Boies: Remember these girls were abused twice, once sexually years ago and then
a second time when Epstein and Maxwell and all their enablers began these
vicious attacks on their credibility. ... No question about it. Maxwell knows
where a lot of the bodies are buried. If I was somebody who had participated in
their sex trafficking, um, I would not be sleeping easily tonight.

Boies: I think that [the accusers] want to see her go to trial. On the other hand,
the arrest and conviction that would come from a plea deal is an enormous step
and I think they also recognize that Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell did not act alone.
There are lots of other people that need to be brought to justice.

McCawley: I think that the prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have
done an incredible job and they’re being very meticulous, they want to make sure
that the Indictments stick. ...They took a lot of time to be very careful and
thoughtful and that gives me a lot of hope that she will remain in prison for the
remainder of her life. ... This morning was a very joyful and tearful filled
morning, it was a wonderful moment in my journey with these survivors, to be
able to call them and tell them that the one person’s who’s been out in the public
without being held accountable was finally in prison....She was really, Ghislaine
was really the central figure, so she worked hand-in-hand with Jeffrey Epstein to
be able to facilitate these crimes over the course of more than two decades; and
she was the main person who assisted him and allowed him to be able to
perpetrate so many crimes against young females.
