Prosecutors said a strange 2002 essay by ‘GMax’ bolsters their case that Maxwell and Epstein were ‘partners’ in a sex-trafficking scheme. Her lawyers dispute that she wrote it.

Ghislaine Maxwell didn’t take the stand at her sex-trafficking trial, but the jury may have heard from her nonetheless.

Prosecutors presented as evidence of her close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein a brief 2002 essay they said she wrote under the name “GMax.” Maxwell, 60, has pleaded not guilty to charges she procured underage girls for sexual abuse by Epstein, her ex-boyfriend and employer, and participated in some of the abuse herself.
