I knew Ghislaine Maxwell for over 10 years. It was her calculating and sadistic manipulation that anaesthetized me, in order to deliver me, with full knowledge of the heinous and dehumanizing abuse that awaited me, straight to the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. Without Ghislaine, Jeffrey could not have done what he did. She was in charge. She egged him on and encouraged him. She told me of others she recruited, and she thought it was funny. She pretends to care, only to garner sympathy and enjoys drawing her victims in with perceived caring, only to entrap them and make them feel some sense of obligation to her through emotional manipulation. She was the predator and a monster. The sociopathic manner in which she nurtured our relationship, abused my trust and took advantage of my vulnerability, makes it clear to me that she would have done anything to get what she wanted, to satisfy Mr. Epstein. I have great fear that Ghislaine Maxwell will flee, since she has demonstrated, over many years, her sole purpose is that of self-preservation. She blatantly disregards and disrespects the judicial system, as demonstrated by her perjuring herself and bullying anyone who dared accuse her. I have great fear that she may seek to silence those whose testimony is instrumental in her prosecution. In fact, when I was listed as a witness in a civil action involving Maxwell, I received a phone call in the middle of the night, threatening my then 2-year old's life if I testified. EFTA00031357 I have fear speaking here today, even anonymously. However, I have chosen to implore the court not grant bond for Ms. Maxwell because I know the truth. I know what she has done, I know how many lives she has ruined and because I know this, I know she has nothing to lose, has no remorse and will never admit what she has done. Please do not let us down by allowing her the opportunity to further hurt her victims, or evade the consequences that surely await her if justice is served. If she believes she risks prison, she will never come back. If she is out, I need to be protected. I personally know her international connections, that would allow her to go anywhere in the world and disappear at a moment's notice, or make others disappear, if she needs to. EFTA00031358
