Epstein Affair: Victim’s Diary Reveals Forced Pregnancy & Maxwell’s Involvement

Newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice include a diary entry from a woman alleging she gave birth to a daughter in 2002 at the age of 16 or 17, and that the child was taken from her shortly after birth under the direction of Ghislaine Maxwell. The entry, discovered by The Times, as well references an ultrasound image dated to 20 weeks of gestation, with a handwritten note stating, “She is gone and she will never come back.”

The diary entry claims Maxwell oversaw the birth and that the daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell took the baby “10 minutes” after she was born. The allegations add another layer to the ongoing revelations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and his network of associates.

Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Epstein and Maxwell, previously described a similar request in a 2020 Netflix documentary, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. Giuffre stated that Epstein and Maxwell asked her to carry their child in 2002, offering to relinquish parental rights upon birth. “It was just…atrocious,” she said in the documentary. Giuffre, who became a mother of three, detailed her terror in her 2025 autobiography, Nobody’s Girl, fearing the fate of her child, particularly if it were a girl, should she agree to the arrangement. She described the proposal as a catalyst for her decision to flee Epstein and Maxwell.

Giuffre had repeatedly alleged Epstein and Maxwell engaged in widespread sexual abuse and exploitation. In 2019, she told The Guardian that Epstein boasted about bringing young girls, aged 12, from France to his Palm Beach, Florida estate as “gifts” from an associate. The New York Post reported that this associate may have been Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent and alleged procurer for Epstein, who was found dead in a Paris prison in 2022.

According to Giuffre, the French girls were sent back to France the day after arriving at Epstein’s residence. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025, having exhausted herself fighting to expose the crimes of Epstein and Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein was initially indicted on sex trafficking charges in Florida in 2008, receiving a 13-month prison sentence. He was subsequently indicted in New York in July 2019 on charges of sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking. He died by suicide in his jail cell on August 10, 2019, even as awaiting trial. The New York City medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging. The release of these new documents continues to fuel scrutiny of the case and the extent of Epstein’s alleged crimes.
