British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell gave evidence in 2016 that she had no memory of anything amiss on Jeffrey Epstein’s properties in the 2000s despite accusations by dozens of women and girls that they were sexually abused by the financier.

Maxwell, who is criminally charged with aiding Epstein in his sexual abuse of teenage girls, said during a July 2016 deposition for a defamation lawsuit that she learned about abuse claims “like everybody else, like the rest of the world, when it was announced in the papers”.
