00:00They asked me to please take off my clothes.

00:04We need to get to the bottom of everybody who was involved with that,

00:08starting with Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:10After developing a rapport with the victims,

00:30Maxwell then tried to normalize sexual abuse with a minor victim

00:34through a process known as grooming.

01:34I want also to thank the press for their courtesy and consideration

01:49to my mother and to us at this time, which we appreciate very much.

02:04It is not because I'm after power.

02:14I believe that I could make mirror newspapers.

02:18I could give them the edge commercially that they have not had for many years

02:23and to make them more profitable.

02:56Each ambassador can hear what we want

03:22and all politicians know that no sustainable ocean means we won't vote them back into power.

03:27If we won't vote them back into the power, then they're out.

03:30We'll find someone who will.

03:43Ghislaine Maxwell and you have devised several schemes to lure underage girls to you for sex.

03:49Isn't that correct?

03:51I was recruited at a very young age from Mar-a-Lago

03:54and entrapped in a world that I didn't understand.

04:08They asked me to please take off my clothes.

04:13Ghislaine started taking off her clothes.

04:16I didn't know what to do.

04:18Ghislaine was behind and touching me.

04:20She had me flip over to my back and then she pulled the sheet down so that my breasts were exposed.

04:26She remembers how Ghislaine then went on to massage her chest.

04:48Maxwell was among Epstein's closest associates

04:58and helped him exploit girls who were as young as 14 years old.

05:05Maxwell played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify,

05:10befriend and groom minor victims for abuse.

05:40I won't stop fighting.

05:49I will never be silenced until these people are brought to justice.
