At the age of 45, at 19 years of continuous sobriety and, after many years of engaging in different
modalities of therapy, I am beginning to see some light in deprogramming my own mind and

Testifying in this trial was both terrifying and retraumatizing.
I do not, however, regret it for one moment. There is nothing more important than protecting
the innocent and, if I was able to provide, in any way, information helpful to understanding the
nature of this type of abuse, as perpetrated by Ghislaine Maxwell, then my pain has had meaning
and therefore not been for naught.
