As renewed headlines swirl around the Epstein-Maxwell scandal—from legal maneuvering to institutional failures—the public remains largely in the dark about the deep psychological toll on the women at the center of it all: the victims. While the media dissects the powerful figures who enabled Epstein, the survivors are often left out of the narrative.
Dr. John Brady, a nationally recognized forensic psychologist, is available for interviews to bring vital insight to this missing dimension. Dr. Brady specializes in the psychological profiling of both perpetrators and victims of complex, often institutionalized abuse. With over two decades of clinical and courtroom experience, he has helped illuminate the long-term mental and emotional impacts of coercion, grooming, and trauma recovery.
Now in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, Epstein and Maxwell’s victims are no longer the silent, anonymous teenagers they once were. Many are mothers, professionals, or advocates—yet they carry scars that never healed. Dr. Brady offers a rare lens into what’s going through their minds right now as their abusers remain in the spotlight while their own stories are sidelined.
Key interview topics include:
- What forensic victim profiles tell us about Epstein-Maxwell survivors.
- How trauma from grooming at a young age manifests decades later.
- The psychological effect of long-delayed justice and media exposure.
- How survivors cope with being simultaneously ignored and exploited.
- Why does public perception fail to grasp the depth of psychological damage.
In addition, Dr. Brady can offer commentary on Ghislaine Maxwell’s psychological profile—a rare case of a female trafficker and manipulator who weaponized trust, privilege, and proximity to power. Her personality traits, motivations, and psychological defenses can offer important insight into how a woman becomes central to a machine of exploitation.
As the media cycle focuses on documents, elites, and legal maneuvers, Dr. Brady offers a grounding voice: the reminder that real human beings are still living with the consequences, decades later.

ABOUT DR. JOHN BRADY…
Dr. John Brady is a forensic psychologist who for 25 years has spent hours analyzing why individuals commit heinous crimes, providing testimony in numerous criminal cases, and writing six books taken directly from his professional clinical work and court records.
Having worked with some of the nation’s top defense attorneys, prosecutors, private investigators, judges and even perpetrators themselves, Dr. Brady holds that powerbrokers in some of the most prosperous communities often work to hide the evil lurking within some of the biggest work hubs, endangering the public by withholding information.
Dr. Brady, who has written about why wealthy women shoplift to why individuals commit horrific mass-murders, can explain the step-by-step journey taken in the perpetrators’ unconscious journey into darkness.
“It is possible to learn to identify the hidden reasons for crime,” said Dr. Brady, “to understand what leads an individual to the breaking point.”
Whether such behaviors can be attributed to depression, to over-medication with anti-psychotic drugs, or to disorders such as dissociative identity disorder, Dr. Brady can discuss why the criminal is often caught in their own trap.
