Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> sexually abused underage girls and joined Jeffrey Epstein in directing Virginia Roberts Giuffre to be sexually abused by others, Giuffre claimed in a cache of documents that has been unsealed in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She \u201ctrained me as a sex slave\u201d, Giuffre is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents were part of now-settled civil litigation against<\/a> the British socialite and include claims about her alleged involvement in the sex-trafficking scheme of Epstein<\/a>, her longtime confidant and a convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents stem from a 2015 civil action brought against Maxwell by Giuffre, <\/strong>who has claimed Maxwell lured her into Epstein\u2019s orbit as a teenager under the guise of offering work as a masseuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the couple subsequently pressured her into having sex with numerous rich or notable men, including Prince Andrew, US politicians, wealthy entrepreneurs, a famous scientist, and a fashion designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maxwell and all of the accused men have long denied those allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The files include personal emails between Epstein and Maxwell, as well as information from a discussion between Giuffre and her lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It is your contention that \u2018Ghislaine Maxwell had sex with underage girls virtually every day when I was around her\u2019, correct?\u201d Giuffre was asked during a May 2016 deposition contained in this document cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right. With whom did Ghislaine Maxwell have sex in your presence?\u201d she was asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, there\u2019s a lot of girls that were involved. We weren\u2019t on a first-name basis with each other. I wouldn\u2019t be able to give you lists of names of girls. It was continuous,\u201d Giuffre answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after saying Epstein\u2019s US Virgin Islands estate was \u201ca place where orgies were a constant thing that took place\u201d, Giuffre said she \u201chad to\u201d perform oral sex on Maxwell, in Epstein\u2019s presence by the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked whom Maxwell directed her to have sex with, Giuffre said: \u201cI\u2019m going to continue to tell you that they both directed me to do it. It was part of my training. They both told me: \u2018You\u2019ve got tickets to go here. This is who you\u2019re meeting, and this is what you\u2019re doing.\u2019Advertisement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
