The Maxwell Pardon Would Be a Betrayal of Justice and Survivors

To: Sen. Banks, Rep. Spartz, Sen. Young

From: A verified voter in Westfield, IN

April 24

Dear Representative I am writing as your constituent in Westfield, Indiana to strongly oppose any presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell was convicted by a federal jury of sex trafficking conspiracy, enticing minors, and transporting minors for criminal sexual activity. For decades, she served as Jeffrey Epstein’s primary enabler — recruiting, grooming, and delivering victims, and providing the operational infrastructure that made his abuse possible at scale. She was not a passive associate. She was an active, indispensable participant. A pardon would: • Signal to survivors that their testimony and trauma are politically negotiable • Undermine the federal conviction of a jury of Maxwell’s peers • Erode public trust in the criminal justice system’s capacity to hold powerful individuals accountable The current administration has never provided full transparency regarding the President’s documented social ties to Jeffrey Epstein. In that context, a pardon would not merely be an act of clemency — it would be a profound conflict of interest, and the American public would be right to view it as such. It would represent the final, definitive collapse of confidence in the federal judiciary’s ability to deliver equal justice regardless of wealth, power, or political connection. I urge you to use every legislative and public avenue available to oppose any effort to reduce, commute, or pardon Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentence. This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of protecting children and upholding the integrity of federal law. Respectfully,
