One of the four survivors who testified at Gislaine Maxwell’s trial is one of the few who raised Trump. She did not accuse him of fraud.

- A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse testimony at Gislaine Maxwell’s trial said she met Epstein and Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14.
- Survivor “Jane” was a contestant for Trump’s Miss Teen America pageant, but did not explain inappropriate behaviour by Trump.
- Maxwell recently spoke with the Associate Attorney General about a potential Epstein accomplice under limited immunity.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A South Florida child sex abuse survivor who testified at the Gis Lane Maxwell trial in 2021 said he met Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump in Marlago in the 1990s at the age of 14.
The pseudonym “Jane” is one of the few Epstein survivors who publicly said they had met Trump through Epstein. But she never explained the inappropriate behavior by the President, but she never said any more about the meeting, including why she and Epstein were there. Trump has never been formally accused of taking part in or knowing Epstein’s crimes.
Jane said she took part in the pageant in 1998, but it was not clear whether it was before or after Mar-a-Lago’s introduction. According to a 2016 BuzzFeed report, four contestants in 1997 say they were walking through the changing rooms while they were dressed.
Trump and Epstein lived within two miles of the island each, moving around at about the same time. Trump in 1985 and Epstein in 1990.
Their relationship has returned to the spotlight to raise transparency into Epstein’s case, in the face of pressure from Republicans, his own supporters and Democrats.
Trump said he was “killed out of his club because he was creeped.”
“I drove him out, that was it. If you know the truth, I’m happy you did that,” Trump told reporters on July 28 at a meeting with British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer.
Ghislaine Maxwell has limited immunity
Maxwell ended the two days by speaking with Associate Attorney General Todd Blanche in federal court in Tallahassee from July 24-25.
Blanche granted limited immunity to answer questions about possible Epstein accomplices, perhaps, possible questions. Trump said he could forgive her, but he didn’t say he would.
The meeting took place in response to a controversial fire from Trump’s own base on July 7, after the Justice Department announced in a memo that it had not found a “client list” evidence from Epstein’s documents and other digital evidence.
The agency also said it would not make any more public. Furthermore, no evidence was found that could launch an investigation into “third parties” or why Epstein believed everyone had threatened, the memo said.
The memo confirmed previous reports of more than 1,000 Epstein victims.
One of them, Jane, led four victims who testified about the prosecutors at Maxwell’s 2021 trial. Maxwell was convicted of a minor in sex trafficking and was sentenced to 20 years in 2022. She spends her time at the federal prison in Tallahassee.
Jane was one of two Florida victims. The other is Carolyn Andriano, 36, of Wellington, Florida, who was found dead a year after Maxwell’s sentencing for an accidental drug overdose in a hotel room in West Palm Beach. At least one ju umpire said that she found her testimony to be very persuasive and helped lead the group to conviction.
Jane said she met Epstein and Maxwell in 1994. He is 14 years old at an arts camp in Michigan, and is refreshing from his father’s sadness. Maxwell was walking with Yorkie and Jane asked to keep a dog. Soon Epstein joined them at a picnic table, and they talked about how they were all Palm Beach County residents. Epstein, the camp benefactor, had a cabin nearby.
A few weeks later, 8th grade Jane and her mother were invited to the Palm Beach Mansion in Epstein for tea. Jane went back for a week or so without her mother.
Maxwell initially acted like a sister, Jane testified, but she was focused on showing how to sexually please Epstein. Jane said Epstein sexually abused her for the first time in his pool house at his Palm Beach property.
Soon after that, Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused her, she said. The abuse occurred not only in Palm Beach, but also in New York City and Epstein’s homes in New Mexico.
Jane spoke to authorities in 2019
Jane said she stopped seeing them around 2002, and that was the first time she’d told anyone. Her ex-boyfriend confirmed her story in the stands. She spoke to law enforcement in 2019, she said. Because as an actor, she was afraid of the impact of her career.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of a minor in sex trafficking. Three weeks later, awaiting trial, he was found dead in his Manhattan prison.
