Ghislaine’s brother made a degree to notice that the previous Duke of York “hasn’t been charged with any kind of sexual offence” and that “the police could have seemed actually exhausting for proof.” Perezcious readers know that the late Virginia Giuffrie accused Andrew of sleeping along with her on three separate events when she was solely 17 after being intercourse trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine. He has vehemently denied the allegations. Now Ian is straight up making an attempt to suggest that no sexual offense ever passed off. Hmm. He then went on to name out the household for not supporting Andrew amid the authorized mess, saying:
“Look, he’s a single man and what he did or didn’t do with numerous ladies was sleazy, humiliating for him and embarrassing for the royals. However there he’s, kicked out of his dwelling, fully remoted and in contrast to Ghislaine, he doesn’t also have a supportive household; even his daughters are at sixes and sevens about what to do.”
Does Ian really need us to really feel sorry for the man? Yeah, good luck with that.
Ian is just not solely defending Andrew, although. He got here to the protection of Ghislaine within the article, too. As you understand, she is at present serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of intercourse trafficking. She has maintained her innocence and needs an enchantment. Her brother additionally absolutely believes she is harmless, insisting the 64-year-old is “a scapegoat” for Epstein’s crimes:
“My sister is the autumn man. Any person needed to pay the value for what Epstein did, and so the federal government and the media selected her. I genuinely imagine that if Epstein had been alive, he could be incarcerated and he or she could be free.”
Epstein died by suicide in federal custody in 2019 whereas awaiting trial on intercourse trafficking fees — although many are skeptical whether or not that’s what actually occurred to him. A 12 months later, Ghislaine was arrested. Ian mentioned he came upon concerning the arrest whereas watching the information:
“They despatched in a helicopter and 20 armed brokers, as if she had been a menace to society. It was unbelievable, completely surprising. That was the second my sister grew to become a scapegoat for the dreadful crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.”
He insisted her trial “wasn’t truthful, and her conviction isn’t secure,” including:
“Ghislaine has achieved nothing flawed, and the size of her conviction is outrageous. You’ve a scenario the place anyone like P Diddy stands in entrance of the identical federal court docket on the identical cost and receives four-and-a-half years for excessive bodily battery, and my sister receives 20 years.”
In accordance with Ian, he met Epstein as soon as and will inform how the disgraced financier “reeled” Ghislaine in:
“I met Epstein as soon as and my recollection of him was that he was clearly a really clever man with a sort of darkish charisma, however I wouldn’t describe him as clubbable. He had some huge cash and was genuinely keen on science, expertise and academia, which was a really acquainted world to Ghislaine. I can see he might have reeled her in comparatively shortly, after which if you end up in that sort of world, it’s not really easy to stroll away.”
Whereas with Epstein, Ghislaine dedicated horrible crimes — together with allegedly intercourse trafficking Virginia, who died by suicide final 12 months. Nevertheless, Ian claimed Virginia lied:
“I do know who the monster is right here and it’s not my sister, it’s Virginia Giuffre and her falsehoods which have had devastating ramifications for Ghislaine. I didn’t shed a tear when she died.”
That may be a horrible factor to say concerning the sufferer of this example. WTF. Regardless of the trafficking conviction, Ian feels Ghislaine is “on the appropriate aspect of historical past.” Is that this man severe? He defined:
“There’s an argument right here that feminists ought to actually assist Ghislaine as a result of she is a girl who has been handled abysmally by the system. However I imagine my sister is on the appropriate aspect of historical past. She’s now within the US equal of an open jail and I do know she helps different prisoners with their authorized circumstances. I genuinely imagine that if she is launched in response to her petition – and there’s nonetheless an opportunity that President Trump may reply to her plea for clemency – she would do one thing worthwhile.”
Ghislaine’s household is working to overturn her conviction, the method of which, Ian advised, has been irritating:
“Inside the newest launch of the Epstein recordsdata are some exceptionally essential paperwork from Ghislaine’s perspective, which solely assist her competition that she didn’t obtain a good trial. However she has no entry to a pc in jail, so she will’t learn them. Is it any surprise I’m offended?”
Nevertheless, he refuses to surrender. He continued:
“Blood is at all times thicker than water. The very fact is she’s my child sister and there’s no compassion for her, she must have somebody on her aspect. That’s the place household is available in.”
Ian known as himself Ghislaine’s “de facto spokesman,” and shared that the remainder of the household is “all supporting her in numerous methods:
“Loyalty could be very very sturdy in our household.”
