VIRGINIA GIUFFRE WAS RECRUITED BY GHISLAINE MAXWELL AT MAR-A-LAGO AND HER "INTERVIEW" WAS A TRAP AND SO WAS THE OFFER OF A FULL TIME JOB

  Virginia's father worked for Mar-a-Lago and got her an interview and introduced her to Donald Trump himself. Trump asked her if she babysat and got her some work with nearby residents who had children. Her day job at the luxe resort was at the spa where professional massage therapists worked. Though she was not in the massage therapy rooms to witness, this lead to her interest in becoming a massage therapist herself. As she wrote on page 62, "For the first time in my life, I allowed a flicker of hope to build inside me."

 "Then, one steaming hot day some weeks before my seventeenth birthday, I was walking toward the Mar-a-Lago spa, on my way to work, when a car slowed behind me. I wish I could say that I sensed that something evil was tracking me, but as I headed into the building I had no inkling of the danger I was in." ...

In the car following Virginia was Ghislaine Maxwell, who worked with Jeffrey Epstein, and her driver.

" ...this was an apex predator - as greedy and demanding on the inside as she appeared to be beautiful, posed, and self assured on the outside. Again, I wish I could say that I saw through Maxwell's polished facade - that, like a horse, I intuited the immense threat she posed to me.  Instead my first impression of Maxwell was the same one I formed when I greeted any well-heeled Mar-a-Lago guest. I'd be lucky, I thought, if I could grow up to be anything like her. "

Virginia was reading a library book on massage while at a reception desk when Ghislaine showed up.

Excerpt page 67 : "Suddenly I look up from my book to see a striking woman with short dark hair striding toward me.

"Hello," the woman says warmly. She looks to be in her late thirties, and her British accept reminds me of Mary Poppins. I couldn't tell you which designers she's wearing, but I bet her purse cost more than my dad's truck. The woman extends her manicured hand for me to shake ..."

***
Maxwell convinced Virginia that she should come meet a wealthy man - a math genius -a  man who she says likes to "help people" and who lives a couple miles away - that very night. Virginia said she had to get her father's permission first and in the end, her father drove her over for the interview, with Ghislaine assuring her father that they would get Jenna, as Virginia was then called, home safe. (!) The interview, which turned out to be a demonstration by Ghislaine on how to massage Jeffrey, included him questioning her about her sexual experience and ended with unexpected sexual encounter in which both Ghislaine and Jeffrey Epstein were sexual with Virginia. She complied.

Excerpt page 73 : "A familiar emptiness flooded me. Just minutes before, I had arrived at Epstein's mansion hoping that I was turning a corner. Now I knew I was right back where I'd worked so hard not to be. How many times had I put my faith in someone, only to be hurt and humiliated. But this time the disappointment was excruciating. I blamed myself. "Is sex all anyone will ever want from me?" a voice inside me shrieked, as another harsher voice chided: "Yes, you idiot. You knew that already." I tasted the tang of adrenaline in my mouth, and I could feel my brain begin to shut down. My body couldn't escape from this room, but my mind couldn't bear to stay, so it put me on a kind of autopilot" submissive and determined to survive.

Excerpt page 82 ; ..."How about you quit your job at Mar-a-Lago," he said, :and work for me full time?" Unsure what to say, I admitted I was worn out from pulling double shifts each day - the first at the spa - the second at El Brillo Way. Epstein nodded. He wanted to make things easier on me, he said.  But he had a few conditions. As his employee, I would be at his beck and call, day and night. No exceptions. When he said, "Jump" my response would have to be, "How high?" 

***
Virginia would quit her spa job and high school to work for Epstein. He gave her money, cash, after she had given service. He also let her know that he had a photo of her younger brother and where he went to school. The threat was that if she told anyone what went on - if she went to the authorities or betrayed Jeffrey, her younger brother would be hurt.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE CYCLE OF DOMESTIC ABUSE IS?

HOPE AND SAFETY ORG : LEARN ABOUT THE CYCLE OF ABUSE and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE  There are many sites on the internet that have explanations but this one seems to have gone a bit further. Please explore this site.


EXCERPT:  By 1983, women working in the Anti-violence Movement realized the Tension Building /Explosion model was flawed.  Abusers do not harm their intimate partners because of tension and stress.  As Humans, each of us feels stress and tension in our lives and yet, we do not make the choice to abuse someone else.  If it were a matter of tension the abusive person would be unable to control his behavior and would batter whoever was causing the stress (ie. the boss who yells at him or police officers who pull him over, etc.) Also abusers would not be able to control where their punches landed.  Many abusers "Target Punch" their partners - specifically targeting areas where the bruises and marks are less likely to be seen - the beck, back upper torso, and lets.

*** It is not up to the woman to make the relationship work.  Blaming the victim - that she isn't quiet enough or doesn't keep the house clean enough - for instance - can be an excuse for an abuser to let loose on her.
