Statement on Behalf of Ghislaine Maxwell

LONDON, March 10, 2011 - Ghislaine Maxwell denies the various allegations about her
that have appeared recently in the media. These allegations are all entirely
false.

It is unacceptable that letters sent by Ms Maxwell's legal
representatives to certain newspapers pointing out the truth and asking for
the allegations to be withdrawn have simply been ignored.

In the circumstances, Ms Maxwell is now proceeding to take
legal action against those newspapers.

"I understand newspapers need stories to sell copies. It is
well known that certain newspapers live by the adage, "why let the truth get
in the way of a good story." However, the allegations made against me are
abhorrent and entirely untrue and I ask that they stop," said Ghislaine
Maxwell.

"A number of newspapers have shown a complete lack of accuracy
in their reporting of this story and a failure to carry out the most
elementary investigation or any real due diligence. I am now taking action to
clear my name," she said.
