Matthew Steeples reflects on shamed sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction and slams the BBC and Sky News for their coverage of the verdict; he also calls on the Met Police to reopen their 1994 investigation into the deviant’s activities in London
As Ghislaine Maxwell’s totally deserved transition from being a super-connected “Miss Moneybags” to going down in history as nothing but a “Mendacious ‘Monster Moving’ Mucky Madam” sets in concrete, the BBC and Sky News have been quite rightly called out over their disgracefully lax coverage of her conviction.
When the guilty verdicts on five out of the six charges came in last night, wall-to-wall coverage began across all media channels, but both aforementioned stations got it totally wrong in how they presented the story. Frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves and frankly, they owe the victims an apology.
In the case of Sky News, I was amongst those calling the channel out on Twitter as they continued to call ‘Cap’n Bob’s’ decidedly deviant daughter a “socialite” when in fact they should have replaced that description with “convicted sex offender.” Miss Maxwell, it must now be noted, will simply go down in history as a wicked wench abused by her monstrous father who then who turned to wickedly abusing others in cahoots with her monstrous associates.
Worse still elsewhere, the BBC tripped up in an even bigger manner in asking lawyer Alan Dershowitz – a man who once stated of his ‘activities’ at the croaked paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s Lenox Hill, New York mansion: “I kept my underwear on during the massage” – on to comment on the verdict in spite of the fact he has been accused of being one of Virginia Giuffre’s sexual abusers.
Responding on Twitter, human rights lawyer Caoilfhionn Gallagher got over 16,900 likes when she remarked:
“Sorry, what?! @BBCNews now have Alan Dershowitz on to analyse #GhislaineMaxwell’s conviction, without any reference to his background; he’s simply introduced as ‘constitutional lawyer’ as if he’s a neutral expert. Shocked. Utterly bizarre decision & does the audience a disservice.”
“It’s the choice to interview him, but more importantly 1) not contextualising in any way: no mention of Dershowitz having acted for Epstein,or that Virginia Giuffre accused him of abuse, or the defamation suits, & 2) giving him a platform to undermine Giuffre, unchallenged. Appalling.”
“I’m adding to this Thread given some replies simply to say that I’m generally an admirer of BBC editorial standards, & as a media lawyer I understand pressures with breaking news stories. But in my view there were many mistakes here. I hope @BBCNews will acknowledge this & apologise.”
“I see some others have pulled @BBCNews up on this terrible decision-making tonight, too. See these other threads on Dershowitz being interviewed as a ‘legal expert’ on the #GhislaineMaxwellTrial #GhislaineMaxwell, by @sarahchurchwell & @NadiaWhittomeMP.”
Going further subsequently, British Labour MP Nadia Whittome quite rightly added:
“Alan Dershowitz, who was accused of the same crimes as Prince Andrew, is on the BBC trying to silence victims following Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction. I can’t believe this needs to be said but the BBC should not give a platform to people accused of child sexual abuse.”
Turning to analysis of a woman described by her father – a pig-like murdering maniac nicknamed ‘Bouncing Bob’ after his cheques went awry after he stole £500 million from his company’s own pension fund (that has to this day never been found) – as being “just like me,” victim Sarah Ransome this morning shockingly told Sky News:
“Ghislaine was the main enforcer. Jeffrey said: ‘You answer to Ghislaine. She is the lady of the house.’ … She forced me into Jeffrey’s house in order to be raped… [Afterwards] I looked at her and that’s why it is really important for me to have looked at her and said: ‘You forced me into that room to be raped.’ And she smiled. I smiled right back at her.”
Indicative of how vile a person Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover and procurer truly is, this description of a woman known for putting dildos on dinner tables as part of place settings provides illustration that she is most definitely just like her deranged daddy – someone with utterly no moral compass.
In the end for Ghislaine Maxwell her lush life and privilege was no protection. May this evil woman, a person who believed she could get through based on “manners and magnetism,” now get what she deserves; to end of her days rotting in eternal hell. A second trial now looms large and though she’ll appeal the first, this murky menace would do well to remember a tweet from her very own account of the 20th December that read: “Remember money, manipulation and memory.” In the end, that’s what actually got her.

The socialite of the slammer will find herself socialising with some remarkably unsociable people for quite a few years. I reckon on 20, so she can be out on her 80th Birthday. That should be long enough for her to look back at the happy times she shared while on bail, good food, computer and so on. It is not quite throwing away the key, but somewhere in the bottom of a dusty old drawer, someone will have to scratch around finding it.
Well guilty as expected, we now wait to see what sort of sentence she cops, I’m thinking around 4 to 5 years on each conviction, so around the 25 year Mark, with elagability for parol after 10 to 15 years. I still can’t fathom out why she went on the run in the USA, she is also a citizen of the UK and France. If she had been arrested in France, there is no extradition with the US, so she probably would have been much better off.
If she ends up getting the maximum sentence allowed for all charges, I think around 65 years, which will be life for her. I hope she decides to cut a deal and starts naming some big names to get a reduction. However, if that happens, she’s going to have to have eyes in the back of her head in the shower rooms.
Live at Bolebeck House in Belgravia and often used to see her in the area. Nice lady and hope she gets an appeal and is out soon. The story has been vastly overblown to what really happened. How does a massage suddenly become an illegal rape and the dates never added up. The jury were also blatantly rushed into a judgement.
George, what Absolute rubbish, a nice lady, are you joking? I suppose you think all her victims were lying as well, and also her father was totally innocent?
Convicted by a jury of her peers; what more do you want? To pretend she knew nothing about this is beyond credibility after all the years with him

There was no proof other than what the girls said. She’d never have been convicted in a UK court as the evidence was clearly not overwhelming. It was 100% heresay
Er, hearsay. You may live in Belgravia but you’re full of crap, denizens of that part of London are generally entitled idiots, prove me wrong.
Prince Andrew should already have been convicted in a UK Court. The creepy lack of moral fiber and healthy energy displayed by the UK in this matter is a reminder of Victorian pornography (we’ve all heard about it).I sense a passive aggressive hide and watch coming from officials in England. The Queen has lost me over this as well and I loved her for decades.
