BREAKING NEWS: Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of 5 charges relating to the exploitation and trafficking of minors.

“A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable – facilitating and participating in the s*xual abuse of children. Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. The road to justice has been far too long. But, today, justice has been done. I want to commend the bravery of the girls – now grown women – who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom. Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today’s result, possible. - U.S. Attorney Damian Williams

We are grateful that the voices of survivors were heard during this trial and that action was taken to serve justice to the guilty. (Photo src: Reuters/Jane Rosenburg)

Repost from Operation Underground Railroad
Our Aftercare Team was contacted about an 11-year-old little girl who was exploited on the well-known app, TikTok. She was bored and trying to connect with peers in the outside world. She posted videos throughout her whole day including herself singing in the shower. By the end of the day men began asking her for s*xual pictures. ⁠

She did not understand why they were asking her for things like this because she did not connect the idea that adult men would be paying attention to her videos. When traffickers get pictures or videos of young children they can sell the images within a day to thousands of people throughout the world without ever leaving their homes. We are grateful to local government agencies like Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) that we can refer families to. ⁠

Sexual exploitation can happen without a child even leaving their home. We encourage all to learn about the grooming process and tactics of predators online to prevent them from exploiting more children. ⁠
