One Jeffrey Epstein ex testifies in defense of another
Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense called another of Jeffrey Epstein’s one-time paramours to the stand Friday: a former Miss Sweden, New York City doctor and tabloid fixture who told the jury that she trusted the financier with her young daughters and denied taking part in a group sexual encounter with a key accuser.
Eva Andersson-Dubin, 60, testified that she dated Epstein “off and on” from 1983 to the early 1990s, before he dated Maxwell. Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges stemming from her interactions with four teenage girls from 1994 to 2004.
During that span, Maxwell was romantically involved with and then later worked for Epstein, who killed himself at a federal lockup in August 2019 while awaiting his own sex trafficking trial.
