“Today’s sentence holds Ghislaine Maxwell responsible for perpetrating heinous crimes against girls. This sentence sends a strong message that no one is above the law and it is never too late for justice,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.

Testimony during the trial of the Last year revealed that Maxwell instructed young victims on how to please Epstein starting in the mid-1990s 550, forcing them to repeated rapes and sexual assaults in his mansions in Palm Beach (Florida), Manhattan and the remote “Zorro” ranch in New Mexico. Epstein’s sickening routine of abuse usually began under the guise of a massage.

Maxwell sometimes participated in the abuse and took sexually explicit photos of Epstein’s victims for her satisfaction, the police said. victims. Witnesses recalled Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew and other powerful men flying on Epstein’s private planes.

A photo presented at the trial showed Epstein and Maxwell resting in the Scottish castle of the Queen of England. The so-called “Madame” lost repeated bail requests while awaiting trial, despite posting tens of millions of dollars in collateral.

She was found guilty last December of five of the six charges against her. The Federal Court jury members deliberated for 40 hours in six days before rendering the verdict and only acquitted her of enticing a victim under the age of 17 to travel for sex.

Now Judge Alison Nathan sentenced her. She faced a total of up to six and a half decades in prison. At the moment she is still being held in the Metropolitan Detention Complex in Brooklyn.

The sentence marks a major turn in the life of a multimillionaire woman, educated in Oxford and close to international personalities who have been splashed by the case, such as former presidents Trump and Clinton, the filmmaker Woody Allen, the model Naomi Campbell and especially the Prince Andrew of England.

The English nobleman – whom some call Queen Elizabeth’s “favorite son” – is requested by the US justice system in relation to Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the best-known whistleblowers of the international pedophilia network of the suicidal millionaire Epstein. The Duke of York has denied the accusations from a distance without coming to the US, but he was removed from Buckingham Palace duties in the wake of this scandal.

Photographs of Maxwell with various personalities have circulated for years in the press, including his presence in the front row at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010.

The scandal erupted with the arrest of Epstein in New York in July 2019 and led to the resignation of the then Secretary of Labor, Alex Acosta, because it was he who, being a prosecutor in Miami, negotiated a plea agreement with the millionaire philanthropist when he was first indicted in 2008.

Epstein committed suicide five weeks after being detained, in August 2019. In parallel, the police were looking for his ex-girlfriend Maxwell, who was a fugitive until July 2019. He has since pleaded “not guilty” and has been under strict suicide watch in his New York cell, where he has reported being a victim of alleged abuse.
