Jeffrey Epstein was offering advice to Ghislaine Maxwell as late as 2015, according to newly unsealed documents, despite her lawyer’s statement that the British socialite had "no contact” with the disgraced financier in a decade.
"You have done nothing wrong and I would urge you to start acting like it,” Epstein writes in a typo-ridden January 2015 email to Maxwell, a former girlfriend who says she ran his many properties for years. "Go outside, head high, not as an escaping convict. Go to parties. Deal with it.”
The series of emails between "GMax” and "jeffrey E.,” who used the email address [email protected], include what appears to be advice on what Maxwell should say in response to Virginia Giuffre, who alleged Epstein and Maxwell recruited her into a sex-trafficking ring when she was 16. A few weeks earlier, Maxwell had publicly lashed out at Giuffre’s claims, and Epstein seems to suggest Maxwell should distance herself from him. He’d reached a secret plea deal with Florida state prosecutors in 2008.
