The Department of Justice has announced that they will be meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, former associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to gather information regarding his alleged crimes. Maxwell, who has been charged with aiding Epstein in his sexual abuse of minors, has been a key figure in the case since Epstein's arrest in 2019.
The decision to meet with Maxwell comes after mounting pressure from victims and advocates who have called for a thorough investigation into Epstein's vast network of enablers. The meeting is expected to shed new light on the extent of Maxwell's involvement in Epstein's crimes and could potentially lead to further charges being brought against her.
"We are committed to uncovering the full extent of the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein and anyone who helped facilitate them," said a spokesperson for the Justice Department. "This meeting with Ms. Maxwell is a crucial step in our pursuit of justice for the victims."
The meeting is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, and investigators are hopeful that Maxwell's cooperation will bring them closer to holding all those responsible for Epstein's heinous crimes accountable.
