Despite Ghislaine Maxwell’s eleventh-hour attempt to prevent an explosive document dump from alleged victim Virginia Roberts’s defamation suit, testimonies and legal filings from 2016 were released to the public late on Thursday night, notably revealing what tabloids had long reported, mainly that Maxwell had been in contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein well after his initial prison stint.

In Maxwell’s legal request to be released on bail after her arrest earlier this month, her attorneys asserted that “she’s had no contact with Epstein for more than a decade” before his death in August 2019. The documents released on Thursday belie that claim.
