I was continually struck by the resilience and courage of the victims who put their faith and trust in this process.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Already, 92% of eligible claimants accepted their offers of compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ghislaine Maxwell \u2014 the former girlfriend and close associate of Epstein \u2014 is currently being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/09\/jeffrey-epstein-fund-gave-sex-crime-accusers-nearly-125-million.html\"><span>held<\/span><\/a><span> in prison without bail due to her alleged role in grooming minors to be abused by Epstein. In March, New York prosecutors asserted that Maxwell paid a fourteen-year-old girl to have sex with the financier.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The attorneys said Maxwell <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ghislaine-maxwell-charged-with-sex-trafficking-of-14-year-old-girl\"><span>called<\/span><\/a><span> victims to \u201cschedule an appointment for the victim to massage Epstein\u201d at his home in Florida. \u201cWhen a victim initially arrived at the Palm Beach Residence, she would be greeted by an employee of Epstein\u2019s, including, at times, Maxwell. The victim would then be escorted to a room with a massage table.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOnce inside, the victim would provide a nude or semi-nude massage for Epstein who would himself typically be naked,\u201d reads the indictment. \u201cDuring these encounters, Epstein would escalate the nature and scope of the physical contact to include sex acts such as groping and direct and indirect contact with the victim\u2019s genitals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last week, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bill-gates-says-relationship-with-jeffrey-epstein-was-a-huge-mistake\"><span>The Daily Wire<\/span><\/a><span> reported that Bill Gates regrets his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 who allegedly committed suicide in his jail cell \u2014 because the association contributed to the demise of his relationship with his wife, Melinda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of, you know, being there,\u201d Gates told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. \u201cYou know, there were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
