Maxwell Targeted Paris Hilton
In another riveting chapter of the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal, London’s Daily Mail reports that U.S.-based British journalist Christopher Mason says that when Ghislaine Maxwell first set eyes on then 19-year-old Paris Hilton at a New York party, she was mesmerized. “Oh my God, who is that. She’d be perfect for Jeffrey, can you introduce us,” she asked a friend in reference to convicted pedophile Epstein, who allegedly offed himself in a New York jail cell last year.
Mason told the story for a new docuseries titled Surviving Epstein, now out on the Lifetime cable channel. While he could not accurately pinpoint the date, the encounter appeared to have occurred at a New York fashion show in September 2000, shortly after Hilton signed up with Donald Trump’s modeling agency.
Mason says at the time of the incident, Maxwell was scouring New York to find young girls to go on dates with Epstein. Maxwell today sits in a New York jail facing sex-trafficking charges. Here’s more with investigative blogger Shaun Attwood.
