Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer has suggested that the sex-trafficking financier’s only convicted accomplice should be granted immunity from further prosecution in exchange for coming clean in front of Congress.

Ghislaine Maxwell, 63, is the only associate held criminally or civilly liable in connection with the allegations against Epstein. In 2016, she sat for a deposition in a civil lawsuit, in which she denied recollection of nearly two dozen flights on Epstein’s private jet with an underage Virginia Giuffre, who would go on to become the trafficking duo’s most outspoken accuser. Epstein’s flight logs showed Giuffre and Maxwell on the plane at the same time 23 times before she turned 18, Fox News Digital reported previously.

Giuffre died of suicide earlier this year.

“[Maxwell] knows everything,” Alan Dershowitz, a former attorney for Epstein, told Fox News’ Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.” “She is the Rosetta Stone.”

“As long as there’s nothing redacted about the accuser’s lack of credibility, then the public has the right to make its own decision,” he said. “Just because somebody’s name is mentioned doesn’t really mean very much.”

Under federal law, use of immunity is a legal protection that prevents a witness’ testimony or any evidence drawn from it from being used to prosecute them criminally, so long as they tell the truth.

In 2021, more than two years after Epstein’s death in custody while awaiting his own trial, Maxwell was convicted of helping him traffic teen girls. She received a 20-year sentence and has appealed her case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“She arranged every single trip with everybody,” Dershowitz said. “She knows everything.”
