Ghislaine Maxwell Requests A Summary Judgement Against Virginia Roberts (Parts 4-5) (12/24/24)

Beyond The Horizon

In 2015, Ghislaine Maxwell sought summary judgment to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Giuffre alleged that Maxwell defamed her by publicly denying claims that Giuffre had been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and forced into sexual encounters with prominent individuals, including Prince Andrew. Maxwell's motion for summary judgment argued that Giuffre's allegations were baseless and that there was insufficient evidence to support her defamation claims.
The court, however, found that genuine disputes over material facts existed, particularly concerning the truth or falsity of the statements made by both parties. As a result, the judge denied Maxwell's motion for summary judgment, allowing the defamation lawsuit to proceed toward trial. This decision underscored the complexities involved in the case, especially regarding the conflicting accounts and the need for a thorough examination of the evidence presented by both sides.
