Jane, who said she was sexually abused by both Epstein and Maxwell at the Palm Beach mansion, didn’t allege any improper behavior by Trump. But she wasn’t asked by Maxwell defense attorney Laura Menninger why Epstein took her to see Trump at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Palm Beach. Juan Alessi, who worked at the Palm Beach home from about 1990 to 2002, made the startling claim on the fourth day of Maxwell’s child sex-trafficking trial in federal court in Manhattan.Alessi testified that he saw “many, many, many females,” at the estate. The Florida mansion of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was often teeming with topless young women and Ghislaine Maxwell was the “lady of the house” who  enforced his rules, a former property manager testified Thursday.

Weinstein has filed a notice of appeal in the Los Angeles case but has not filed an opening brief, so the district attorney could not comment on any specific issues the defense team intends to raise. The office said, however, that it was "confident" the conviction would hold up under appeal. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in a statement it was "saddened" by the New York appeals court's decision but noted, "The legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are not present in the Los Angeles County case." Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction on rape charges has been overturned by the State of New York Court of Appeals, which ordered a new trial. Weinstein will remain behind bars since he was convicted in a separate case in California. Alessi said he was also tasked with having to clean the sex toys that were stored in Maxwell's closet.

Ghislaine Maxwell found guilty of helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls

He has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for those charges, which he was expected to serve after his New York sentence. The trial came after media reports began to surface in late 2017 of misconduct accusations against Weinstein, and dozens of women came forward and accused him of sexual assault. "Although victims have lost this battle they have not lost the war," Allred said. "We will continue to fight for justice for victims both in criminal and civil cases until there is a fair trial not just for the accused but also for those who allege that they are victims of sexual predators." Lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor, who has represented eight Weinstein accusers, including two of the witnesses in the New York trial, called Thursday's decision a "major step back in holding those accountable for acts of sexual violence." The court found that the judge who presided over the disgraced movie mogul's case had made a mistake by allowing prosecutors to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the charges against him, according to the 4-3 decision.

News of the sale comes less than a year after the islands were mentioned repeatedly by the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York in a sentencing memo seeking decades of prison time for Ghislaine Maxwell; she was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring to sexually abuse minors. Virgin Islands, figured prominently in the civil and criminal cases against Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. That's especially true of Little St. James, where numerous young women have said in court papers that they were taken via private jet before being ordered to perform sexual acts with Epstein and other men.

Breaking ground at the beginning of the Great Depression, the house got off to what is in hindsight an ominous start. It was built by architect Horace Trumbauer for Herbert N. Straus, the son of Macy’s owners (and Titanic victims, whose death is depicted in the movie) Isidor and Ida Straus. The younger Straus died in 1933 and never lived in it himself; his heirs donated it to the Catholic Church in 1944, when work had still not been completed on it, and it became a hospital. The Birch Wathen School, a private academy that serves kindergarteners through 12th graders, bought the house in 1962, then sold it to Epstein’s mentor Leslie Wexner in 1989 for $13.2 million, which was at the time the highest-ever sale price for a  Manhattan townhouse. Despite dumping millions into subsequent renovations, Wexner never really lived in it either, and he and the house were featured in a 1996 New York Times story about rich people who buy homes they never use. Epstein acquired the house in 1998 under somewhat opaque, vaguely suspicious circumstances — it was placed in a trust he controlled jointly with Wexner, and the title was transferred for a price of $0 —  and moved in.

Epstein’s outlook worsened when a judge denied him bail July 18, 2019 — raising the prospect that he’d remain locked up until trial. Four days later, Epstein was found on the floor of his cell with a strip of bedsheet around his neck. In 2022, a federal judge sentenced Ghislaine Maxwell to 20 years in prison for her part in the sex-trafficking ring she helped Epstein run for a decade.

While Gates has spoken about having spent time with Epstein, his name was not in the unsealed court records. The scale of Epstein's activities would require a host of participants and enablers — including those who didn't sexually exploit young women themselves, but instead helped Epstein maintain a sprawling enterprise of wealth and access that allowed him to live outside of the law. The allegations are extraordinary, as they claim acts of illegal sexual predation took place within an elite world of power and influence. For people following the story, the unsealed documents contain the most detailed allegations yet of how a trafficking ring intersected with the highest social circles. Horowitz called the Bureau of Prisons’ failures troubling not only because staff did not keep watch over a person in their custody, but also because Epstein’s death prematurely ended the process of criminal justice. The staff’s failures “effectively deprived Epstein’s numerous victims of the opportunity to seek justice through the criminal justice process,” the report said.

"Harvey Weinstein is a stone-cold predator. He's a rapist, twice convicted. Not once, twice," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday when asked about the New York ruling, CBS Sacramento reported. Virgin Islands, said he plans to build a "world-class destination" on the two islands. He pledged that the project will bring economic benefits to the region, while also respecting its local culture and natural beauty. Three other women are expected to testify against Maxwell at the trial in the Southern District of New York, which started Monday and is expected to last six weeks. Following Epstein’s 2019 arrest, Trump told reporters that he was “not a fan” of him. All of them say they were teenagers when Maxwell and Epstein lured and sexually exploited them when they were teenagers in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Previously, police had said a woman and 17-year-old male were being questioned. Last fall, Mayes charged two local officials who delayed the certification of midterm election results in 2022 in Cochise County. The officials voted against certifying the county’s election results by the statutory deadline after they aired baseless accusations about the integrity of the election for months. The county certified its election results only after a court ordered it to do so. The Arizona charges are the latest example of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election sprouting into legal cases during his 2024 bid to retake office. "We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state," Mayes said in a video announcing the charges.

He is also believed to be one of the unidentified co-conspirators special counsel Jack Smith described in his federal election interference indictment of Trump last year. In the 2020 trial, Weinstein, now 72, was found guilty of rape in the third degree for sexually assaulting an actress in 2013 and of committing a criminal sex act by forcing oral sex on a former production assistant in 2006. Virgin Islands government is due to receive half of the proceeds from the sale of Little St. James — and use the money to establish a trust to fund support services and counseling for victims of sexual abuse and human trafficking.

Prosecutors said Epstein's abuses spanned continents just like his splashy lifestyle, from his "Zorro Ranch" in New Mexico to properties in New York City, Palm Beach, Fla., and most notoriously, his own private island in the U.S. Epstein became a registered sex offender in Florida in 2008, after pleading guilty to state charges as part of his deal with the U.S. government. Lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who helped Epstein secure his controversial non-prosecution agreement in Florida, also appears. It's worth noting that in the years since some of the testimony was recorded, Giuffre, who had accused Dershowitz of sexually assaulting her, settled her dispute with him in 2022, saying that it was possible she was mistaken. Judge Preska eventually ordered many records unsealed in full, noting that in some cases, the people in question hadn't objected.

Our affiliate reports there are also nude photos of women throughout the house. In recent years, large banks such as JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank, both of which had dealings with Epstein, have agreed to pay hundreds of millions dollars to settle lawsuits related to Epstein's actions. The identities of many people who spent time with Epstein have long been shrouded by legal protections.

Also mentioned is Britain's Prince Andrew — who settled a case filed by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in 2022, after denying having met her. Many of the most prominent individuals were already known to have links to Epstein because of previous court cases or disclosures in the media. Most of those publicly named have denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities previously. Before it became infamous as Jeffrey Epstein's house of horrors, 9 East 71st Street was a gilded mansion with an illustrious past. Accuser Jane said she was first approached by Maxwell and Epstein at the summer camp when she was 14 years old, Insider's Jacob Shamsian reported. The average home price in Palm Beach is more than $7 million, making it one of the most sought after areas to live in the US.

Strangely, over the course of nearly 90 years, Epstein is the only person who’s ever actually lived there. According to the New York City Medical Examiner's Office, Epstein hanged himself earlier this month while facing new criminal charges of sex trafficking. A federal judge is now expected to dismiss the criminal case against the disgraced financier. Roughly a month after his arrest on sex-trafficking charges in 2019, he died after being found unresponsive in his jail cell in Manhattan.
