The Complex Dynamics of Grooming and Coercion in Childhood Abuse

When Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years jail for sex trafficking crimes, journalist and writer Lucia Osborne-Crowley was there in the courtroom. 

She watched on as Ghislaine Maxwell – a British socialite, and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein – waited to hear her fate. And she listened as her victims testified to the harm inflicted by Maxwell’s predatory actions. 

But the more Osborne-Crowley learned, the more she came to understand the trial as a sham. Many other unnamed, powerful accused perpetrators associated with Epstein and Maxwell are, to this day, still protected. 

Today, Lucia Osborne-Crowley, author of The Lasting Harm, on the survivors of the crimes of Ghislaine Maxwell, and those who got away with it.
