The cover-up is brazen': one journalist's tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell
"With Epstein dead and Maxwell in jail, who was paying these men? It could be any of the people who are not yet facing charges, says Osborne-Crowley when we meet. Firstly, they can afford it. The weekend I was in Miami, there was a person following me, a person following a survivor in South Africa who was in my book, and a person following a survivor in the UK."
"Ghislaine used to tell them: If you ever tell anyone what's going on here, no matter how far into the future, we will find you and we will stop you.' And in a lot of ways, that promise was kept."
"In November 2025, 28 Epstein survivors released a statement saying many of them had received death threats. They all asked for police protection."
Journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley documented the Jeffrey Epstein case for six years, including writing about the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. While meeting with survivor Carolyn Andriano in Florida, Osborne-Crowley was approached and assaulted by a man who appeared to be investigating her work. In November 2025, 28 Epstein survivors released a statement reporting death threats and requesting police protection. Despite Epstein's death and Maxwell's imprisonment, survivors continue experiencing surveillance and intimidation. Osborne-Crowley suggests unknown wealthy individuals connected to the abuse network may be funding these operations to silence victims, fulfilling Maxwell's historical threats that survivors would be found and stopped regardless of time elapsed.
