
Unsurprisingly, “Miss Kellen’s lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.”
Jeffrey Epstein with Sarah Kellen on Madison Avenue in NYC on 30th January 2012. Of her involvement with the since croaked paedophile, this 43-year-old once stated: “[I am a] victim – not a monster.”Mr and Mrs Vickers were reported as being “horrible neighbours” to other residents of the building where they primarily live in an article in the ‘New York Post’ on 16th January 2021. Residents of 92 Greene Street – which was “once home to Lindsay Lohan,” another “neighbour from hell” – moaned: “It’s the other homeowners that have to put up with [their] endless apartment renovation.”Elsewhere yesterday in a 68-page document shared on ‘Court Listener,’ defence lawyer Bobbi C. Sternheim raged in support of her client and stated: “Ms. Maxwell’s sentencing proceeding should not a bully pulpit for anyone who was not identified as a victim of the charged federal offenses and does not qualify as such under the CVRA. We urge the Court to undertake its role as gatekeeper to ensure that Ms. Maxwell’s rights are not trampled by individuals who are not statutory victims or by the rights afforded to legitimate victims under the CVRA. To ensure that the appropriate balance of rights is achieved, those who qualify under the CVRA offenses should have the right to be heard but their statements should be in accordance with redactions and rulings made by the Court. Because the Individuals do not meet the definition of ‘crime victims’ under the CVRA, they should not be permitted to give oral testimony or have their written victim impact statements read during sentencing.”
On Twitter this morning, ‘The Prince & The Pervert’ podcast host Lisa Tait shared “five reasons why #GhislaineMaxwell thinks she’s the real victim.” They include that she thinks she’s not to blame, she was emotionally abused father, she is the replacement for the dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, conspiracy and that her victims are not actually her victims.
Prosecutors rightly demand mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell gets maximum 55 years in the clink and thus likely deservedly dies there; they also want the deviant liar to pay the maximum £615,000 fine and call out her spreading “horror stories” about her incarceration as “unfounded”
Boob groping grabber and money motivated sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell – whose claims of “extreme weight loss are not true” given her weight has gone from 146 pounds to 144.5 pounds since she entered the clink – wants a laughable sentence of just 4 years; those that brought her to justice want her sent down 55 years. Yesterday setting out the case as to why in a 55-page document, United States Attorney Damian Williams observed:
“Ghislaine Maxwell sexually exploited young girls for years. It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of her crimes and the harm she caused. Her crimes demand justice. The Government urges the Court to impose a sentence within the applicable Guidelines range of 360 to 660 months’ imprisonment.”
This morning on Twitter, Matthew Steeples shared a poll that asked: “Does mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell deserve 4 years or 55 years?” The majority of respondents thus far are in favour of “chucking the book at her” rather than the 4 years her defence team are laughably seeking.
“As the Government has emphasized throughout this case, Jeffrey Epstein could not have committed these crimes without the defendant. The defendant, an adult woman, was able to provide a cover of respectability to Epstein that lulled the victims and their families into a false sense of security.”
“This case sends the important message that those who would conspire with sexual predators will be held responsible for their significant role in these crimes. Accordingly, a Guidelines sentence is necessary to afford deterrence.”
“The lenient sentence the defendant seeks would send the message that there is one system of laws for the rich and powerful, and another set for everyone else.”
“It would also send the message to victims that, even if they have the courage to report their abusers and undergo the excruciating experience of testifying in court, there will be no meaningful accountability.”
Going further of a wicked woman they described as playing an “instrumental role in the horrific sexual abuse of multiple young teenage girls” and someone who “left her victims permanently scarred with emotional and psychological injuries,” they add “Maxwell was an adult who made her own choices.” Of her attempts to blame others, Williams adds:
“If anything stands out from the defendant’s sentencing submission, it is her complete failure to address her offense conduct and her utter lack of remorse. Instead of showing even a hint of acceptance of responsibility, the defendant makes a desperate attempt to cast blame wherever else she can.”
“On that score, the defendant’s attempt to cast aspersions on the Government for prosecuting her, and her claim that she is being held responsible for Epstein’s crimes, are both absurd and offensive.”
“… She made the choice to sexually exploit numerous underage girls. She made the choice to conspire with Epstein for years, working as partners in crime and causing devastating harm to vulnerable victims.”
“She should be held accountable for her disturbing role in an extensive child exploitation scheme.”
“The Government agrees that the defendant should be sentenced for her own conduct: she committed terrible crimes that caused irreparable harm to vulnerable children. Her own criminal actions demand that she serve every day of a Guidelines sentence in prison.”
“Moreover, even now, at sentencing, the defendant has shown no acceptance of responsibility, and her submission fails to even mention, much less accept responsibility for, the harm she has caused her victims. Instead, her entire submission is an effort to cast herself as a victim: of her father, of Epstein, of the media, of prosecutors, of the Bureau of Prisons.”
“Although much of the defendant’s sentencing memorandum aims to cast aspersions on the Government, these claims are baseless. This Office did what it always does in any case: it followed the facts and law.”
“The investigation uncovered that the defendant committed terrible crimes, and that is what this case is about. The Court should see the defendant’s attack on the Government’s motives for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to shift the blame for her own crimes and distract from the gravity of her offense conduct.”
“In short, the defendant has lied repeatedly about her crimes, exhibited an utter failure to accept responsibility, and demonstrated repeated disrespect for the law and the Court. The defendant’s history and characteristics weigh in favor of a Guidelines sentence.”
Turning to this the very likely mostly hidden assets of this very wealthy 60-year-old – whose evil conman father plundered and hid assets of about £450 million via locations believed to number the British Virgin Islands, the Channel Islands, Lichtenstein, Panama and Switzerland – Williams concluded “the defendant apparently decides when she wishes to disclose facts to the Court, and those facts shift when it serves the defendant’s interests.”
Going further, he added:
“The breakdown of the defendant’s finances provided then demonstrated that the defendant is a remarkably wealthy woman. That wealth appears to have primarily come from Epstein.”
“The primary source of funds reflected in that financial breakdown was the sale of the defendant’s Manhattan townhouse. Kate testified at trial that the defendant told Kate that Epstein obtained the New York townhouse for the defendant. Additionally, evidence at trial demonstrated that Epstein transferred a total of approximately $23 million (£18.9 million, €21.9 million or درهم84.5 million) to the defendant.”
“The defendant’s dishonesty surrounding her finances is an aggravating factor weighing in favor of an above-Guidelines fine in this case. The defendant’s assets range in 52 the multiple millions of dollars. A $750,000 (£615,000, €715,000 or درهم2.8million) fine will hardly impact her financial outlook, but it is the most the law will allow in this case. The Court should impose it without hesitation.”
“With respect to forfeiture, the Government is not seeking to forfeit any property because the Government has not identified specific property used in the offense conduct that the defendant herself owned.”
“Finally, because each of the identified victims has already received monetary compensation for the harms caused to them by the defendant’s criminal conduct, the Government does not seek restitution in this case. Restitution is not available where victims have received compensation for their losses from another source.”
“Each of the six victims identified at trial – Jane, Annie, Kate,Carolyn, Virginia, and Melissa – has received funds from the Epstein Victim Compensation Fund and/or civil settlements as compensation for the harms they suffered as a result of the defendant’s and Epstein’s crimes.”
“… That amount constitutes a mere drop in the bucket for a multi-millionaire like the defendant, but it nevertheless sends the message that a defendant who uses wealth to accomplish criminal activity will suffer financial losses in addition to the loss of liberty.”
“No amount of money can undo the harm that the defendant’s crimes have done, but given the defendant’s substantial means, the majority of which appears to have come from her co-conspirator, a hefty fine is certainly warranted in this case.”
“Money is a key theme underlying the criminal conduct in this case. The defendant’s access to wealth enabled her to present herself as a supposedly respectable member of society, who rubbed shoulders with royalty, presidents, and celebrities.”
“That same wealth dazzled the girls from struggling families who became the defendant and Epstein’s victims. That same wealth enabled the defendant and Epstein to hire a parade of staff to transport victims and maintain the fabulous properties where those victims were abused.”
“That same wealth motivated the defendant to make sure that Epstein’s repulsive desire for sexual contact with teenage girls was always met.”
“That wealth was the defendant’s reward.”
“The defendant has lived a life of extraordinary privilege, and she profited from her relationship with Epstein. It is only right that she should suffer some small financial penalty for the incalculable harm she has caused.”
Of Jeffrey Epstein’s co-collaborator and one-time lover’s moaning about jail conditions, Williams observed:
“At bottom, the defendant’s complaints about jail seem to come down to the vast gulf between the conditions of her confinement and the defendant’s lived experience up until her arrest and detention on July 2, 2020.”
“Until July 2020, the defendant spent her entire life living in extraordinary luxury. Her childhood and adolescence were filled with wealth and privilege. That access to wealth continued into adulthood when the defendant found a benefactor in Epstein, who provided her with millions of dollars and invited her to share in his luxurious lifestyle of mansions, house staff, private chefs, and private planes.”
“After leaving that relationship, the defendant remained exceptionally wealthy, residing in palatial estates and owning multiple homes. It is no wonder, then, that she found jail jarring. Going from being waited on hand and foot to incarceration is undoubtedly a shocking and unpleasant experience.”
“The massive difference between the defendant’s prior life and the life of an inmate may feel extreme to the defendant, but when compared to the experiences of other pretrial detainees in this District, her experience is by no means so shocking as to merit a downward variance.”
“If anything, the defendant’s privilege remained intact while at the MDC, as demonstrated by the exceptional benefits she received. No other inmate received the kind of access to discovery and to counsel that the defendant did. The defendant had her own shower, her own television, her own desktop computer, her own laptop, and her own space to spend the day outside of her cell.”
“The defendant was able to get any concerns, no matter how small, immediately brought to the attention of MDC legal counsel through her attorneys. Comparing that treatment to SAMS is out of touch with reality.”
“In many respects, the defendant’s conditions of confinement were preferential and more beneficial than those experienced by other inmates… At bottom, the defendant does not like jail.”
“… Finally, it bears emphasizing that the defendant has told blatant lies about her conditions of confinement. She repeatedly claims to have suffered significant hair loss, but anyone who has seen the defendant in court can easily see that is not true.”
“She repeatedly claims to have lost an extreme amount of weight, but, as noted above, BOP medical records make clear that she has not. The defendant is perfectly healthy, with a full head of hair.”
Mr Williams is spot on and given that Ghislaine Maxwell remains remorseless for her many crimes, has been shown to be a deviant liar and has thus far refused to name the names of her co-collaborators and those she sex trafficked to, it is time for only one thing. On 28th June, it is time for Judge Alison J. Nathan to chuck the book at this truly rotten piece of toerag.
Elsewhere this morning, the DailyMail.com shared an image they declared “never-before-seen” image of the daughter of the world’s worst pension plunderer with her now estranged husband Scott Borgerson at a Christmas party at a nursing home in December 2017. The pair married on Christmas Day a year earlier – the very day of Ghislaine Maxwell’s 55th birthday.Mr Borgerson ditched his wife in what the DailyMail.com termed a “heated phone call whilst she was in solitary confinement” and has moved on with a yoga enthusiast with “an ass that could crack open a walnut” named Kris McGinn Straub.The United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York issued a statement on Tuesday 21st June 2022 calling on victims wishing to make a statement at Ghislaine Maxwell to contact them. In it they incorrectly stated the date of sentencing as the 29th June rather than the 28th June.
The Maxwell-Borgerson Assets
Of the lies Ghislaine Maxwell told about her assets, prosecutors remark: “After getting caught in her lie to Pretrial Services that her only asset was her London townhouse, the defendant provided a very different picture when seeking bail in December 2020. The breakdown of the defendant’s finances provided then demonstrated that the defendant is a remarkably wealthy woman.”
Amongst the assets of the couple are:
Manchester-by-the-Sea residence – The house Borgerson bought with Maxwell on 30th June 2016 for £1.802 million ($2.450 million, €2.164 million or درهم8.998 million) in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts was placed for sale in February 2022 for a far more punchy £5.368 million ($7.295 million, €6.443 million or درهم26.791 million). Whether it has sold is unknown and how much of the proceeds from such she will receive has also yet to be disclosed.New Hampshire residence – The pair purchased Tuckedaway, 338 East Washington Road, Bradford, New Hampshire, NH 03221 for £787,953 ($1,070,750, €945,752 or درهم3.93 million) on 13th December 2019 via Jennifer Johnson and Margaret Weathers of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. The house had been listed at a price of £879,000 ($1.195 million, €1.055 million or درهم4.389 million) in March that year and sold previously for £773,000 ($1.050 million, €927,000 million or درهم3.856 million) on 15th December 2017. Its ownership is currently unknown, but likely remains in the joint possession of Mr and Mrs Borgerson.London residence – Ghislaine Maxwell paid £290,000 ($396,000, €347,000 or درهم5 million) for a three-storey leasehold mews house on 22nd January 1997. 44 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia, London, SW1X 8ES is situated at the heart of the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Estate and she sold it for £1.75 million ($2.39 million, €2.09 million or درهم79 million) on 19th April 2021.
As Ghislaine Maxwell faces 30 years in prison, her lawyers have ludicrously countered suggesting she should serve just a minimum 4 years; her few “remaining friends” and family laughably blub about the mucky madam being a “fundamentally good and decent person” who “still has much to contribute to the world if she is given a meaningful opportunity to do so”
“Remaining friends (most having cut ties due to fear of association and the lure of ‘cancel culture’) attest to Ghislaine [Maxwell]’s character; each offers a first-person narrative of some aspect of her life in sharp contrast to her characterisation as a villain, rich heiress, and vapid socialite” is a telling paragraph in Bobbi C. Sternhein, Christian R. Everdell and Jeffrey S. Pagliuca’s latest submission to the United States District Court Southern District of New York about their convicted sex offender client.
In a 77-page document accompanied by another of 29 pages, the word “victim” is very tellingly only referenced 4 times and not one of those mentions expresses any regret on behalf of the mucky madam Maxwell about what she has been deservedly convicted of doing to young women. They go as far to claim: “Probation essentially makes the sweeping assertion that a harsh sentence for Ms. Maxwell is necessary to deter rich people from exploiting poor people,” but ludicrously seek to blame “main offender” Jeffrey Epstein alone for this instead.
“Nor should she be sentenced as if she were Harvey Weinstein” is another laughable point made by the attorneys – Maxwell and the disgraced film mogul ironically partied together at the birthday party for Prince Andrew’s daughter on 15th July 2006 – in an attempt to bring down the “correct sentencing range” to a minimum of 51 months or 4.25 years “not the 292-365 month [30.5 years] range calculated by the U.S. Probation Office.”
A “whirlwind of emotional turmoil caused by the relentless demands of her father” and an absent mother who ignored her are also cited as factors in Jeffrey Epstein’s co-collaborator’s downfall and whilst he isn’t actually named, her estranged husband Scott Borgerson is referenced. Of him, the attorneys remark:
“In 2013, Ms. Maxwell began a new relationship with the man she would later marry. She was with her husband for over seven years and became a devoted stepmother to her husband’s two youngsters, who were ages three and four and a half at the start of the relationship. Sadly, the marriage could not survive the negative impact of this case nor a husband’s association with his dishonoured wife.”
Lauded as “warm hearted, generous, kind, funny, thoughtful and loving” by friends and relatives, here is a portrayal of someone quite at contrast with what a court found of her in December. This wicked wench might think she can pull the wool over the courts with this barrage of bilge, but we simply conclude: “Now, go and pull the other one; it is time for this wholeheartedly evil conniving ratbag to rot and to deservedly rot in hell.”
Ghislaine Maxwell will be sentenced on 28th June in New York. She deserves far more than the minimum asked for; in fact, she deserves to live out of the rest of her days in the clink to prevent her assisting in the abuse of a single further person.
The attorneys of the mucky madam seek to pin blame on the former socialite’s late parents Robert and Betty as an explanation for her antics in their 77-page submission. Of Ghislaine Maxwell’s mother, they remark: “At age three, she stood in front of her mother and said simply, ‘Mummy, I exist.’ On doctor’s orders exactly a year after Michael’s accident, her mother went on a long tour of India and Australia, leaving infant Ghislaine and her siblings not already in boarding school at home in the care of a nanny.” Of her as deviant as her father, they add: “Mr. Maxwell employed corporal punishment on his children. Ghislaine vividly recalls a time when, at age 13, she tacked a poster of a pony on the newly painted wall of her bedroom. Rather than mar the paint with tape, she carefully hammered a thin tack to mount the poster. This outraged her father, who took the hammer and banged on Ghislaine’s dominant hand, leaving it severely bruised and painful for weeks to come.”Of what came after the death of her father “under suspicious and unresolved circumstances and under a cloud of business impropriety,” the lawyers add, ‘The Bouncing Czech’s’ clear favourite child was “left to fend for herself.” They remark: “It was around this time that Ms. Maxwell met Jeffrey Epstein for the first time. As Ms. Maxwell plans to appeal her conviction, we will not comment on the events during this time period that were the subject of the trial” and thus avoid delving into what she and her evil co-collaborator did to the victims they sex trafficked and sexually abused. Effectively, the excuse is one monstrous man replaced another man.Since exposed as criminal sex abusers and predators including Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attended Princess Beatrice’s 1888 themed 18th birthday party at Windsor Castle on 15th July 2006. The event cost a reported £400,000 – whether the Duke of York and his live-in ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York contributed financially or instead got their rich friends to cough-up is, however, unknown – and other guests numbered more innocent sorts including Sir David Frost, Pixie Geldoff, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Kelly Osbourne. Curiously the convicted daughter of the Mirror pension pot plunderer is now seeking to distance herself from the former film mogul she was happy to be pictured with and does not want to be compared to someone convicted of what her lawyers term “forcible rape.”“Her work was a far cry from the ‘flippity-jibit socialite’ label that the media has decided to cast on her every time they reference her” claim sisters Christine Malina Maxwell and Isabel Maxwell in a letter that is included in the 77-page document. Such a comment fails in that here was a woman who spent her life hobnobbing with the likes of Calvin Klein and Aby Rosen (pictured) and others including Bernie Ecclestone, Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew and Naomi Campbell.For many years a “secret husband,” Scott Borgerson has given up on his wicked wife and taken up with a yoga enthusiast with “an ass that could crack open a walnut” named Kris McGinn Straub. The house he bought with Maxwell in June 2016 in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts was placed for sale in February 2022 for £5.368 million ($7.295 million, €6.443 million or درهم26.791 million). Whether it has sold is unknown.In other news yesterday, the ‘Miami Herald’ referenced that “ Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein “operated, using offshore companies to build, disguise and conceal their wealth” whilst other publications claimed that the mucky madam would be “naming names” – an allegation examined in the ‘Globe’ on 18th April 2022. At the time, they claimed “the disgraced British socialite is spilling her guts… in return for a get out of jail free card.”
As Ghislaine Maxwell’s former business partner Jemma Kidd takes part in a car rally that raises money for victims of sex trafficking, we again call out the ridiculous vanity project of rich-not-robust women that is Cash & Rocket
Cash & Rocket is a ‘charitable organisation’ that claims to seek to bring about the “empowerment of women,” but it is actually ironically best known for having counted the since convicted sex trafficker of women Ghislaine Maxwell as amongst its participants in 2019.
Now, with news, post coronavirus lockdowns, that the car rally is again on the road, The Steeple Times contacted Cash & Rocket’s founder and CEO, Julie Brangstrup, for comment as to her view on the forthcoming sentencing of Robert Maxwell’s mucky madam daughter. We have yet to receive a reply.
With news from the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this morning that Jemma Kidd (AKA the Countess of Mornington) – who counted the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s onetime lover as a director of her now dissolved since January 2020 Jemma Kidd Makeup Limited company – is participating in this year’s event, we again question the clearly odd associations of Cash & Rocket.
Happening this year between 9th to the 12th June and involving 80 women driving between Barcelona and Florence via Provence and Milan, the website for the ‘teams’ participating is very much more vague than in 2019. It does not, most tellingly, include the surnames of any participants and though it is claimed £291,460 has been raised thus far, we again today remind Julie Brangstrup that she still has questions to answer.
“Whilst all mention of Ghislaine Maxwell from Cash & Rocket’s website and social media, the stench of the involvement of this incarcerated alleged sexual abuser of women is something that still needs to be explained. We today call upon Julie Brangstrup to ‘woman up’ and explain how the ‘Bouncing Czech’s’ deviant daughter was allowed to join the event on 13th June 2019 given alleged victim Maria Farmer had already filed a sworn affidavit against Maxwell on 16th April that year.”
The Steeple Times’ Matthew Steeples will be interviewed by leading true crime podcaster and author Shaun Attwood about Ghislaine Maxwell and her likely fate tomorrow, 12th June, at CrimeCon 2022 in London between 11am and 12 noon.

Of her involvement in the 2022 rally, the ‘Daily Mail’s’ Richard Eden this morning quoted Lady Mornington as “gushing”: “Can we just have an appreciation of how bloody spectacular this car is… It’s a 3-litre V6 hybrid from Ferrari and it goes from 0 to 60mph in 2.9 seconds. It’s blown my little socks off.”An image of the 2019 participants in Cash & Rocket’s rally at the Wellington Arch launch event on 13th June 2020. Miss Maxwell was presumably hiding ‘Where’s Wally?’ like somewhere within this shot.In another image, shared a little more widely previously, the mucky madam posed next to the Alfa Romeo she co-drove with Nettie Mason with Paris Hilton and Caroline Stanbury behind her.The ‘charitable organisation’ featured Miss Maxwell on their website during the 2019 event but have since removed all reference to her. The profile for the drivers of ‘Car 28,’ at the time, bizarrely suggested they’d raised “£0” and thus proved their fundraising abilities to be “as much use as a chocolate teapot.”Shaun Attwood with co-host Jennifer Hopkins will discuss “two of the biggest stories in true crime” on 12th June 2022 between 11am and 12 noon at the UK’s number one gathering of those interested in true crime in Britain and beyond.
As sentencing approaches on 28th June, the end is nigh for Ghislaine Maxwell; elsewhere Elon Musk asks about her client list as the mucky madam’s pugnacious PR peddlers go crickets
Though members of the public keep banging on about the fact that the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell wasn’t as transparently covered as the defamation case of Amber Heard v Johnny Depp – in doing so illustrating their lack of understanding of the differences between civil and criminal cases – it is now time to share the timeline of the former’s road to a likely and deserved remainder of her life rotting in the clink.
Set out in April by Judge Alison J. Nathan, the daughter of the pension pot plunderer to the tune of £500 million’s processing began on 24th May and will conclude with sentencing on 28th June.
There is no conspiracy in this matter and what is occurring, though it might be deemed slow by British standards, is being done in a perfectly thorough and absolutely fair fashion.
Elsewhere on Twitter, as is to be expected of a branch of social media where wack jobs share what Boris Johnson might call a “pyramid of piffle,” the rumour mill has been in overdrive. Amongst the ramblings last week, Elon Musk – himself photographed (supposedly without his permission, he claims) with Jeffrey Epstein’s mucky madam in March 2014 – tossed the baton to the Department of Justice over the fact that no co-conspirators of the pair have yet been charged in the US with a single offence.
In a subsequent tweet responding to one of those who highlighted the suggestion that Musk and Maxwell had themselves met, the businessman pointedly answered: “Ah yes, Maxwell photobombing me at a @VanityFair Oscars party – you should them why they invited her. The same people who push this photo say nothing about prominent people who actually went to his island a dozen times. Also very strange…”
Mr Musk is quite right to highlight this and what is also extremely telling is that the pugnacious PR peddlers who’ve repeatedly come out and attacked the victims of this evil, mendacious woman have now gone completely silent. Brian Basham, Jay Beecher, Ross Gower and Ian, Isabel and Kevin Maxwell – As a pissed-off-her-skull Delia Smith once raged: “Let’s be havin’ ya.”
Pictured top – An especially busty shot of Ghislaine Maxwell with the world’s richest man, Tesla founder Elon Musk. He claims that the daughter of ‘The Bouncing Czech’ Robert Maxwell “photobombed” him at ‘Vanity Fair’s’ March 2014 Oscar party in West Hollywood.
On 26th April, Judge Alison J. Nathan set out the order of the process of the sentencing of Jeffrey Epstein’s lover and co-conspirator in abusing and sex trafficking young women. Prior to the actual sentence being made on 26th June 2022, there are a number of key dates – including a PSR disclosure being due tomorrow.Billionaire Elon Musk threw petrol on the fire on 4th June when he accompanied a tweet that read: “Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn’t that seem odd?” with an image captioned: “Things I’ll never see in my life.” The four images were of a dragon, a dinosaur, a unicorn and a box title: “The Epstein/Maxwell client list.”The ‘Mucky Madam’s’ primary PR peddlers – Bombastic busybody Brian Basham, jingoistic joker Jay Beecher and brazen brother Kevin Maxwell have all regularly gone out on the offensive on behalf of the convicted sex trafficker. Lately, however, not one of them has said a thing – most probably advised by counsel to keep schtum.In recent months Christopher Mason (left) – who wrote a raunchy poem about Jeffrey Epstein having “24-hour erections” at the behest of Ghislaine Maxwell – has commented widely on the conviction of a woman he has thrown under the bus in terming his “former friend.” Equally, the daughter of the pension pot plunderer’s one-time spokesman Ross Gow of Acuity Reputation (right) – who describes himself on Twitter as a “reputation counsel” and “whippet fancier” who “enjoys ancient Land Rovers and aged Mercedes, drinkable wine, fieldsports and woodsmoke” – seemingly has stopped spinning for her and gone remarkably quiet.
In February 2005, Delia Smith CH CBE took to the pitch of Norwich Football Club – which she is the majority shareholder in – and raged: “A message for the best football supporters in the world: we need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let’s be ‘avin’ you! Come on!” The same can now be said of the co-conspirators of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. It is jolly well time they were charged.
As Sarah, Duchess of York talks about “standing strong… when the winds get violent,” we again remind this toesucking twerp to answer the question: “Did she ever repay the croaked paedophile Jeffery Epstein?”
Whilst The Steeple Times has repeatedly called upon the dimwitted duchess to explain if she ever repaid a financial loan and “other assistance” taken from the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, this week, the mother of two daughters by a non-sweating man who paid a sum of circa £12 million to a woman he claimed prior to have never met has yet again stuck her cloven hooves in the proverbial.
“The York family are a united front and we stand very strong and very tall. When the winds get violent, we keep standing.”
Going further and attempting to garner sympathy for the situations she herself has consistently created, the clearly delusional dimwit later added:
“I’ve always felt judged, which is why I support the LGBTQ+ community. I know what it’s like to be segregated. I’m 62 now and it still hurts, even now, when someone has a pop at me.”
Whilst most media turned their attention to other comments made at the book launch about the late Diana, Princess of Wales, again today it seems sensible to remind the lover of toesucking that the public would prefer her and the Duke of York to simply stick a sock in it.
With PR peddlers like these… Just as is the case with the mucky madam Maxwell’s choice of Brian Basham – who was involved with British Airways in the era of ‘Dirty Tricks’ against Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic – as her spokesperson, the dimwit formerly known as Sarah Ferguson has never found a good PR advisor. James Henderson’s Bell Pottinger went into administration in September 2017 with a former colleague claiming: “It all went to his head. If he saw a picture of himself [in the paper], he was delighted.”With friends like these… Happy to stand smirking with the now convicted mucky madam sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell in times prior, the Queen’s second son’s live-in ex-wife’s choice of friends serves only to illustrates only that she is either dim and a dunce or that she is happy to overlook deviancy in the hope of reeling in yet more wonga.With toesuckers like these… On Thursday 20th August 1992, the ‘Daily Mirror’ shared what they called “the pictures they didn’t want you to see.” In them, a topless Duchess of York was shown having her toes sucked in the South of France by a Texan millionaire named John Bryan. Of the incident, the ‘Mirror’ later reported: “Royal writer Richard Kay claimed in the ‘Daily Mail’ that he received a message via pager from Princess Diana the night before the photos hit the newspaper stands. Diana’s message was simple: ‘The redhead’s in trouble.’”
With a temper like this and a willingness to take dubious money also… In 2018 and prior to all the drama she caused by taking dubious money from Epstein and Chinese and Turks, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie had a temper tantrum on ’60 Minutes Australia’ when questioned about seeking out cash from what she clearly must have known to be illegitimate sources.
Of sex, her and goats: “One of the worst headlines said 82% [of the population] would rather sleep with a goat than Fergie. It’s never left me.”
Of the royal family: “They tried to put the little redhead in a cage.”
Of her life: “I have been in the gutter.”
Of food, family and dining: “As long as it is hot, wet and goes down the right way, it’s fine with me.”
“With every smell, I smell food. With every sight, I see food. I can almost hear food. I want to spade the whole lot through my mouth at Mach 2. Basta!”
“We all sit round the table and eat together. Andrew and I believe in total parent unity. We’re best friends.”
Of wanting to be a television star: “I would quite like to go on Dancing With The Stars. I would like somebody to teach me to tango. I do know the show and my children would be so proud of me.”
Of when she decided she wanted to bag a royal: “I met [Prince Andrew] when I was 12, and I said: ‘I’m going to marry him.’”
Of marriage, divorce and work: “I left my marriage knowing I’d have to work. I have.”
“I didn’t want a divorce, but had to because of circumstance.”
“I wish we’d never got divorced. He and I both wish we’d never divorced, but we did. I wish I could go back and be the bride again, but I can’t.”
Of her many, many mistakes: “I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake. Why have I made so many mistakes?”
“You look at the devil in the face, which you do. Then you forgive, and you say: ‘OK, I’ve made almost a mistake that will never be forgotten,’ and forgive.”
“I was so out of control with desperation… I was looking for quick fixes in the places I wouldn’t normally look… I’ve been a huge, over-trusting, idiotic, stupid woman that went to look for the perfect situation, and that’s all I can say really.”
After Jeffrey Epstein victims’ lawyer Brad Edwards labels Prince Andrew “stupid” at CrimeCon in Las Vegas, ‘The Steeple Times’s’ Matthew Steeples looks forward to discussing the ratbag royal and mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell’s fate at CrimeCon London in June
On Sunday, The Sun quoted Brad Edwards, Esq. – a crusading lawyer for 69 victims of the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and a founding partner of Fort Lauderdale, Florida based Edwards Pottinger LLC – as describing Prince Andrew as “stupid” and someone who is “going to have to live a life of ridicule for a long time.”
Going further and making somewhat punchy comments to the paper’s Alex Diaz whilst at the recent CrimeCon event in Las Vegas, Mr Edwards added:
“How stupid can you possibly be to remain friends with Jeffrey Epstein after he was labeled a sex offender and he came out of jail? Have you lost your mind? I imagine the Queen has bent him over her knee a couple of times.”
“He paid a lot of money to settle a case and try to make up for what he allegedly did many years ago.”
“I just wish that in the process, Virginia didn’t have to take the media hit that she did because he was trying to cover his own butt.”
“He should have just accepted responsibility and moved on.”
“A lot of people would hope that the Queen had banished him, but if your own mom’s not going to love you then nobody will.”
Edwards – who was honoured by the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in November 2020 – was targeted by Epstein and in April 2020 told Page Six that during meetings at a Starbucks in Boca Raton, Florida, the financier told him: “Brad, if you keep prosecuting me in this way, somebody’s going to get hurt.”
Page Six continued: “[Edwards] revealed: “[Epstein] put my family under surveillance, when I called him on it and said, ‘Hey, you put my family under surveillance, you told me you weren’t a bad guy,’ he said, ‘No, no, I just took you off the surveillance – I didn’t realise I had done that. I have a bunch of people who work for me, so see I’m the good guy, I’ll treat you fairly, let’s settle this case.’”
The attorney refused to settle and in due course Epstein was “finally forced to make a full apology in a letter read in court in 2018.”
Continuing exploration of such matters, The Steeple Times’ Matthew Steeples will spend an hour discussing his research into the crimes and connections of not only Jeffrey Epstein but also Ghislaine Maxwell at CrimeCon UK in London on 12th June with YouTube True Crime Channel host and author Shaun Attwood and his podcaster co-host Jennifer Hopkins.
Delving also into Attwood’s 2021 book Who Killed Epstein? and Prince Andrew’s recent settlement with Virginia Roberts, in addition, the trio will turn in the wake of last week’s nigh on 4-hour documentary epic Untouchable take questions about the antics of another royal rotter – the monstrous paedophile and necrophiliac, Sir Jimmy Savile – given that show has attracted an astonishing 120,000 views since it premiered.
Speaking of the forthcoming event, Matthew Steeples remarked Tuesday:
“I am looking forward to being able to return to CrimeCon London after speaking there in September 2021 on the subject of the pension pot plunderer’s deviant daughter and her coterie of evil cohorts.”
“Last year, it was great to spend time with everyone from the punchy storyteller behind the Hunting Ghislaine podcast, John Sweeney, to crime enthusiasts who’d travelled from far and wide because of their interest in the Epstein-Maxwell case and others both Shaun and I’ve covered including the incarceration of Jeremy Bamber and ‘missing’ Madeleine McCann.”
“Last year’s audience for our segment was somewhat small given the size of the room, but with the anticipation of sentencing of Maxwell on the 28th June and a much larger space, I look forward to sharing the stories of my experiences with the key players, both for and against this wicked, now rightly shamed socialite, on 12th June.”
Matthew Steeples will be discussing the sordid stories of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew and Sir Jimmy Savile with Shaun Attwood and Jennifer Hopkins at CrimeCon UK on 12th June from 11am to 12 noon at the Leonardo Royal Hotel & Spa, St Paul’s, 10 Godliman Street, EC4V 5AJ.
The Fort Lauderdale based lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, Brad Edwards, has been pursuing the cases of those sexually molested by the taxi driver turned teacher turned sex offender on a pro bono basis for the past decade.Shaun Attwood with co-host Jennifer Hopkins will discuss “two of the biggest stories in true crime” on 12th June 2022 between 11am and 12 noon at the UK’s number one gathering of those interested in true crime in Britain and beyond.
Aside from showing audacity in wearing shoes featuring the words ‘Never Complain’ and ‘Never Explain’ after her ex-husband’s £12 million payout to a woman he claimed to have never met, isn’t it time that Sarah, Duchess of York confirms if she ever paid the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein back?
Repeating that story yet again this morning, the apologist for amongst others the paedophile Rolf Harris, in her frankly tedious weekly column, the harpy and harridan that is Amanda Platell added that she thinks that “[the woman formerly known as Sarah Ferguson] might want to explain why she took £20,000 for advising a Northern Ireland caravan tycoon embroiled in allegations of money laundering on top of a £225,000 separate payment. Caravans? Has she ever set foot in one?”
Both columnists might note that Hello! first referenced Prince Andrew’s live-in ex-wife’s ludicrous footwear as “different, but cool” in May 2019 and that The Steeple Times featured Fergie’s other ‘feet-related incidents’ in July 2021 – amongst them that infamous “toe-sucking incident” and the time that she blamed the late Diana, Princess of Wales for catching verrucas.
Equally, aside from having a pop at the definite dimwit over the money she took from Alphabet Capital and the £232,000 she owes to “Chinese investors,” it is time that the mainstream media dealt with a far more serious matter. Sarah, Duchess of York has never confirmed whether she repaid the loan and “further assistance” she took from the since croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and it is now time to remind her that without an answer, she simply continues to bring shame on the already shamed House of York.
One is left wondering if Sarah, Duchess of York (pictured here with her deservedly since convicted sex offender mucky madam mate Ghislaine Maxwell) spent any of the money she got from the paedophile, sex trafficker of children Jeffrey Epstein on shoes.That this wastrel woman thinks it appropriate to speak about the late Diana, Princess of Wales giving her verrucas and wearing footwear that basically is an “up yours” to the victims of her ex-husband’s ‘bestie’ Jeffrey Epstein is beyond outrageous, but what is worse is that she has no shame in taking money from the dastardly, the deviant and the deranged.On Thursday 20th August 1992, the ‘Daily Mirror’ shared what they called “the pictures they didn’t want you to see.” In them, a topless Duchess of York was shown having her toes sucked in the South of France by a Texan millionaire named John Bryan. Of the incident, the ‘Mirror’ later reported: “Royal writer Richard Kay claimed in the ‘Daily Mail’ that he received a message via pager from Princess Diana the night before the photos hit the newspaper stands. Diana’s message was simple: ‘The redhead’s in trouble.’”
Sarah, Duchess of York’s support for the Duchess of Sussex is another example of her backing the wrong horse. Referencing footwear, the feckless live-in ex of ‘Randy Andy’ once remarked: “It must be hard for Meghan and can I relate to her. I believe she is modern and fabulous. She was famous before. She is great. Why can’t Meghan be great? Why can’t she be celebrated? I have been in Meghan’s shoes, and I still am. There’s always a twist of negativity and it just gets so sad and tiring… I abhor bullying and I feel desperately sorry for the pain they must be going through.
In 2018, the mother of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie had a temper tantrum on ’60 Minutes Australia’ when questioned about seeking out cash from what she clearly must have known to be illegitimate sources.
