Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 779 Filed 08/22/22 Page 72 of 101 72 M6SQmaxS1 1 Despite my earnest effort I have not realized life's 2 true potential professionally, nor entered any healthy personal 3 relationships. I have never married, and I do not have 4 children, something always wished for when I was a little 5 girl. shy away from meeting new people and have difficulty 6 making new friends becaus ar they too could be associated 7 with Epstein and Maxwell and their enablers and 8 co-conspirators. 9 To this day I attend meetings to treat alcoholism, but 10 I have had numerous relapses, and I cannot always control that. 1] know that only by the grace of God do continue to live. I 12 have attemoted suicide twice since the abuse -- both near 13 fatal. 14 Last year, traveled to New York to attend Maxwell's 15 trial. It was therapeutic to hear the testimony of the four 16 brave victim-witnesses, whos xperience paralleled my own, to 17 know that I was not alone, and that our story was finally being 18 told for the world to hear. 19 I am grateful the jury believed the victims and 20 returned a guilty verdict, but a question still tears at my 21 soul. After all f this, how can this five-star general of 22 this enormous sex-trafficking conspiracy involving hundreds, if 23 not thousands, of vulnerable girls and young women over three 24 decades continue to maintain her innocence? Reflecting on it, 25 know the answer to my questions. SOUTHERN D STR CT R EPORTERS, (212) 80 5-0300 DOJ-OGR-00014819
