Virginia Roberts Responds To Ghislaine Maxwell's Request For A Summary Judgement (Parts 4-6) (12/25/24)

Beyond The Horizon

In response to Ghislaine Maxwell's motion for summary judgment in the 2015 defamation lawsuit, Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts) contended that substantial evidence supported her claims, warranting a trial. Giuffre's legal team presented documentation and testimony alleging that Maxwell had recruited her as a minor for Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation and later defamed her by publicly denying these allegations. They argued that Maxwell's statements labeling Giuffre's claims as "obvious lies" were not only false but also damaging to Giuffre's reputation.
Giuffre's opposition emphasized that the case hinged on the veracity of both parties' statements, highlighting disputes over material facts that should be resolved by a jury. The court agreed, finding that genuine issues of material fact existed, particularly concerning the truthfulness of Maxwell's denials and the credibility of Giuffre's allegations. Consequently, the judge denied Maxwell's motion for summary judgment, allowing the defamation lawsuit to proceed toward trial.
