Who was Sarah Ransome ?

One of Jeffery Epstein’s victims described the abuse she suffered in her victim impact statement, revealing that she attempted suicide twice after being locked up in Ghislaine Maxwell’s dungeon as the British socialite faces sentencing.

Sarah Ransome, 37, said in her victim impact statement released Tuesday that she once attempted to jump off a cliff while on Epstein’s private St. Little James Island in the U.S. Islands. US Virgins

“On a visit to the island, the s*xual demands, degradation and humiliation led me to try to escape by jumping off a cliff into shark infested waters.

Maxwell and company caught me moments before I jumped. At the time, that extremely risky escape seemed more appealing than being raped all over again.”

Maxwell faces up to 55 years in prison when she is sentenced for recruiting and trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

Ransome said she was only 22 years old when she arrived in New York hoping to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Attacked

She said she was attacked by an Epstein-Maxwell recruiter named Natalya Malyshev at a club, who arranged for her to meet the billionaire who allegedly promised to help provide financial support for her to attend her dream school.

“Epstein and Maxwell were masters at finding young and vulnerable girls and women to exploit,” Ransome said.

“However, shortly after lulling me and others into a false sense of comfort and security, they swooped in and sucked us into their twisted, upside-down world of rape, rape, and more rape.

‘Like Hotel California, you could check into Epstein-Maxwell’s s*x hell dungeon, but you could never leave. Ghislaine, by her own hand, forced me into Epstein’s room to be raped.

Although Ransome was able to escape to the UK in 2007, she said she started drinking heavily because she was constantly haunted by what happened to her, fearing that “one day Epstein and Maxwell would hurt me, my loved ones and my family, like Epstein.” he repeated.” she told me it would happen, if she ever dared me to leave.

The trauma suffocated Ransome to the point where she attempted suicide a year later when Epstein was facing trial, and then she made another attempt to take her own life in 2018, during her case against Maxwell and other Epstein associates.

“Despite my fervent effort, I have not realized my God-given potential professionally or entered into healthy personal relationships,” Ransome said. ‘I have never been married and I have no children, something I always wanted, even as a child.

“I avoid strangers and have a hard time making new friends because I fear they may be associated with Epstein, Maxwell and the enablers.

‘To this day, I attend AA meetings, but I have had numerous relapses and I know that it is only by the grace of God that I am still alive,’ she added. “Maxwell is today the same woman I knew nearly 20 years ago, incapable of compassion or common human decency.”

Victims

Victims Annie Farmer and the woman known only as ‘Kate’ must also read their testimony in person and face Maxwell. Farmer was seen arriving at the Manhattan courthouse Tuesday morning flanked by her attorney, along with Ransome and victim Elizabeth Stein.

Ransome also spoke outside the courthouse, saying: ‘Ghislaine must die in prison. I’ve been to hell and back for the last 17 years.

Prosecutors have asked Judge Alison Nathan to impose a sentence of at least 30 years due to Maxwell’s “complete lack of remorse.” Maxwell states that she should only serve four years as she is not a danger to the public.

The sentence will mark the end of a decades-long fight for justice for the victims of Maxwell and Epstein.

Judge Nathan overruled several objections Maxwell’s attorneys made to the pre-sentence report in court Tuesday.

Lawyers disputed multiple claims in the report involving payment details, s*xual acts and recruitment tactics.

Judge Nathan said testimony given during the trial validates the report’s claims.

After Epstein hanged himself while awaiting trial in 2019, her attention turned to Maxwell, who was arrested a year later and found guilty in December following her sensational trial.

She has said that she will appeal her conviction and claims that she is being made a “scapegoat” for Epstein.

It’s unclear if Maxwell will speak for herself, but during the trial and earlier hearings, she only uttered a few words when she had the opportunity.

Jurors deliberated for a full five days before finding Maxwell guilty on five of six counts.

In court, Maxwell used to hug his lawyers and appeared to be in good health despite claims by his lawyers that he had been losing weight and hair due to harsh prison conditions prior to trial.

She refused to testify, telling the court, “Your Honor, the government has not proven her case beyond a reasonable doubt, so there is no reason to testify.”

Four women testified against Maxwell during her trial: a victim known as ‘Jane’, Annie Farmer, Kate and another woman named Carolyn.

For three weeks, the jury heard how Maxwell “served” underage girls for Epstein and enjoyed her role as the “Lady of the House” at her mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

Between 1994 and 2004 Maxwell was Epstein’s ‘right hand man’ and paid $200 for s*xualized massages or even participated in the abuse.

The victims, some as young as 14, were given a similar amount of money if they brought friends to Epstein, the jury was told.

During the trial, prosecutors called 24 witnesses to give the jury a picture of life inside Epstein’s homes, a subject of public fascination and speculation since her 2006 arrest in Florida in a child s*x abuse case.

A housekeeper testified that he was expected to be “blind, deaf and dumb” about the private life of Epstein, a financier who cultivated friendships with influential politicians and business tycoons.

The pilots took the witness stand and called out the names of the luminaries — Britain’s Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump — who flew on Epstein’s private planes.

Jurors saw physical evidence such as a folding massage table once used by Epstein and a “black book” that listed contact information for some of the victims under the heading “massages.”

There were bank records showing that he had wired $30.7 million to Maxwell.
