Memories

 Trump was married to Marla Maples from 1993 to 1999. De Georgiou was born in 1977, so this would be about 1997. Twenty two years later:

Anouska De Georgiou was living a charmed life in the mid-1990s. A teenage model from an affluent family in London, she had a future as bright as her mega-watt smile.

But then De Georgiou got sucked into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit through well-connected friends. They met for the first time in London. In time she was being flown to Epstein's properties around the world, including his private island in the Caribbean, on flights he paid for.

The grooming, De Georgiou said, was subtle but persistent ⁠— and pervasive.

"By the time I was being raped, it was too late," De Georgiou, recounting the details of her experience for the first time, told NBC News as part of a months-long "Dateline" investigation.

The abuse, De Georgiou said, spanned several years and locales. In addition to the estate on his private island, De Georgiou said Epstein preyed on her at his homes in New York and Paris.

"And in every location there was this microcosm of acceptance, of yes people, who acted like this was normal," De Georgiou said.

"If you're a young person walking into a mansion or someone's island and all the people who are present are acting as though this is OK and you're the only one who thinks it's weird, it's hard to say something," De Georgiou told Savannah Guthrie.

Epstein’s web of enablers are now at the center off a high-profile federal sex trafficking investigation.

Epstein, 66, was accused of sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of girls in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.

The focus of the probe shifted to his recruiters and other associates after he hanged himself in a federal jail cell in Manhattan last month.

Among those believed to be in the investigators' crosshairs is Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime companion.

Maxwell’s association with Epstein has been chronicled for years. But new interviews with nearly two dozen Epstein accusers and multiple Maxwell acquaintances shed fresh light on the extent to which she and others allegedly abetted his sexual abuse of young women and girls.

Taken together, the accounts paint a portrait of a woman whose life appeared to revolve around finding a way to satisfy Epstein’s every whim, no matter how deviant.

“Jeffrey has the sickness but they worked together as a unit,” Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was abused by Epstein and Maxwell for several years starting in the late 1990s, told "Dateline." “I was brought in by Ghislaine, and at that time, she was the main procurer for Jeffrey.”

Six years later, still surprisingly relevant. Especially as a reminder of who Ghislaine Maxwell is. And who Donald Trump is.

It ain’t pretty, is it?
