Epstein Survivor Recalls Grooming by Ghislaine Maxwell
A woman who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein is talking about her experience with his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
She met Maxwell, who seemed kind and trustworthy, and later introduced her to Epstein.
The survivor believes the files about Epstein should be made public to reveal who was involved in the crimes.
She is skeptical about Maxwell's recent statements and why she is coming out with information now.
She wants people to be aware of the grooming tactics used to manipulate victims.
Epstein survivor Teresa Helm recalled how Ghislaine Maxwell lured girls.
Helm met Maxwell in the early 2000s when she was 22.
Maxwell's questioning by the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer, raised concerns.
Helm believes the Epstein files hold the evidence of the people who helped perpetuate exploitation.
Ghislaine is presently locked up at Florida's FCI Tallahassee, and Epstein died in federal custody in 2019.
