The former masseuse who accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape has arrived at the New York City courthouse for the fourth day of Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial.
Teresa Helm is not part Maxwell’s trial but has called her a ‘master manipulator’ over claims she lured her to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse so he could assault her.
Helm is now 41 years old, and she lives in Ohio. On Thursday morning Helm arrived at courthouse in a navy blue blouse. Her attorney, Sigfrid McCarthy was also there.
This is only one example of many women who claimed to be sexually abused and have arrived in New York to seek justice for Maxwell.
On Wednesday, Jennifer Kalin – who claimed Epstein forced her into a sham marriage – sat in the overflow room of the federal court as Maxwell’s first accuser was cross examined.

Edwards claimed that Kalin came to show solidarity for the victims, and that he wanted to be there at the trial.
Maxwell, aged 59, is currently being held on sex trafficking and sexual assault charges. Maxwell pleaded guilty to not all charges
Epstein’s world is full of horrifying stories, including Kalin’s.
It is believed that she was forced by Epstein to marry Karyna Shuliak, Epstein’s last girlfriend. He called her from prison just before he committed suicide.
Shuliak came from Belarus, and it is believed that the marriage was planned so that Shuliak could be in the US with Epstein.

According to the New York Daily News, Kalin and Shuliak were married in October 2013. Kalin then divorced Shuliak after being arrested in July 2019.
Helm said she was approached by the ‘polite’ socialite about a job as a massage therapist in 2002, when she was 22 and attending college in California.
Helm said that Maxwell made her feel at ease and she was eager to go to New York to interview for her ‘dream job’.
Helm said that she gave Maxwell a masseuse’s massage. Helm then informed her to go meet Epstein in his Upper East Side home, where Epstein sexually assaulted her while giving her a foot massage.
Helm asserts that Maxwell instructed her to give Jeffrey the things he wanted before they met. Jeffrey is always happy with what Maxwell gives him.
Helm stated, “If she weren’t for me I would not have reached the home of predators.”
“Now I can tell you that this is part and parcel of master manipulators’ tactic.
Helm is not part of Maxwell’s ongoing New York case, in which she faces six charges that include sextrafficking and conspiracy. She denied the allegations

Maxwell faces six criminal charges including sex traficking and conspiracy. Helm’s account isn’t part of Maxwell case federal prosecutors are not bringing. The charges are dismissed by Helm, and Maxwell’s trial will resume on Thursday for the fourth day.
Helm, however, described to BBC the role Epstein’s “partner” played in seducing unsuspecting women to meet Epstein the convicted child pedophile. He then committed suicide in prison.
Helm stated that Maxwell told her she felt like she was living in an educated, successful home.
Helm claimed that Maxwell was Maxwell’s intended client in an initial meeting.
Maxwell is said to have fallen asleep mid-sentence, leading Helm and others to conclude that “it’s going really good”.
Helm said that Epstein later informed Helm about a second part to the interview, where Epstein would be meeting her at the Upper East Side townhouse.
Helm was one five women that Helm helped to Epstein estate sued at Federal District Court in Manhattan, months after his passing.
According to the filing, the billionaire pedophile was accused of rape battery and false imprisonment. The plaintiff is asking for unspecified damages.
According to the lawsuit, Teresa had been studying massage at California Healing Arts College. However, her dreams were crushed when she was subjected to sexual assault.
According to The Sun, Teresa has agreed to be a Victim Compensation Fund participant since 2019, as well as the other four women.
The Jeffrey Epstein estate and 61 victims entered settlement talks last year and are reportedly set to receive shares of a $100million payout.

Ghislaine’s sisters Isabel and Kevin were seen outside the NYC Courthouse as they attended the third day in her sex trafficking case.
Maxwell’s sisters Isabel, Kevin, and Ian all showed up at the trial to support their sister.
Kevin stated that he was happy to have been there after Wednesday’s trial.
He stated that it was a tremendous relief to get to know her personally and be able to see her face to face, talk with her. This was my first contact with her in over 500 years.
Ian Maxwell claimed that his sister was doing ‘pretty well’ despite being held in detention conditions, something about which his family has recently filed a complaint to the UN.
He said that he did not want to comment on the case because he respects the justice system.
In court on Wednesday, Maxwell’s first accuser known as ‘Jane’ testified in the Federal District Court in Lower Manhattan that Epstein drove her to Mar-A-Lago to meet Donald Trump when she was 14 years old.
The 1994 meeting was well before Trump’s presidency.
Jane stated that Epstein flew her around in his private aircraft with several people, including Prince Andrew.
Jane claimed, however that Epstein did not direct Jane to have sex or ask her to recruit girls.
Jane was also quizzed on the at most five women that she says she forced into ‘orgies,’ and sexualized massages, while still under her age.

Jane testified to Jeffrey Epstein driving her to Mar-A-Lago, where she met Donald Trump at 14 years of age.
Maxwell’s first accuser, Jane, broke down during a question period about Maxwell’s alleged ‘orgies and’sexualized massagings’.
One of the girls, who were described collectively as ‘tall’ and ‘thin’ was named Sophie, and Jane agreed with the defense that the woman ‘knew the routine’ and that she would ‘make out with other girls during the intercourse.’
Jane sobbed loudly at times during emotional testimony. She said her first meeting Maxwell was important because that was the time that their casual and fun relationship had changed.
Laura Menninger, a defense lawyer suggested that Jane may have been influenced by her background as an actor during cross-examination.
Jane agreed to Menninger’s question about whether soap opera plots are based on ‘tangled interpersonal relations’.

Yesterday, court revealed the truth about Ghislaine Maxill’s lifestyle as Jeffrey Epstein’s second-in-command.
Jurors in the 59-year-old British socialite’s trial were shown never-before-seen photographs of paedophile Epstein’s £60 million fleet of jets, which he allegedly used to shuttle teenage girls between his lavish homes.
Prosecutors say the planes flew from his private Caribbean Island, New Mexico Ranch, New York City Townhouse, and an 8,600 sq. ft Parisian Apartment near the Arc de Triomphe.
Sarah Kellen was one of many personal assistants who arranged the trip. She also showed several photos to the jury.

Epstein used the planes to transport teenage girls between their homes. A number of personal assistants arranged the travel, including Sarah Kellen (pictured alongside Maxwell).
One showed Miss Kellen, a young girl standing in front a Cessna 421, twin-engine Cessna. Epstein was embracing her and kissing her forehead.
The first picture showed Miss Kellen, a young girl standing in front a Cessna 421, with Epstein hugging her and kissing her forehead. Recent photos showed her smiling in the Caribbean.
Larry Visoski was Epstein’s chief Pilot. He told New York Court: “[Epstein]Because there were so many things that had to be bought for the various properties being acquired, we hired a variety of personal assistants.
Miss Kellen, 42 years old, was named by him as the most important person to whom he had spoken about scheduling flights. Court heard that they had spoken so many times, that the pilot always had her number.
Maxwell once described Miss Kellen’s “lieutenant”, in Epstein’s circle, as Maxwell. Kellen was also accused of helping to get young girls.
In legal filings, she was named the chief fixer for Epstein who traveled the globe with her. She was also accused of “bringing Epstein’s girls to be abused”.
According to some reports, Miss Kellen had a “Rolodex” of women that she called for massages at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion.
Prosecutors say the planes flew from his private Caribbean Island (pictured), New Mexico Ranch, New York City House and Parisian Apartment near the Arc de Triomphe.

Epstein flew a Hawker Siddeley 65, a Gulfstream G2B as well as a Boeing 727, which he called the ‘Lolita Express.’ There were claims that Epstein used the Boeing 727 to transport underage girls across the globe.

Epstein made a 2008 agreement with US authorities to protect the unindicted co-conspirators.
Miss Kellen, one of four people who were granted future immunity, went on to start her own business from Epstein’s New York property.
Later, she reinvented her self as Sarah Kensington and began working as an interior designer. She has renovated corporate apartments all over New York City, Paris, and the Caribbean.
In 2015, her interior design website described how she was ‘fortunate’ to have been able “to travel to many places around the globe, which has in turn broadened my designing abilities.”
Miss Kellen was married to American race car driver Brian Vickers last year. She said, “I’m not a monster.”
When approached outside her £3.4 million New York home, she claimed she was a victim, saying: ‘I’ve been made out to be such a monster – but it’s not true. Jeffrey Epstein made me his victim. My weekly rape and abuse included a series of sex.
The jury were also shown pictures of Epstein’s £164m property empire, including a £21m ranch in New Mexico. Pictured: The main house on Epstein’s £21million Zorro ranch in New Mexico

Epstein was a Hawker Siddeley 125 pilot, a Gulfstream G2B pilot, and a Boeing 727 he called “Lolita Express” because he claimed he used the aircraft to fly girls underage around the globe.
The plane measures more than 130 feet in length and has an office called “the red room” because of the furniture it contains. It features a master bedroom that sleeps a queen, as well as a living area featuring a large sofa and a fully equipped kitchen.
The jury were also shown pictures of Epstein’s £164 million property empire, including Little St James, his private island in the US Virgin Islands, worth around £50 million.
Epstein also owned the neighbouring island, Great St James, which is valued at £14 million, while he had a £12 million mansion in Florida.
Other properties included an 8,000-acre, £21 million ranch in New Mexico, a £10 million Paris apartment, and a £57 million seven-storey townhouse on New York’s Upper East Side.
