Transcripts of interviews conducted with British socialite and alleged sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in which she described her relationship with accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and provided intimate details about her sex life were made public on Thursday the culmination of a monthslong court battle over their release.

The transcripts , which ran to more than 400 pages, come from depositions in 2016 for a now-settled defamation lawsuit filed against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused Maxwell of acting as Epsteins madame and helping him traffick her when she was a teenager to his famous friends, including allegedly Britains Prince Andrew and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.

Giuffre also accused Maxwell of sexually abusing underage girls . In the transcripts, Maxwell and her attorney denied any inappropriate underage activity.

So you dont know in your own mind that Jeffrey Epstein had a sexual preference for underage minors? prosecutor Sigrid McCawley asked, according to the transcript.

I cannot tell you what Jeffreys story is, Maxwell said.

In the first of about a dozen unsealed documents, Giuffres lawyers accuse Maxwell of refusing to answer questions about her own sexual relationship with Epstein, as well as alleged instructions she gave to his victims.

[Maxwells] role in those massages and knowledge of the purposes of those massages is a critical piece of evidence showing her state of mind when she attacked Ms. Giuffres assertions as entirely untrue, the document states . Ms. Giuffre intends to prove at trial that Defendant knew full well the sexual purpose for which she was recruiting females including underage females like Ms. Giuffre.

Throughout much of the transcript , Maxwell and her attorney are seen dodging questions.

When asked when she first began recruiting girls for Epstein to sexually abuse, Maxwells attorney objected to the question.

The subject matter of this question is confidential and I am designating it as confidential, he said, according to the transcript.

When asked whether she ever observed a girl under the age of 18 at Epsteins home who was not one of her friends children, Maxwell said: I have no idea what you are talking about.
