Paramount+ has finally given a release date to the highly anticipated docuseries about the life of Ghislaine Maxwell, the infamous partner of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The streaming service announced via a press release Tuesday that the four-hour docuseries, titled “Ghislaine - Partner in Crime,” will start streaming in full on Thursday.
Maxwell, the former socialite who was convicted of sex trafficking-related crimes in December 2021 for her involvement in the disgraced financier’s illicit operations, is scheduled to be sentenced in late June. She is facing up to 65 years in prison.
The documentary will not only cover her deep involvement in the recruitment, grooming and trafficking of young girls for sexual abuse, but it will also take a look at her early life as the daughter of media magnate Robert Maxwell.
The show will feature testimony describing the ring that Maxwell helped run with Epstein and how the British socialite became an accomplice to one of the worst sex offenders in history, Deadline reported.
Maxwell’s siblings Ian, Kevin and Isabel Maxwell did interviews for the documentary, and so did Ghislaine’s friends. Legal experts and the alleged victims, who at the time of the crimes were as young as 14, will open up in the docuseries to unravel the shocking pyramid scheme that the partners controlled and operated on Epstein’s properties, including his private island.
“Ghislaine - Partner in Crime” will also feature the first extensive television interview of Scotty David, also known as Juror No. 50 during Maxwell’s trial. He was responsible for the curveball post-verdict that pushed the socialite’s defense to pursue a new trial, according to Broadway World.
“‘Ghislaine - Partner in Crime’ paints a vivid picture of Maxwell’s privileged yet turbulent lifestyle, from the parties and the A-list friendships to the trial. This docuseries explores her own family’s ability to cope with adversity, and asks how this woman, who seemed to have it all, risked it all to help Jeffrey Epstein,” said Susan Zirinsky, who serves as president of See It Now Studios, the producer of the series alongside Fremantle.
“The series is packed with fresh expert analysis of both Maxwell's life and the dramatic trial, which is vividly brought to life with the unique perspective of Juror #50, Scotty David,” Fremantle managing director Fatima Salaria added.
