For instance, here is the WikiPedia (yes, I know WP can be an issue, but the link you provided is consistent with this quote): "[Ghislaine] Maxwell "directed" her to have sex with Minsky among others. There has been no allegation that sex between them took place nor a lawsuit against Minsky's estate."
