SHE COULD DESTROY THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MEN

For more than a year, Ghislaine Maxwell has been the most wanted woman in the world.

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, the 58-year-old Oxford-educated daughter of disgraced media mogul Robert Maxwell was arrested when the FBI swarmed the rural New Hampshire property she’d recently bought for $1.4 million in cash.

Ghislaine was cuffed while wearing trackies and “barely registering” what had happened.

BLACK BOOK

As Woman’s Day went to press, she was incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, waiting to appear in front of a judge in relation to alleged sex crimes, conspiracy and perjury involving her one-time boyfriend and dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Ghislaine is accused of grooming underage girls – who were mostly forced to masquerade as masseuses – for Epstein and his powerful friends. Epstein, 66, died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell last year while awaiting trial on federal charges of sexually abusing underage girls and running a sex trafficking ring.

Ghislaine has the key to her ex’s photos, surveillance footage and worst of all for some of the world’s most famous names, the black book featuring the name of every celebrity, royal and politician who entered into his evil web.
