During a press conference on Maxwell’s arrest this week, the SDNY reiterated, “We would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with us, we would like to have the benefit of his statement.”

Meanwhile, victims rejoiced at Maxwell’s arrest, after a year of worrying that Epstein’s enablers would never be held accountable. Marijke Chartouni, who says Epstein assaulted her in 2000 during a visit to his New York mansion, said she could finally exhale. “There’s a renewal of hope, where you haven’t lost complete faith in the justice system.”

“Someone will be held accountable,” she added. “Finally.”

“One of the things that [had] disappointed me this year is that Ghislaine Maxwell [was] still walking around a free woman,” Giuffre told The Daily Beast.
