Jeffrey Epstein was offering advice to Ghislaine Maxwell as late as 2015, according to newly unsealed documents, despite her lawyer’s statement that the British socialite had “no contact” with the disgraced financier in a decade.

“You have done nothing wrong and I would urge you to start acting like it,” Epstein writes in a typo-ridden January 2015 email to Maxwell, a former girlfriend who says she ran his many properties for years. “Go outside, head high, not as an escaping convict. Go to parties. Deal with it.”
