Celebrity Attorney for Eight Jeffrey Epstein Victims Sheds Light on Clients' Perspective on Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (Feat. Lisa Bloom)

Throughout Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking trial, her attorneys have sought to discredit her alleged victims along themes of "memory, manipulation and money." The lawyers will likely cast those themes into sharper relief as the defense case begins on Thursday. Attorney Lisa Bloom, who has represented eight women awarded settlements from a fund designed to compensate Jeffrey Epstein victims, unpacks that defense strategy through the eyes of her clients in the latest episode of Law&Crime's podcast "Objections: with Adam Klasfeld." "There's no perfect victim," Bloom said in a Zoom interview. "There's no perfect plaintiff, and I do civil cases. And you know, you take your victim as you find them. It's very common that there would be drug abuse, or you know, selling sex for money or inconsistent memories." "I've never been prouder of a group of clients. They went through so much agony, and so many mental health disorders as a result of being sexually abused by this man," she added later in the show, referring to Epstein. Bloom's clients are not the same women who took the stand against Maxwell, but they share some similar stories. This episode was first published the day before the opening of Maxwell's defense case.
