A third woman who claims she was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein testified Tuesday that the disgraced financier’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell watched, joined in, critiqued her body, and then told her she was “too old” when she turned 18.
“Carolyn,” who said she was abused when she was 13 years old, told jurors she dropped out of school after the seventh grade, was addicted to cocaine and pain pills as a teenager, and had been molested by her grandfather when she was 4. She said her mother, also an addict, didn’t care what she was up to and testified that despite knowing her disturbing backstory, Maxwell still approached her to give Epstein sexualized massages. She also said Maxwell inspected her body.
