Ghislaine Maxwell’s private emails reportedly hacked

Ghislaine Maxwell’s private emails have been hacked — stoking fears that she was targeted in a search for damning information on her powerful network of pals, according to a new report.

The British socialite’s email address appeared in court papers filed in her fight against the release of some 8,600 documents that could reveal more details of her involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal, the Telegraph reported.

Lawyers for Maxwell, long accused of procuring young women for the dead pedophile, said hackers “breached” her computer — because her email address was never scrubbed off the court docs filed with New York’s Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Despite the Second Circuit’s best efforts, it made serious mistakes,” her lawyers wrote in a Dec. 5 letter viewed by the Telegraph. “It redacted Ms. Maxwell’s email address (which linked to her own domain name) in one location but not another; shortly afterward hackers breached the host computer.”

Maxwell reportedly exchanged emails with Prince Andrew in 2015 about Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims she was forced to sleep with the royal on three occasions.

He has denied the allegations, claiming he’s never even met Giuffre.

Maxwell set up her own private email server through a New York-based website registered under the apparent pseudonym, Jennifer Turner, according to the Telegraph, which didn’t reveal the email address.

A judge is expected to rule in the coming weeks on whether the trove of new court documents in Maxwell’s civil suit involving Giuffre will be made public.

A spokesman for Maxwell wouldn’t tell the Telegraph whether her emails had been stolen or if the hackers have been identified.

Maxwell has not been criminally charged, though the feds are investigating her alleged role in Epstein’s sex trafficking network.

Epstein committed suicide in jail in August shortly after he was arrested on charges for allegedly sexually abusing young girls for years.
