Ghislaine Maxwell to reveal identity of ‘8 John Does’

The British socialite and convicted sex-trafficker has ended her fight to keep the identity of eight “John Does” a secret, her lawyer said in a letter.

Convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell will no longer fight to protect the identity of eight men who allegedly had sex with young women she and her billionaire paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein procured for them.

A lawyer for Maxwell stated in a letter to federal Judge Loretta Preska this week that she would no longer object to the identities of the “John Does” in a 2015 civil lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre, the New York Post reports.

“After careful review of the detailed objections submitted by Non-Party Does 17, 53, 54, 55, 73, 93, and 151, counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell writes to inform the Court that she does not wish to further address those objections,” the January 12 letter, signed by Laura Menninger, said.

The letter was written the same day that a Manhattan federal court judge refused to dismiss Giuffre’s case against Prince Andrew.
