In Their Own Words: VIrginia Giuffre's Ex Boyfriend Michael Austrich's Deposition (8/3/25)

In a videotaped deposition taken in April 2016, Maxwell was questioned under oath about Giuffre’s allegations of being groomed and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell—allegations that she vehemently denied, calling Giuffre an “absolute liar” and asserting she had no involvement in recruiting or abusing her. Maxwell repeatedly refused to answer questions about alleged sexual activity with minors—labeling them as inquiries into “consensual adult sex”—and insisted she had no knowledge of underage abuse. She denied any wrongdoing or participation in Epstein’s trafficking network, attempting to distance herself from all aspects of Giuffre’s claims.Critics and federal prosecutors later pointed to this deposition as a key piece of evidence in her criminal indictment: they argue Maxwell knowingly made false statements under oath, which became the basis for two counts of perjury in her 2021 criminal charges. Despite her denials, corroborating evidence—including testimony about threesomes with minor girls, flight logs, and recruitment patterns—cast serious doubt on her credibility. Giuffre’s suit was ultimately settled in 2017, reportedly for millions of dollars, but the unsealed deposition—and Maxwell’s fierce denials—now serve as a stark contrast to the weight of testimony and documentation later vetted in court.source:Ghislaine Maxwell Deposition Transcript - DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Stacey Plaskett’s long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates is far more damning than she publicly admits—and no amount of political backpedaling can wash the stench off. As revealed in depositions and legal filings, Plaskett personally solicited a $30,000 donation from Epstein in 2018, visiting his Manhattan mansion years after his 2008 sex crime conviction was national news. The money was initially accepted and only returned when it failed vetting. Plaskett’s ties to Epstein run deeper than a one-off meeting; she previously worked at the law firm of Erika Kellerhals, Epstein’s personal attorney in the Virgin Islands, and later became a key figure in the same Economic Development Authority that granted Epstein’s companies hundreds of millions of dollars in tax benefits. Her claim that she had no idea who or what Epstein really was, even as she stood in his house asking for money, is beyond implausible—it’s insulting.Even worse, Plaskett is the only individual still facing active civil litigation from Epstein victims after a federal judge tossed out broader claims against the Virgin Islands government but allowed the trafficking-related counts to proceed against her personally. That’s not a smear—it’s a legal reality. The survivors accuse her of helping facilitate an environment that enabled Epstein to operate with impunity in the territory, and the court agrees there’s enough meat on those allegations to warrant a trial. Her attempt to sanitize the donations by giving them to charity doesn’t erase the fact that she sought out Epstein’s support well after he was a registered sex offender. Plaskett’s carefully managed public persona as a crusader for justice clashes violently with the uncomfortable accusation: she helped normalize, enable, and politically legitimize a known predator, and now she’s scrambling to rewrite history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Jeffrey Epstein's Island Politics Helped Elect Stacey Plaskett (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and later convicted in December 2021 for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, no plea deal ever materialized. Throughout her pretrial detention and courtroom proceedings, both prosecutors and her defense team confirmed that no agreement had been discussed or pursued. Maxwell continued to deny all wrongdoing, maintaining her innocence and refusing to testify in her own defense, which made any sort of cooperation or leniency effectively off the table. Federal prosecutors also made clear during trial disclosures that no negotiations had taken place, and Maxwell was ultimately sentenced to 20 years in prison without any concessions.n the years since her conviction, speculation has emerged about her potential willingness to cooperate with investigators in exchange for reduced conditions or new privileges, but these developments are post-conviction and unrelated to the original legal process. As of now, any talk of meetings or new discussions with federal authorities represents a fresh phase of potential dialogue—not evidence of a prior deal. The record shows that Maxwell went to trial, was convicted on serious charges, and received a lengthy sentence without any negotiated outcome to soften the blow. In contrast to what many assumed about her deep ties to powerful figures, she never struck a bargain to avoid prison.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wpbf.com/article/queen-for-a-day-how-ghislaine-maxwell-could-be-striking-a-deal-with-prosecutors/33253619#Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In photographs and police video taken during a 2005 raid and entered into evidence at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial, Epstein’s Palm Beach estate was shown to display numerous explicit artworks and photographs of nude women—including what appeared to be Ghislaine Maxwell herself, topless on a sandy beach. The walls in various rooms were adorned with erotic drawings and images of partially or fully nude women, some described by prosecutors as “creepy” and consistent with a disturbingly sexualized décor intended to normalize the abuse occurring in the house.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10868574/nude-photos-of-ghislaine-maxwell-and-young-woman-displayed-at-jeffrey-epstein-palm-beach-mansion-in-raid-footage/amp/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
