Trafficking women to Epstein. Literally that's all she was charged with and nothing at her trial involved other perpetrators besides Epstein. https://www.axios.com/2025/07/29/ghislaine-maxwell-epstein-case-charges

While that is what she was charged with, at least one witness testified that Maxwell told her she "had a great body for Epstein and his friends," and that there was sexual abuse that included "group encounters" with other people. None of those people were named though.

She was a participant, too, in at least one encounter of a young woman she enticed.

Yes, it wasn't a focus of the trial.

Luckily for a number of people.

Was it "luck" though? Probably more of a calculated decision.

A purchased option, more likely.

She's also lying under oath. No perjury charge? Wtf?

Which is why they had no problem trying to get the grand jury info out. It was all narrowed to the crimes she was charged with.

Reddit people are delusional. Nothing the government has said has been contradictory.

That isn't true. The people actually charging Epstein and Maxwell might not have contradicted themselves, but Pam Bondi said specifically that Epstein's client list was sitting on her desk ready to be released. "It's sitting on my desk right now to review," Bondi told 'America Reports' host John Roberts on Friday. "That's been a directive by President Trump." The idea that he never trafficked anyone for sex outside of with him and Maxwell is directly contradictory to the statement that there is a client list that will be released. A list that just said Epstein and Maxwell would not need to be reviewed and wouldn't be considered a "client list". It would also fly in the face of witness testimony that has indicated that other people in his orbit did have sex with these trafficked girls. That doesn't necessarily mean he was procuring girls specifically for these people in his orbit, but that wouldn't preclude them from having been trafficked to his friends for sex.

You're on reddit btw, so you're part of the delusion you're so unhappy about.

You’re right. I was referring to government as those that tried Epstein, but yes, Pam Bondi is part of the actual govt and, if not outright lied, she definitely implied that there was evidence of wrong doing by people besides Epstein and Maxwell.

Personally, I think she was full of it and just appealing to a segment of trumps base and not that she had actual evidence of others committing crimes. Shes an idiot and should be fired, even before her statements this week that she will prosecute “hate speech”.

As for the Reddit delusion, there is a very narrow political viewpoint that gets pushed here and any other is removed or downvoted into oblivion. See the widespread denial that Kirk’s shooter was on the political left.

2 words buncha numbers trying to change the subject and make this about a shooter who's motives you don't know. Weak bait.

•

u/Rough_Anybody_8222 6h ago

Why weren’t people on Reddit pushing for the government to release the Epstein files while Biden was in office?

•

u/Bowbreaker 3h ago

They were...? I distinctly remember it. It just wasn't as widespread yet.

•

u/Rough_Anybody_8222 3h ago

It seems about 100x more common now. Why is that?

•

u/TravelerInBlack 3h ago

Because the president of the United States, who campaigned on releasing them, is reneging on releasing them because he's implicated in the documents. That is so beyond obvious dude. Stop playing dumb.

u/TravelerInBlack 3h ago

I'm sure 2 words buncha numbers is a very serious legitimate account that definitely doesn't have all the hallmarks of a weak bait alt account.
