Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
I am sending this letter of support knowing it is to be presented to the Court in connection with Ghislaine Maxwell’s renewed bail application. The content of this letter is true and within my knowledge.
I first met Ghislaine Maxwell in [REDACTED] we remained in touch and became close friends and have been in regular contact ever since. I stayed with her in her apartment in New York for some weeks immediately after her father’s death in 1991 and have visited with her on numerous occasions and see her whenever she travels to the UK. She has also stayed with me and my family at our home [REDACTED].
I have always found Ghislaine to be open, honest and trustworthy in all her dealings and therefore had no hesitation when she asked me to be [REDACTED] Ghislaine is transparent in everything she does including in her financial dealings [REDACTED] of TerraMar which, following unwarranted press speculation last year, was investigated by the Charity Commission. No wrongdoing was found whatsoever but the Charity was subsequently dissolved as the connection with Ghislaine allied to relentless media pressure made it an untenable enterprise.
Ghislaine knows my family well, [REDACTED] my children [REDACTED] have known her all their lives, love and adore her and she has always been a great support to them.
Speaking for myself and my family I can confirm that we stand absolutely behind her in her fight to clear her name. I have never known Ghislaine to be involved in anything unlawful and she has always been a loyal, genuine and generous friend. Nor have I ever witnessed any inappropriate behaviour on her part.
