Four of Ghislaine Maxwell’s siblings - twins Christine and Isabel and brothers Ian and Kevin - link arms as they arrive at NYC court together for the first time as their sister's trial nears conclusion

  • Closing arguments are underway in a Manhattan federal courthouse Monday morning in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking trial  
  •  'She was a sophisticated predator who knew exactly what she was doing,' Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe told the jury Monday
  •  Prosecutors reiterated the allegations made during the weeks-long trial that Maxwell acted as Jeffrey Epstein's 'right hand'
  • 'She was a grown woman who preyed on vulnerable kids,' she added. 'Maxwell was the key to the whole operation'

Four of Ghislaine Maxwell's siblings were pictured arriving at court arm in arm as her trial in New York neared its conclusion today.

Kevin, Isabel, Ian and Christine linked arms as they arrived at the courthouse Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in their sister’s trial.

Kevin and Isabel have been in court most days of the trial and often chat or make eye contact with their sister during breaks in the proceedings.

But it is understood this is the first time all four have been present together since the trial began on November 29. 

Prosecutors labelled Ghislaine Maxwell a 'sophisticated predator' who 'preyed on vulnerable kids' as they presented their closing argument this morning. 

'She was a sophisticated predator who knew exactly what she was doing,' Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe told the jury Monday. 'She ran the same play book again and again and again.' 

'She was a grown woman who preyed on vulnerable kids,' she added. 'Maxwell was the key to the whole operation.' 

Prosecutors reiterated the allegations made during the weeks-long trial that Maxwell acted as Jeffrey Epstein's 'right hand' who caused 'deep' and 'lasting harm' to young girls.

Isabel and Kevin Maxwell have shown up daily to support Ghislaine. 

Epstein accuser Sarah Ransome was also seen arriving with the hopes for a conviction.  

Maxwell confirmed that she would not be testifying in a dramatic moment on the final day of her defense Friday.

Maxwell stood up with her hands held together as her lawyer Bobbi Sternheim put her arm around her.

Judge Alison Nathan asked Maxwell if she would be testifying as she had the right to do so.

Speaking confidently in a cut glass English accent, Maxwell said: 'Your honor, the government has not proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt so there is no need for me to testify.'

And after just two days and nine witnesses, Maxwell’s defense rested.

As Maxwell was led away back to prison at the end of the day, her sister Isabel, who was standing in the public gallery, made a prayer sign for her.

Maxwell hugged all of her lawyers one by one before walking out of the court.

Maxwell's second day of defense got off to a rocky start Friday when it emerged that one witness refused to respond to a subpoena, another said they would take the fifth and a third was not being called.

The defense was able to call witness Dr. Eva Andersson, 60, an internist and former girlfriend of Epstein who is now married to hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin. Glenn, 64, was previously accused of having sex with Virginia Roberts when she was an underage teen - allegations he's denied. 

The former Miss Sweden wore a black blazer, black pants and a gray and black dress, her blonde hair being shoulder length as she denied taking part in orgies.  

In her testimony earlier in the trial, Maxwell accuser under the pseudonym Jane claimed that an 'Eva' had taken part in orgies with her and other women at Epstein's home in Palm Beach, Florida, during the 1990s when she was a teenager.

Maxwell's lawyer Jeff Pagliuca said to Dubin: 'I apologize for asking these questions. Have ever been in a group sexualized encounter with the person we are calling Jane?'

Dubin said: 'Absolutely not.'

Pagliuca said: 'Were you ever in a group sexualized massage with Jane?'

Dubin said: 'I have not'. 

Dubin said that she dated Epstein 'off and on' from around 1983 to 1990 or 1991, the time he began dating Maxwell.

In 1994 she married Glenn Dubin but said that she stayed friendly with Epstein and socialized with him and flew on his private plane, including with her three children.

Pagliuca asked Andersson if she was 'comfortable' with Epstein's relationship with her children, and she said she was.

Pagliuca asked if Epstein was 'fond' of her three children, one of whom was his goddaughter. Dubin said: 'Yes he was'.

Asked if her children were fond of Epstein, Dubin said: 'They were'.

Pagliuca asked if the children had an 'uncle-like relationship' with Epstein and gave him the nickname 'F', apparently short for Jeff, and Andersson said that was correct.

Dubin was shown a number of flight log entries from Epstein's private planes including one where she is listed as flying with Jane.

Asked if she remembered ever meeting Jane, Dubin said: 'I don't recall ever meeting this person'.

Dubin (seen leaving court Friday) dated Epstein for 11 years in the 80s. Dubin's husband is hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, who has been accused of having sex with Virginia Roberts when she was a teen

Pagliuca showed Dubin a photo that was found inside Epstein's house which she said showed her youngest daughter, his goddaughter.

Dubin said she had 'never seen this picture before' in a moment that appeared to surprise the defense.

During her testimony, Pagliuca asked Dubin: 'Did you observe any inappropriate conduct between Mr. Epstein and any teenage females?'

She replied: 'I did not'.

During cross examination prosecutor Alison Moe asked Dubin if she knew if, between 1994 and 2000 Epstein and Maxwell were in an 'open relationship.'

She replied: 'I couldn't really say whether they did or did not'.

Dubin confirmed that she was having issues with her memory due to a medical condition which she did not specify, although she has publicly described a battle with breast cancer.

She said: 'It's very hard for me to remember anything far back. Sometimes I can't even remember things from last month.

'My family notices and I notice it. It's been an issue'.

As Dubin walked into the court, Maxwell turned her head around and looked to the door and followed her with her eyes as she walked in and up to the witness box.

During Dubin's evidence Maxwell stared intently at her, sitting up in her chair. 

During a 2016 deposition which was revealed publicly for the first time in 2019,  Rinaldo Rizzo, a butler for the Dubins, tearfully described seeing a 15-year-old girl in his boss's kitchen in 2005.

Rizzo said he saw a 15-year-old Swedish girl confined to Epstein's private island and kept there as a sex slave.

Rizzo testified in his deposition that the girl was brought to the home by Maxwell and Epstein, who were visiting the Dubins. 

 

What became of the other Maxwell children? As Ghislaine awaits trial, Femail reveals the VERY rocky fortunes of the nine siblings, from dotcom boom millionaires to bankruptcy, divorce and a fatal car crash

A quick glance at the fortunes of the Maxwell siblings and it is difficult not to think the nine children of tyrannical media mogul Robert Maxwell were cursed from the start.

Most famous among them is his youngest - and favourite - Ghislaine, the disgraced socialite who is waiting to stand trial on a string of charges relating to the trafficking minors for her former lover Jeffrey Epstein

Maxwell, who denies all charges, faces a maximum sentence of 80 years in prison if found guilty of abuse, procurement of young girls for Epstein and sex trafficking crimes dating back decades. 

Her brother Ian, 65, the seventh of the nine Maxwell children, has been a vocal supporter of his sister and spoke out again this week in her defence, saying he believes the 'enormous amount of negative media coverage' of the case will 'poison' the jury against her.

Ian has had his fair share of experience in court. In the 1990s, he and younger brother Kevin stood trial for their part in their father's £460 million Mirror Group pension fraud. 

But what of the other Maxwell children?  

MailOnline looks at the fate of Ghislaine's eight siblings, from the brilliant scientist brother who fled to Argentina to escape his father, the children Maxwell bullied, the twins who became dotcom millionaires, and the tragic sister who died in childhood.

Robert Maxwell (back row, centre) pictured with his wife Betty (sat with youngest daughter Ghislaine on her knee) and seven of their eight children at home in Headington Hill Hall, Oxford. When this photo was taken Ian (5) was 11 years old and attending preparatory school, while Isabel, then 17 (4) was at grammar school with their sister Christine (3), and youngest son Kevin, 8, (6) was at preparatory school. Second oldest son Philip, (1), had entered his second undergraduate year at Balliol College, Oxford, while Anne (2) was also studying at the university, but at St Hugh's College. Michael, the eldest, was terminally ill after a car crash

Michael, the tragic first-born child who died in his 20s 

Robert Maxwell married Elisabeth 'Betty' Meynard in 1945 and the couple had nine children over the next 15 years. 

In a 1995 interview, Elisabeth talked of how they were recreating his childhood family who were killed in the Holocaust.

Their eldest child, Michael, was born shortly after the couple wed. However his life was to be cut short. 

Michael was severely injured aged 15 when his driver fell asleep at the wheel on December 27, 1961, just 48 hours after the birth of Ghislaine. 

Michael fell into a coma and never regained consciousness. He died eight years later.

Philip, 73, the brilliant scientist who fled to Argentina 

'Poor Philip' (pictured in 1971) as his friends knew him, was a brilliant scientist and mathematician who won a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford, aged 16.
It is not known where he lives, but he joined his siblings for their 2019 reunion, pictured

'Poor Philip', as his friends always knew him, was a brilliant scientist and mathematician who won a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford, aged just 16.

But he so loathed his domineering father that, as soon as he could, Philip fled to Argentina to get 'as far away from [him] as possible'.

The pair fell out irretrievably when he married Nilda, an Argentinian woman, in 1977, against Robert's wishes.

The marriage didn't last — Nilda moved out taking their daughter Marcella with her and a second marriage also failed.

Philip was last heard of living in a £65-a-week flat in North London trying to be a writer. The subject? His bullying father. 

He joined the siblings for a reunion in London in 2019

Anne, ex-actress called 'ugly' by her father

When her fledgling acting career floundered, her father's reaction was: 'What have you and Pope John Paul II got in common? You're both ugly and you're both failed actors.'

Having studied Italian and French at Oxford, Anne reportedly worked on a television series before giving up her dreams of stardom.

She then trained as a Montessori teacher, married an osteopath and is now believed to be a hypnotherapist in Surrey, practising under another name.

She has kept out of the limelight since her father's death at the age of 68.  

Isabel, 71, a 'fireball' who lost her internet fortune

Once described in The Jerusalem Post as 'a fireball' who is 'always in your face', Isabel was always the Maxwell to watch.

She never wanted to join the family firm, so after graduating from Oxford with a degree in modern languages, followed by a masters from Edinburgh, she became a TV reporter.

In 1981, she moved to California to work in TV before making a film set in 1968 starring rock singer Neil Young. 'It wasn't ET,' she said, '. . . more a labour of love.'

But technology was her future. She and twin Christine co-founded one of the earliest internet search engines, known as Magellan, in 1992.

At one point worth £50million, Isabel, above in 2019, was declared bankrupt in 2015

In 1996, they sold it for shares in a rival company Excite — which rocketed in value, giving the sisters a joint £100 million fortune and landing them a place on the Sunday Times Rich list in 1999. 

However her fortune waned and she was declared bankrupt in 2015. 

She was married twice. Her first husband was U.S. film-maker Dale Djerassi, with whom she has a son, and then she wed Magellan co-founder David Hayden.

Her third 'husband', illusionist Al Seckel, was once a significant player in the Californian literary, academic and celebrity scene. He was famous for holding parties for the great and good. Jeffrey Epstein was a friend.

In 2009, the two men organised a science conference called Mindshift on Epstein's private island Little Saint James.

Isabel and Seckel 'married' in Malibu in 2007 but their union was never legal as he had forgotten to file the papers to annul the second of three previous marriages (to Denice Lewis, a former model who appeared in music videos for Bryan Ferry, Elton John and Cliff Richard. She became an artist specialising in memorial paintings in which the ashes of the deceased are mixed with the pigment.)

Similarly, Seckel had forgotten to repay countless debts over the years that resulted in endless legal proceedings. 

In 2015, Seckel was found dead below a cliff near their home in the village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in France's Lot Valley. Isabel still lives in the south of France. 

Christine, 71, dotcom boom millionaire

Unlike her twin sister Isabel, Christine entered the family business and spent years working for her father - and even published a bestselling book for his Pergamon.

After attending senior school at Milham Ford School in Oxford, she entered Pitzer College, Claremont, California, graduating in 1972 with a BA with a major in Latin American Studies and Sociology.

In September 1973, Maxwell enrolled at Oxford Brookes University's Lady Spencer Churchill College of Education and obtained a post graduate teaching certificate the following year.

She later earned a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas.

Christine was an editor for Pergamon Press Publishers, co-founded by her father, in the early 1970s and remained in his employ in the 1980s. She also spent time as a teacher in Oxford. 

In a rare interview in 1998, she spoke of the years spent in her father's publishing business: 'Both of my parents had a strong work ethic, which they instilled in me and my brothers and sisters when we were very young.

'They also communicated a very clear understanding that advantages always come with responsibilities — that there was no such thing as a free ride.' 

In 1977 she published The Dictionary Of Perfect Spelling (a book with 20,000 words aimed at secondary school pupils) with her father's Pergamon Press. The title became an international bestseller and has been reprinted several times. 

Like her twin, the 1980s and 1990s were dominated by their success in the dotcom boom.  In 1982 Christine acquired Information on Demand, one of the earliest information brokers, which was later renamed Research on Demand.

In 1992, Christine created and co-authored one of the first hard-copy reference guides to the Internet: New Riders Official Internet Yellow Pages and The McKinley Internet Yellow Pages.

Continuing her streak, she co-founded software company Chiliad.

Christine is married to a Roger Malina, an astrophysicist, and the couple share three children.

According to her Linked In profile, Christine holds the position of Program Manager of Learning Technologies at The University of Texas and is a partner at big data firm Techtonic Insight Inc. 

Karine, died of leukemia in childhood 

Robert and Elisabeth's sixth child, Karine, died of leukemia in 1957, aged three. 

Her death shaped how the devastated parents would eventually view the birth of their daughter next daughter, Ghislaine, four years later.  

Karine's death upset the family's 'balance' of 'four boys and four girls', Ian Maxwell explained in an interview. 

'So when my parents had another little girl [Ghislaine] it was really magic, it allowed the four boys and four girls to be recreated,' Ian said. To add to the sense of miracle, she was born on Christmas Day.

Taunted mercilessly at home — his father would ridicule him in front of visiting friends - Ian still decided to join the family business. 

However his poor treatment continued and he was compared unfavourably to his younger brother, Kevin.

In the aftermath of their father's death, Ian, then 35, and Kevin, 32, assumed control of the company and stood trial for their part in their father's £460 million pension fraud.

They were acquitted, but the Maxwell name was mud for years and business opportunities were limited to overseas ventures.

Ian's first wife was an American former college basketball star and model called Laura Marie Plumb.

They met when she moved to London to help set up a TV cable company. The couple married in 1991 — the year of Robert Maxwell's death — and the ensuing media attention put Laura under great strain. On the day that Ian and Kevin were arrested, she was photographed sobbing. The couple divorced in 1996.

Next, he married Tara Dudley Smith, the daughter of a Jockey Club steward and ex-Army officer. But that relationship also ended. He found happiness with Cecilia French, Director of Public Protection at the Home Office.

Recently, after pursuing business opportunities in property, energy and telecoms, mostly outside the UK, Ian and Kevin said they'd felt the urge to do something for the greater good.

So three years ago, in the middle of the Greek financial crisis, they launched an organisation similar to the Prince's Trust in Greece which has raised millions of euros and helped to launch several hundred businesses. 

Maxwell announced in September 2018 that he and his brother Kevin had founded a UK think tank, Combating Jihadist Terrorism (CoJit), with the aim of better understanding terrorism and its causes. 

He has given a number of interviews on his sister's trial and case in recent months, bemoaning the treatment she has received.  

In March 2021 he told The Times Epstein had ruined his youngest sibling’s life — and she is paying for the US authorities’ failure to prosecute him.

The cleverest son and driving force of the family, Kevin was crestfallen by his father's death, saying that he 'missed his presence and ability to dominate'. He admitted to being totally in awe of him.

The only Maxwell sibling ever to express remorse in public for the fallout from Robert Maxwell's crimes, Kevin made reference to the 'moral burden I will bear for the rest of my life'.

His first wife, Pandora Warnford-Davis called her father-in-law Robert the 'fat fraudster'.

When, in June 1992, Kevin was arrested and charged with fraud after hundreds of millions disappeared from the Maxwell empire's employee pension funds, she appeared at the window of their home at dawn and shouted: 'P*** off, or I'll call the police!' only to realise the early morning callers were the police.

In 2007, they divorced after 23 years and seven children together. Pandora was last heard of living in Oxford, renting out a room through Airbnb.

Soon after his arrest, Kevin became Britain's biggest ever bankrupt when a £407 million bankruptcy order was made against him.

The bankruptcy was discharged in 1995, following the mandatory three years. 

And, after an Old Bailey trial that cost taxpayers £12 million in legal aid, he was acquitted of fraud a year later — even though a subsequent Whitehall report concluded Kevin bore a 'heavy responsibility' for what happened. 

In 1998, he went on to co-found media company Telemonde, a US-based commercial vehicle for what he hoped would be 'the Maxwell comeback story'. It was not to be. 

When Telemonde floated in 1999, Kevin looked on course to becoming a multi-millionaire; on paper he owned a seven per cent stake, worth £16 million.

But by 2001, the company had debts of more than £100 million and failed. Kevin then moved into high end commercial property.

His venture came tumbling down in 2011 when he was disqualified from being a director for eight years. 

The brothers also co-founded their think tank in 2018. 

 

The six charges against Maxwell: 

THE CHARGES

Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts (5 years max sentence)  

 Enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts (20 years)

Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity (20 years)

Transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity (10 years minimum, life maximum)

Sex Trafficking Conspiracy

Sex Trafficking of a Minor 

Ghislaine Maxwell also faces two charges of perjury but those counts are due to be tried after her sex crimes trial. 

The charges relate to testimony she gave in 2016 in a defamation case filed against her by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.  

THE 'FACTS' 

Prosecutors say Maxwell groomed three girls between 1994 and 1997 for Epstein. 

They are not named in the indictment, but she allegedly targeted them in London, Florida, New York and New Mexico.

Maxwell, it is alleged, would befriend the girls by asking them about their life and their schooling. She would put them at ease by taking them to the movies and taking them shopping, winning their trust to later deliver them to Epstein, it's alleged.

To 'normalize' the abuse that would come later, prosecutors say she undressed in front of the girls herself and asked them sexual questions. 

She then not only facilitated Epstein abusing them, prosecutors say, but took part in some of it herself. 

The alleged sex abuse includes 'sexualized group massages'. 

The indictment also says Maxwell made the girl feel 'indebted' to Epstein by encouraging them to take money from him and let him pay for their education and travel.
