Lucia Osborne-Crowley has endured threats and sexual harassment to report on Jeffrey Epstein's chief enabler, Ghislaine Maxwell. The journalist, who has followed the Epstein case for six years, says Maxwell's conviction was only the start of the quest for justice.
In September 2022, Osborne-Crowley met Carolyn Andriano, a survivor abused by Epstein and Maxwell from age 14. During their meeting, a private investigator approached Osborne-Crowley, offering drugs, cash, and a meeting with Epstein's pilot, before putting his hands under her skirt. She had to escape through a staff exit.
In November 2025, 28 Epstein survivors released a statement saying many had received death threats and requested police protection. Osborne-Crowley believes the threats are funded by people not yet facing charges. Two women withdrew from her book after receiving threats.
Osborne-Crowley criticises media coverage for focusing on Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, rather than the survivors. She argues the story is about grooming and the girls who lived through it, not the yachts and wealth. Her book, The Lasting Harm, details the experiences of survivors like Jane, Annie Farmer, Kate, Liz Stein, and Jess Michaels.
Andriano died in May 2023, eight months after meeting Osborne-Crowley. The journalist continues to report on the Epstein case, highlighting the ongoing threats and the survivors' fight for justice.
