Ghislaine Maxwell

The Priscilla Doe v. Epstein civil complaint describes a 2006 trip to Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands on which Maxwell instructed the plaintiff on how Jeffrey Epstein preferred to be sexually serviced, described oral techniques, demonstrated manually, and ensured that young women were "constantly on call" to service Epstein ². Court records characterize Maxwell's manner as "serious" and as instilling "genuine fear" in the plaintiff ². Maxwell's December 2021 federal conviction on five of six counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, followed additional testimony in the SDNY criminal case.

Flight logs from September 2002 list passengers including "President Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jeffrey Epstein and the initials GM," and Maxwell's later deposition was asked to confirm that September 2002 Clinton trip ⁹. In separate depositions, Epstein associates Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, and Adriana Ross (Mucinska) invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked about Copperfield, Spacey, and Les Wexner, a response the prosecutor on the record called "absolutely absurd" ⁹. In her own 2016 deposition, Maxwell stated under oath that "the allegations that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey's island is 100 percent false" while confirming "I'm sure he had a meal on Jeffrey's plane," and, asked about her relationship with Clinton aide Doug Band, replied "we are talking about adult consensual relationships, it's off the record" ¹⁰.

On December 8, 2009, Maxwell (sending from "Gmax") emailed Epstein: "If you call I would start by saying what ever you saw was fake and part of a blackmail scheme" ¹¹¹². The preserved exchange is one of the few contemporaneous documents in which Maxwell discusses compromising material directly with Epstein.

Court filings in Giuffre v. Maxwell state that Maxwell was on Epstein's Palm Beach house bank account as recently as 2005 (bates Giuffre 007590, pp. 93-95) ³. In January 2006, Forums LLC made a $220,000 internal funds transfer into Maxwell's JPMorgan Private Bank checking account ⁴. Forums LLC was one of several Epstein-controlled entities identified during the SDNY and USVI banking investigations. Maxwell sold her townhouse at 116 East 65th Street for $15 million in April 2016, as reported by the New York Post ³.

FEC records show three Maxwell contributions ⁶. In September 2004, Maxwell gave two $5,000 contributions to King for Congress (Gary King, New Mexico), listing her address as St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and her employment status as "RETIRED" ⁶. Darren Indyke also donated $5,000 to the same committee in 2004 ⁶. Analysis of FEC filings identifies Maxwell and Indyke as the only Epstein-network donors to King for Congress, during the period in which Epstein's Zorro Ranch operated in New Mexico ⁶. In March 2007, Maxwell donated $2,300 to Hillary Clinton for President, listing herself as "NOT EMPLOYED" from the 10022 ZIP code (Midtown East Manhattan) ⁶. Anthony Barrett (who managed Epstein's 301 East 66th Street building through Ossa Properties) and Richard Kahn (Epstein's co-executor) made donations to the same Clinton committee within months of Maxwell's ⁶.

TransUnion records place Ghislaine Noelle Maxwell at 116 East 65th Street from 1995 to 2020 ¹³. Indyke purchased that property and is listed as a person associated with the address in LexisNexis records for 2008-2015 ¹⁴. Analysis of NYC ACRIS property records indicates that searches across the name variants MAXWELL GHISLAINE, MAXWELL GHISLAINE L, and GHISLAINE MAXWELL returned zero records; investigators infer that title was held through an entity or another individual rather than in Maxwell's own name ¹⁵.

Ghislaine Corp. (FL P95000027272, EIN 650590904) was incorporated on April 3, 1995, in Florida as a domestic profit corporation ⁷. Epstein served as both registered agent and President/Director, with Amanda J. Ellison as Secretary at 457 Madison Avenue, New York; the principal address of record was 358 El Brillo Way, Palm Beach ⁷. A name-change amendment on April 21, 1995, renamed the corporation to Ghislaine Corp., implying an earlier name ⁷. The entity was voluntarily dissolved on October 23, 1998 ⁷. From the same 358 El Brillo Way address, Epstein simultaneously operated Financial Strategy Group Inc. (FL P93000087814) ⁷.

UK Companies House records list three Maxwell-linked UK entities: Ellmax Enterprise (08321238), Terramar UK (08661523), and Jemma Kidd Make-Up (05340072) ⁸. Maxwell is recorded as sole director, secretary, and Person of Significant Control of Ellmax at an Orchard End, Fittleton address; as a director of Terramar UK alongside Lucy Clive and Catherine Vaughan-Edwards; and as a director of Jemma Kidd Make-Up at 6100 Red Hook Quarters, U.S. Virgin Islands (an Epstein-linked address) ⁸. The TerraMar Project, a New York nonprofit focused on ocean conservation that Maxwell founded, co-hosted a June 20, 2013 UN event on oceans and sustainable development goals with Amir Dossal (Global Partnership Forum) and Palau Ambassador Stuart Beck ¹⁶. Masha Drokova, who later co-founded WE Talks with Epstein assistant Lana Pozhidaeva, served as an advisor to TerraMar ¹⁷. The nonprofit was dissolved after Epstein's July 2019 arrest.

Maxwell also held a formal position within Epstein's trust architecture. The First Amendment to the 2001 Trust One, dated June 2003, installed Maxwell as co-trustee in place of Jeffrey Schantz ⁵. Documents in GRM Box #004740715 list a Ghislaine Maxwell & 65th Street file that contains a Sotheby's brokerage agreement for the sale of her house, correspondence regarding AIG paying for services of Miller & Raved, and a Pot and Kettle LLC Certificate of Formation and Certificate of Conversion together with an Assignment of Limited Partnership Interest signed by Maxwell and the Duke of York (Prince Andrew) ¹⁸¹⁹. The underlying purpose of Pot and Kettle LLC, and the nature of the partnership interest assigned, are not disclosed in available filings.

Email records document Maxwell forwarding Tom Barrack's Colony Capital contact information in August 2004 ²⁰. This is the earliest Epstein-network document linking Barrack, who was later indicted in 2021 on charges of acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the UAE (he was acquitted at trial in 2022). Separately, a call record in Epstein's materials shows Abe Gosman calling Maxwell on April 27, 2004 ²¹; Gosman was the prior owner of the Palm Beach mansion Maison de l'Amitie, which Trump Properties LLC acquired out of his bankruptcy.

The investigation database records 22 Maxwell connections spanning legal, corporate, social, financial, and political relationship types. Les Wexner and Maxwell were co-defendants in the 2002-2003 breach-of-contract action SHANKS v. WEXNER (E.D. Pa. 2:02-cv-07671) ²². Deposition records tie Maxwell to Epstein's executive assistant Lesley Groff and to Natalya Malyshev ²³. In October 2015, former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler forwarded a $50,000 retainer request for Maxwell's legal defense to Epstein, and separately discussed Maxwell/Andrew media strategy with him ²⁴²⁵. Maxwell also attended Dolce Vita Parties with Sarah Ferguson to raise money for Children In Crisis and Stow School ²⁶.

Across the documented record, Maxwell's contacts span British aristocracy and royalty (the Duke of York, via the Pot and Kettle LLC documents referenced above ¹⁸), U.S. political figures (Clinton, Band), New York society (the Dubins and related philanthropic circles), and members of Epstein's household and assistant staff (Groff, Kellen, Marcinkova). The Priscilla Doe complaint describes Maxwell's role as ensuring "young females were constantly on call to sexually service Epstein" ².

Maxwell was arrested on July 2, 2020 in Bradford, New Hampshire, approximately two weeks after Attorney General William Barr moved to replace SDNY U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman with SEC Chairman Jay Clayton on June 19, 2020. Berman was removed on June 20 and Maxwell was arrested under Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss ¹. Barr had stated after Epstein's August 2019 death that "any co-conspirators should not rest easy," and Maxwell is the only Epstein co-conspirator federally charged to date. A subsequent complaint references Maxwell's arrest in New Hampshire one week before a DFS fine announcement, describing her as an alleged Epstein fixer ¹. In December 2021 a Manhattan federal jury convicted Maxwell on five of six counts, including sex trafficking of a minor.

Prior civil litigation documented adjacent facts. The Giuffre v. Maxwell case (SDNY 15-cv-7433) produced the 2016 deposition in which Maxwell stated that Clinton had not visited Epstein's island but had "had a meal on Jeffrey's plane," and declined on-record questioning about her relationship with Doug Band ¹⁰. The SHANKS v. WEXNER diversity action (E.D. Pa. 2:02-cv-07671, filed October 2, 2002, terminated October 2003) names Maxwell and Wexner as co-defendants in a breach of contract claim ²²; available filings do not disclose the underlying contract. According to emails preserved in EFTA02484900 and EFTA02651512, Kathryn Ruemmler forwarded a $50,000 retainer request for Maxwell's defense to Epstein in October 2015 and separately discussed Maxwell/Andrew media strategy with him.

The 116 East 65th Street property connects several strands of the legal record. Indyke purchased the property while Maxwell resided there, and LexisNexis person-associate records place him at the same address from 2008 to 2015 ¹⁴. Maxwell lived at the address from 1995 to 2020 per TransUnion records ¹³. Analysis of NYC ACRIS indicates that searches for Maxwell in her own name returned no records ¹⁵, and Maxwell sold the townhouse in April 2016 for $15 million ³. Recipients of the sale proceeds have not been publicly disclosed.
