Former socialite Ghislaine Maxwell may be working on a deal with the Department of Justice, but prosecutors and victims warn she is not to be trusted. The imprisoned former madam of Jeffrey Epstein could provide key evidence related to the billionaire pedophile’s crimes after 2005 — the year previous investigations into his perverted conduct ended —but lawmakers are encouraged not to rely on her words alone. “Does she have information that could potentially help? Yes. Will she be truthful about it? Who knows,” victims’ lawyer Bradley Edwards told MSNBC.
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance also cautioned against accepting Maxwell, 63, at face value, writing on X: “Any ‘new’ testimony she offers is inherently unreliable unless backed by evidence.”

Teresa Helm was coerced by Maxwell into traveling to New York to work as an assistant to Epstein, who subsequently sexually assaulted her. She also cautioned against trusting the convict.
“What I guarantee is that her main intention is to be released,” Helm told The Post, adding she is worried Maxwell will attempt to repeat a version of the ‘sweetheart’ plea deal Epstein made with authorities in 2007 that guaranteed he would not be prosecuted further if he pled guilty to two minor felony counts of engaging in prostitution.
