This is so stupid. Here’s the other quote from the article you need to keep in mind:

Maxwell insisted she was unaware of any sexual contact between Epstein and minors or any other type of “non-consensual” sexual activity. But she said she now recognizes some of those things may have happened outside her presence.

“I’m not saying that Mr. Epstein did not do those things,” she said. “I don’t feel comfortable saying that today, given what I now know to be true. So I am not here to defend him. But what I can say is that I did not participate in that activity.”

Maxwell also acknowledged Epstein’s interest in women changed over time, moving toward younger women and even teenagers.

“I never understood that change to encompass children. I did see from when I met him, he was involved … however you want to characterize it, with women who were in their 20s. And then the slide to, you know, 18 or younger looking women. But I never considered that this would encompass criminal behavior,” she said.

So good news! Epstein is innocent too. He never did anything criminal! Completely credible testimony from a completely credible witness.
