The tale of Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous sex ring that enslaved countless underage girls to fulfill the depraved desires of the wealthy and powerful has always been one of pure evil. However, as the facts slowly emerge, it becomes clear that Epstein had a partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell. Without her, Epstein could not have trafficked all those young girls into his sex ring.
Maxwell might not have to pay for the full extent of her crimes, but she was convicted of sexual abuse and sentenced to twenty years in prison. However, there is still hope for her, as she has been trying to file an appeal with the help of her estranged husband, who controls her entire fortune.
Scott Borgerson, Maxwell’s husband, who married her secretly in 2016, has not paid the $900,000 legal fees and the $1 million fee required to challenge her conviction. He has the wealth to help her, but he has ended their relationship and refused to help her fight her legal battles. Borgerson’s refusal to pay means that Maxwell will most likely spend the rest of her life behind bars.
Maxwell needs access to money if she hopes to get out of jail without spending twenty years behind bars. But Borgerson has not transferred the millions of dollars required for Maxwell’s legal team to challenge her conviction. This means that she will likely die in prison serving time for her sex crimes against underage girls.
Sources close to Borgerson and Maxwell believe that he is delaying their divorce to prevent her from getting access to money.
“He thinks if he drags it out, she will give him most of the money,” said one close to the couple. “She is in jail… not much she can do from there.”
However, there might be more to the story. According to a legal source, Borgerson does not trust Maxwell’s legal team and doesn’t want to give them lots of money to pay them off for something they won’t be able to accomplish. “He doesn’t trust what Maxwell’s lawyers are telling him.”
Maxwell and Borgerson first met in 2013 while on a trip to Iceland. Maxwell had previously been married to San Diego billionaire Ted Waitt, but their relationship had failed, and her wealth was vulnerable. When they married, Maxwell gave Borgerson all her money. “Her brothers were astonished to find out that not only was she married, but she had made all her money over to Scott,” said a source close to the family.
Borgerson never visited Maxwell while she was in prison, and he never appeared in court to support her during her trial. Colorado law firm Huddon, Morgan, and Foreman defended the child rapists and have filed a lawsuit demanding $900,000. Court documents detail how Maxwell received millions of dollars from Epstein. But Borgerson claims that that was just “fake news.”
The story of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is a dark chapter in American history. These two monsters preyed on young, vulnerable girls, and the fact that they were able to get away with it for so long is nothing short of a tragedy.
The fact that Maxwell is now facing the full extent of the law is a step in the right direction, but the fact that she might be denied the chance to fight her conviction due to her estranged husband’s inaction is a tragedy in itself. Regardless of whether Borgerson trusts Maxwell’s legal team or not, the fact remains that she needs access to money to fight her conviction. She might have committed heinous crimes, but she still has the right to a fair trial. Let us hope that justice is served and that the victims of these monsters finally get the closure they deserve.
