With Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein constantly in the news, Laura revisits this disturbing case and shares all the latest developments including details of Epstein’s non prosecution agreement, the firing of the lead prosecutor, the 50th Birthday book and the unorthodox meeting between Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche from the Department of Justice.

On August 1 Maxwell was transferred to a low security prison in Texas. What does all of this mean? And what about the men Maxwell supplied girls and women to?

In the case of the USA v. Sean Combs, the jury returned a shocking verdict on Wednesday 2nd July after just over two days of deliberating. Eight men and four women found Combs not guilty on the more serious charges he faced and guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Laura is joined by criminal defense attorney and ABC Legal Contributor, Brian Buckmire, who has been in court every day of the trial. Laura and Brian unravel what went wrong for the prosecution, what went right for the defense, what needs to change to hold powerful men accountable for abusing women, and they share their thoughts on the future sentencing of now twice convicted felon, Combs.

This conversation and series takes you inside the case against Diddy, the justice system which was created by men to protect men and what needs to happen to ensure justice works for women. Listen and take action. Your voice matters.
