Ghislaine Maxwell had everything - model looks, connections, charm, a billionaire father, adoring siblings - yet on 2 July 2020 she was arrested by the FBI on multiple underage-sex charges. Find out the breath-taking real story behind the headlines, programs and documentaries. Ghislaine Maxwell's life of privilege was unimaginable. Her world was not only made up of the Clintons, top billionaires, Hollywood stars and, in Australian Katherine Keating, but also of princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses, all as regular friends - including university friend Prince Andrew, the favourite son of the Queen. Yet, she still wanted more. Ghislaine met shadowy billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and amassed a fortune of almost 30 million dollars. Her arrest by the FBI in July 2020 - almost a year to the day of Epstein's second arrest on sex charges - proved a stinging fall from grace as 30 million dollars bail was refused. Ghislaine Maxwell leaves no stone unturned and is the first investigation based on all new sources available, including the lawsuit brought by Cairns-based Virginia Giuffre. An explosive true story, Ghislaine Maxwell is a gripping tale of wealth, power, and allegations and counter allegations in a murky tale at the heart of the global jetset.- Subjects: Biographies.; True crime stories.; Maxwell, Ghislaine.; Human trafficking.; Rich people.; Sex offenders; Sex scandals.; Socialites;

- The spider : inside the criminal web of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell / by Levine, Barry,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Who was Jeffrey Epstein? A Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist unearths never-before-reported details in the most comprehensive account yet of the disgraced financier's life, death, and criminal web, including the role of Ghislaine Maxwell. By now, the basic contours of Jeffrey Epstein's horrendous crimes--his decades-long serial abuse of young women and underage girls--are familiar. But for all that has been written about Epstein since his shocking death in a lower Manhattan jail cell, an astonishing amount remains unknown. A shy Brooklyn kid turned renegade financier, Jeffrey Epstein never wanted to play by the rules of polite society. He was elusive in life and he has remained just as elusive in death. What is known is that he had amassed nearly $600 million by the time of his death. That fortune allowed Epstein to pursue a privileged, secretive life, jetting between his fortress-like homes in Manhattan, New Mexico, and Little St. James, his private island. Behind these closed doors, Epstein socialized with scientists and world leaders and preyed on powerless young women. In this dogged work of reporting, Barry Levine shines a light into the darkest corners of Epstein's world. Featuring rare and never-before-seen photographs, The Spider exposes how Epstein operated and evaded justice for so long-and how he drew so many others into his criminal web.- Subjects: Biographies.; True crime stories.; Epstein, Jeffrey, 1953-2019.; Maxwell, Ghislaine.; Capitalists and financiers; Corruption; Sex offenders; Sex scandals.;
