A lawyer defending Jeffrey Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell is arguing that she should be treated as well as Harvey Weinstein and other wealthy men who were granted bail after being charged with sex crimes. “The truth is that wealthy men charged with similar or more serious offenses, many of whom have foreign ties, are routinely granted bail so that they can effectively prepare for trial,” lawyer David Oscar Markus said on Thursday in an appeal of US District Court Judge Alison Nathan's denial last month of the British socialite's latest bail request.
Markus argued that the 59-year-old Maxwell, who is incarcerated in a Brooklyn jail, is being held in conditions “fitting for Hannibal Lecter,” despite her being a “model prisoner.” While being subject to “multiple invasive searches every day” and a flashlight being shined into her cell every 15 minutes, Maxwell is unable to effectively prepare her defense for trial, the lawyer said.
The British socialite is accused of procuring and grooming girls as young as 14 for Epstein to sexually abuse. Maxwell, who was arrested last July, allegedly participated in the abuse in some cases. The federal indictment against her was expanded this week to eight counts, including sexual trafficking and conspiracy to commit sexual trafficking.

Well, like Epstein, she hasn’t killed herself.
Yet. She has good backups of ‘info’, I presume.
Yes she does, being in prison puts her at risk of committing Arkancide.
I take it she likes Fava Beans, with a nice Chianti.
“Well, like Epstein, she hasn’t killed herself.”
Not yet anyway.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. I am amazed that Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in the United States. I would have thought that at the first hint of trouble she’d be off to France, or Tahiti, or some other place.
Can’t wait until the Silver Hammer of justice comes down on Maxwell’s head.
That shocked me, too. After all Roman Polanski is still roaming Europe.
I saw what you did there.
good eye, BB : )
She can fall back on her memories of jet-setting, yachting, gala parties, jewelry, high fashion and a perverted sex life.
Bang! Bang!

That’s actually one of my favorite Beatles tunes. It’s just a shame that the subject matter is so dark.
P.C. 31 said “We caught a dirty one”...
Hey, when you have to go all Hannibal Lector, you go all Hannibal Lector.
To no avail, I hope.
