Virginia Giuffre speaks out after Ghislaine Maxwell’s verdict – ‘Soul yearned for justice’

Ghislaine Maxwell, 60, has been found guilty in her Manhattan federal court trial after she was arrested in July 2020. Maxwell was convicted on five of the six charges she faced.

Ms Giuffre, 38, who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse while the Duke of York denies these claims, has taken to social media to comment on the trial update.

She wrote on Twitter: “My soul yearned for justice for years and today the jury gave me just that.

“I will remember this day always.

“Having lived with the horrors of Maxwell’s abuse, my heart goes out to the many other girls and young women who suffered at her hands and whose lives she destroyed.

“I hope that today is not the end but rather another step in justice being served.

“Maxwell did not act alone.

“Others must be held accountable.

“I have faith that they will be.”

Maxwell was charged with involvement in her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls.

Damian Williams, the Manhattan US attorney, released a statement following the guilty verdict.  

He said: “A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable: facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children.

“Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein.”

“The road to justice has been far too long.

“But, today, justice has been done. I want to commend the bravery of the girls, now grown women, who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom.

“Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today’s result, possible.”

Out of the six charges, Maxwell was not convicted of enticement of an individual under the age of 17 to travel with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity.
