Never-Before-Seen Photo Proves Ghislaine Maxwell Had Every Chance to Flee the Country — and Didn’t

Snapped in the summer of 2013, this seemingly innocuous headshot of Ghislaine Maxwell was taken in France during what would be the final visit with her mother, Elisabeth, who died that August at age 92.

But the image, supplied exclusively to the National Enquirer by Ghislaine’s family, has taken on new significance as her family doubles down on a key argument: Ghislaine could have vanished — but chose not to.

Ghislaine, a French citizen by birth, had every legal right to remain in France, which doesn’t extradite its nationals.

She was not under investigation at the time, and her brother, Ian Maxwell, emphasizes exclusively to the National Enquirer: Had she feared arrest or harbored guilt, she could have stayed behind without consequence.

Instead, she lived in America and made no attempt to leave — even after Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

As Enquirer readers know, the convicted pedophile was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving underage girls.

Ghislaine is currently serving a 20-year sentence after she was convicted in 2022 on five criminal counts — including sex trafficking — for aiding Epstein in his abuse of underage girls.

Ian Maxwell’s full interview with the National Enquirer will be on newsstands Wednesday, July 30.
