Ghislaine Maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after telling the court meeting Jeffrey Epstein was the 'biggest regret of my life' and apologizing to her victims 'for the pain that you have experienced.'
Judge Alison Nathan handed down the 240-month sentence followed by five years supervised release after calling Maxwell's crimes 'heinous and prefatory.'
The judge imposed a fine of $750,000, pointing to the $10million bequest Maxwell received from Epstein.
Judge Nathan also recommended she be sent to the Danbury, Connecticut, Federal Correctional Institution. The low-security federal prison was the inspiration for the fictional prison in the Netflix show 'Orange Is The New Black.'
'Ms. Maxwell worked with Epstein to select young victims who were vulnerable and played a pivotal role in facilitating sexual abuse,' Judge Nathan said, making it clear the case called for a 'very significant sentence' that sent an 'unmistakable message' that such crimes would be punished.
There is no parole for federal prison, so Maxwell is likely to serve the entire 20-year sentence, but could potentially be released a few years early for good behavior.
After the sentencing, Maxwell's attorney Bobbi Sternheim said outside the courthouse: 'Our client Ghislaine Maxwell has been vilified, pilloried and left little room for her to be treated fairly. Because even before she stropped forward into this courthouse, she was being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.
'Ghislaine will appeal this case and we're confident she will prevail on appeal.'

And if she doesn’t repent, she’ll spent eternity in a very hot spot in hell and there will be no escaping that.
List A: Epstein’s Investment Clients.
List B: Men (and maybe some women) who abused underage girls in the Epstein/Maxwell honeytrap.
Not everyone on List A is necessarily on List B.
Not everyone on List B is on List A.
Likely a great deal of overlap between Lists A and B.
If any legal “authorities” wanted to pursue crimes against the underage girls, they would assume all of Epstein’s clients achieved that status via blackmail, or were “rewarded” after signing up at the suggestion of friends, lawyers, and financial advisors in Epstein’s web. Add all his known associates and “friends”. No one is investigating anything. Why aren’t Fay Wray and Merrick Garland asked about this by the “media”? There’s a HUUUGE mystery.
That's a very good question.
