‘The cover-up is brazen’: one journalist’s tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell

Journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley faced threats and sexual harassment while reporting on Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a recent account. In September 2022, while meeting with a key witness in the Maxwell trial, Osborne-Crowley encountered a man who offered her drugs and cash, then sexually assaulted her. This incident occurred after the witness, Carolyn Andriano, reported being visited by a private investigator. Osborne-Crowley states that Maxwell's conviction was "only the start of the quest for justice." Her continued reporting highlights the ongoing challenges and risks associated with investigating figures connected to the Jeffrey Epstein network.
