Ghislaine Maxwell is and will become Epstein's principal accomplice.

She's responsible for recruiting, grooming, and facilitating

you know, the abuse and trafficking of underage girls.

She's also, she's living in Epstein's residences.

She's managing aspects of his household.

She's acting as a gatekeeper for him.

So, you know, she's a very important and influential figure in his life.

And she is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who has his own role to play in the story and will look

in more depth at him in our next episode.

With the help of Ghislaine Maxwell and his own connections, Jeffrey Epstein builds a

wild roster of social and financial connections.

There's a long list of influential politicians, business leaders, scientists, academics.

I mean, connections to Bill Clinton, to Donald Trump, to Alan Dershowitz, to Prince formerly known as Andrew, to Woody Allen, to Ehud Barak.

I should say Ehud Barak, the former

prime minister of Israel.

So it's a long and varied list of social connections, right?

Again, we're not making any statement here about the links that those people have to the criminality, right?

Julie K. Brown has written a great book, I think, about Epstein and his criminality.

A little bit of armchair psychology here, but thinks that Epstein's probably a sociopath.

He's got a sexual obsession with underage girls.
