Epstein Victims Slam Trump Administration for Giving Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Preferential Treatment’

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal sex trafficking operation slammed the Trump administration for pampering the latter in a statement on Friday.
The statement came after Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Donald Murphy confirmed earlier in the day that Maxwell had been moved from a prison in Tallahassee to a minimum-security prison in Texas that CNN reported houses inmates “considered to be low-risk, non-violent and unlikely to escape,” and have “very little or no fencing containing the inmates” so inmates “are able to move relatively freely.”
Maxwell has only served a few years of a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. She met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche twice last month amid the continued controversy over the administration’s handling of the Epstein case.
The statement from victims Annie and Maria Farmer, as well as the family of the late Virginia Giuffre, about Maxwell’s move reads:
It is with horror and outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has received. Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas. This is the justice system failing victims right before our eyes. The American public should be enraged by the preferential treatment being given to a pedophile and a criminally charged child sex offender. The Trump administration should not credit a word Maxwell says, as the government itself sought charges against Maxwell for being a serial liar. This move smacks of a cover up. The victims deserve better.
