Ghislaine Maxwell’s accuser ‘was paid £40,000 to set up Tom Parker Bowles in 1999 cocaine sting’

  • Tom Parker Bowles, then 24, was arrested in 1999 in the tabloid’s Cocaine Sting.
  • Ghislaine Maxiwell claims that a woman helped to publish the newspaper.
  • Report suggests incident may be used by Maxwell’s defence to undermine the prosecution witness when the trial gets underway on November 29 in New York










According to reports, one of Ghislaine Maxwell’s accusers helped set up Tom Parker Bowles for a newspaper cocaine sting.

This woman cannot be identified for legal reasons but is expected to testify as a witness at Maxwell’s trial. It is scheduled to begin on November 29th and will be the most important trial in the history of Maxwell.

But, according to the Telegraph, it has now come to light that the woman was paid up to £40,000 to help a tabloid newspaper set up Mr Parker Bowles, son of the Duchess of Cornwall, as part of a well-publicized sting in 1999.

In an effort to weaken the credibility and credibility of prosecution witnesses, Maxwell could be mentioned in the Maxwell trial.

One of Ghislaine Maxwell's accusers had a hand in setting up Tom Parker Bowles (pictured in 2018) in a newspaper cocaine sting in the 90s when he was aged 24, it has been reported

Ghislaine Maxill’s accuser was involved in the setting up of Tom Parker Bowles in a newspaper cocaine sting. He was 24, when it happened.

The sting took place in 1999. Mr Parker Bowles was secretly recorded offering cocaine to the woman. This was done because the woman knew Mr Parker Bowles. 

He admitted that he used cocaine with “someone he met last night” while working in France. 

Parker Bowles (24 at the time) was a publicist and caught up in the sting at the Cannes Film Festival. It was covered over five pages of the News of the World. 

Contemporary reports describe Parker Bowles as being ‘contrite,’ but it is said that Prince Charles, then a patron at Phoenix House, was fairly cross’ and made fun of him for getting involved in the sting.

It is thought the sting could be used by the defence team of Ghislaine Maxwell (pictured) to undermine the prosecution witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, during the trial

According to The Telegraph, another witness was also arrested previously for drug paraphernalia use and possession.

Ghislaine is a British socialite, and the daughter of Robert Maxwell. She is being held in New York prison.

Maxwell, aged 59, was charged with sextrafficking. The prosecutors claim that she helped Jeffrey Epstein to recruit, groom, and then sexually abuse young girls.

Her plead not guilty was accepted and her trial is set to start on November 29. 

Earlier this month, Maxwell spoke to The Mail on Sunday for the first time about her ‘living hell’ behind bars – claiming that she has been assaulted and abused by prison guards, purposely deprived of sleep and given rotting food to eat.

Maxwell, who had her $28million (£21M) bail application denied for the fourth time last week, also claimed negative media coverage while she has been in custody and the deliberate withholding of evidence have made it ‘impossible’ for her to receive a fair trial.
