Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Why is the press obfuscating and minimizing what the pedophiles and predators have clearly done to children?! Why are these crimes not being prosecuted and the rapists being shunned? These powerful men must come to justice. The voiceless victims deserve no less.
