A child sex abuse survivor from Palm Beach County who testified at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021 said she had met Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s when she was 14 and was once a contestant in Trump's Miss Teen USA beauty pageant.

She was trafficked through Trump's pageant.

A reminder that Jean Luc Brunel is the forgotten co-conspirator in all this

Someone that also died under unusual circumstances, ruled a suicide, while awaiting trial in France.

Where charges had been brought that amongst other key points, he used modeling agencies along with Epstein to recruit and traffic woman for the operation.

Virginia Giuffre(who was also the person in the famous Prince Andrew picture with Epstein) was the star witness.

Giuffre, who was first approached by Maxwell/Epstein at the age of 14, at a private club the two spent a lot of time at and used to recruit many young girls. That place was Mar a Lago. Where Giuffre's father was hired on as a maintenance worker and Virginia was hired to work at the spa as an attendant.

Should be noted that Giuffre also died by suicide.

Giuffre worked the spa at Mar-a-Lago and was recruited from that spa. Trump knew he was "stealing" his workers and he knew how much he liked young women for years.
