'THE BEST BOOK ON EPSTEIN' OBSERVER

'I understand – and sympathise with – the feeling you might have that you already know the Jeffrey Epstein story. But I am not here to tell you a story about Jeffrey Epstein, or even Ghislaine Maxwell. I am here to tell you the stories of ten women, many of whom have never spoken at length before, about the real impact of sexual trauma on their lives'

In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces twenty years in prison for the role she played in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of four girls. The trial was meticulously covered by journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley, one of the only reporters allowed into the courtroom every day.

The Lasting Harm is her account of that trial, a gripping true crime drama and a blistering critique of a criminal justice system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors, no matter the outcome.

Giving voice to four women and their testimonies, and supplemented by exclusive interviews, The Lasting Harm brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.

Downloaded this by lucky accident. It is superbly written withmatching narration. As a barrister i have acted in rape trials in the uk. I wish i had heard this years ago and that all my colleagues would hear this- it provides a real insight. Thank you LOC.

It is a rare combined tapestry of an engaging writer, honest and sensitive content but from a quite amazing person whose own life and growth so deeply connects to these victims. I considered myself astute and understanding but any lingering lack of knowledge about the grooming and manipulation has been filled in. I wish the author her own peace and love as she most certainly is a special lady.

Exceptional, authentic and informative
