ITV has commissioned a new documentary on Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently awaiting trial in a US. 

The film will feature interviews with key figures at the centre of the serious allegations of abuse surrounding her and her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including alleged victims and Ghislaine’s siblings, some speaking publicly for the first time on this matter. 

Maxwell strenuously denies her alleged involvement in the appalling crimes of which Epstein was accused, which have been blamed for ruining the lives of innocent girls.   

The scandal has raised vital questions about the rich and powerful at the most rarefied levels of society and this film aims to shed new light on what happened and the people at the centre, by speaking to those closest to events. 

The documentary will cover the trial by jury and will examine how a woman who mixed in elite circles in Britain and the US ended up accused of being embroiled in a world of sex trafficking and grooming.  

Presented by Ranvir Singh and drawing on exclusive testimonies and archive footage, the film will offer new and revealing insight into Maxwell’s alleged crimes.

Provisionally titled Ghislaine, the documentary also features interviews with staff, friends, lawyers and investigators – some of whom have never spoken publicly before. 

British socialite Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, goes on trial this month on sex trafficking charges alleging she recruited teenage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse from 1994 to 2004.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide. 

The film will be shown after the conclusion of the trial.
