Maxwell accuser details graphic sexual abuse
10 Dec, 2021 20:27
Annie Farmer, the only woman testifying under her real name in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trafficking trial, has detailed alleged nude massages at the hands of Maxwell and “cuddles” with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Farmer, who first accused Epstein of sexually abusing her 25 years ago, took the stand on Friday in the trial of Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend and alleged madam. As well as accusing Epstein of sexually abusing her, Farmer has previously called Maxwell “a sexual predator who groomed and abused me and countless other children and young women.”
Speaking under oath in a Manhattan courtroom, Farmer recounted how Epstein, who had hired her older sister as an artist, paid for her to visit his ranch in New Mexico in 1996 – under the auspices of discussing her studies. Upon arrival, Farmer said that Maxwell instructed her to massage Epstein’s feet, before telling her to disrobe and giving her a massage.
“She pulled the sheet down and exposed my breasts, and started rubbing on my chest and on my upper breast,” Farmer told the court, adding “I just wanted so badly to get off the table.”
The following morning, Farmer said that Epstein “bounded” into her bedroom “saying he wanted to cuddle.”
“He climbed into bed with me,” she said, “He pressed his body into me.”
Defense lawyer Laura Menninger then attempted to paint Farmer’s account as unreliable, as she had not provided any journal or diary entries detailing her time in New Mexico, or precisely how old she was at the time. Farmer first met Epstein in New York a year earlier, and that time wrote journal entries detailing unwanted advances from the notorious sex offender during a trip to a movie theater. Menninger also suggested during cross-examination that Farmer may be attempting to profit from accusing Maxwell, albeit without explaining how.
Epstein – a convicted child sex offender – was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. His death, ruled a suicide, turned attention to Maxwell, who was arrested a year later and hit with a similar litany of charges, including conspiracy, underage sex trafficking, and enticement and transportation of a minor.
If convicted, Maxwell, 59, faces up to 80 years in prison.
The court has thus far heard harrowing testimony from other accusers, who unlike Farmer testified under pseudonyms. The process has also turned up evidence of Maxwell and Epstein’s connections with the rich and powerful, including US presidents and the British royal family, and accounts of Epstein’s appetite for young women.
God bless you Annie Farmer. May you get healing from what these monsters did to you.
Ex-Tory MP found guilty of raping sleeping wife
10 Dec, 2021 16:34
Former Conservative minister Andrew Griffiths has been found guilty of raping his sleeping wife and subjecting her to coercive control, a UK judge ruled on Friday.
The ruling, released on Friday, outlined the allegations made by his then-wife Kate Griffiths during their five-year marriage. At the conclusion of the case, the judge accepted the claims that he had pressured her into sex, as well as physically and verbally abusing her.
Among the charges, Kate, who replaced her ex-husband as Conservative MP for Burton, claimed he raped her when she was asleep and exerted coercive control over her. Andrew “adamantly denied” the charge of rape, as well as rejecting the other allegations made.
Andrew was forced to resign from his position as a government minister in 2018 when it was reported that he sent around 2,000 sexually explicit messages to female constituents. He stood down as MP at the next election in 2019.
It just astonishes me how some people can get voted into a parliamentary position without a brain in their head.
The allegations of abuse were made during a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where Andrew was seeking to get more time to spend with a child at the center of the case. Media outlets had initially been prohibited from naming either Andrew or Kate Griffiths but, following an application by two journalists, Kate backed removing their anonymity.
Since the case was heard in a civil court, Judge Elizabeth Williscroft’s ruling was made based on a lower standard of proof than would be required for criminal prosecution.
CNN producer charged with shocking underage sex crimes

A CNN producer who worked alongside former host Chris Cuomo has been arrested and charged with luring minors to his home for sexual activity. The accused pedophile wanted to “train” his victims to be “sexually submissive.”
John Griffin, 44, worked alongside disgraced CNN host Chris Cuomo on ‘New Day’, and most recently served as producer for John Avlon, the liberal network’s senior political analyst. Outside of work, however, the Connecticut man’s interests were dark and disturbing, and Griffin was arrested on Friday and charged with three counts of attempting to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.
According to a statement from the Justice Department, Griffin used instant messaging apps last year to contact the parents of minor daughters, persuading them “to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive.”
A “woman is a woman regardless of her age,” he allegedly said.
In June he allegedly told one mother that her nine- and 13-year-old daughters should be “trained properly,” and paid $3,000 for the woman and the nine-year-old to fly from Nevada to Boston. From there he is accused of driving them to his house in Ludlow, Vermont, where “the daughter was directed to engage in, and did engage in, unlawful sexual activity.”
The accused pedophile also targeted two other minors. In one instance last April, he is accused of holding a “virtual training session” where he instructed a mother to undress and molest her 14-year-old daughter. In June he allegedly proposed that another mother bring her 16-year-old daughter to his house for a “little mother-daughter trip,” where the daughter would be abused.
If convicted, Griffin faces between 10 years and life in prison for each count.
CNN has washed its hands of Griffin. In a statement to the Daily Mail on Friday, the network said that it takes “the charges against Mr. Griffin incredibly seriously.”
“We only learned of his arrest this afternoon and have suspended him pending investigation,” a CNN spokesperson added.
What were the mothers thinking? How stupid can you be?
