    The Spin

    Narrative A

    Giuffre's courage in coming forward sparked a movement that exposed a powerful network of abuse, leading to Maxwell's conviction and forcing Prince Andrew to step back from royal duties. This shows how one survivor's voice can create systemic change.

    Narrative B

    Though Giuffre indeed played a crucial role in securing Maxwell’s conviction, there has hardly been systemic change. Her death is a reminder of the enduring damage of Esptein's network of exploitation and power, and the full truth she carried may now never come to light.
