Ghislaine Maxwell, the British brunette whose father once owned the Daily News, has been slapped with a subpoena in suits brought by 24 underage girls against her old friend, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell — whose press-lord father, Robert Maxwell, died in 1991 after falling into the Atlantic off his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine — was served with a subpoena on Sept. 22 at 6:45 p.m. as she was leaving the Clinton Global Initiatives Conference at the Sheraton Hotel.
Florida lawyer Brad Edwards, who represents three of the “Jane Does” who are suing Epstein, told Page Six that Maxwell would be questioned over her knowledge of how Epstein procured many of the girls.
Epstein is accused in the civil complaints of luring underage girls to his mansion in Palm Beach to give him massages, during which he allegedly engaged them in sexual activity and paid them hundreds of dollars each. A grand jury indicted Epstein on a charge of felony solicitation of prostitution. Epstein, who pleaded guilty and did 12 months in prison, was deposed last week in the offices of his lawyer, Jack Goldberger.
Goldberger wouldn’t comment, but a friend of Epstein said, “These [people bringing the complaint] are the lowest of the lows in terms of ambulance-chasing lawyers.” The trials are scheduled to start in February.
Nadia Marcinkova, who has been described as Epstein’s lesbian sex slave and who visited him behind bars 67 times, has also been served with a subpoena.
Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, who has a real-estate holding company in New York, has already been deposed about a building he owns, 301 E. 66th St. “Jeffrey rents several apartments there where he keeps his girls, alleged models for the MC2 agency he owns,” Edwards said. “But Mark acts like he doesn’t even know his brother. He was extremely angry and rude and cursed me out.”
