NEW YORK -- Jeffrey Epstein's longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred Monday to New York to face charges that she recruited women and girls, one as young as 14, for him to sexually abuse, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed.
Prosecutors have asked a judge to schedule a Friday court appearance in Manhattan federal court for for Maxwell, 58, who was arrested last week at a $1 million estate she had purchased in New Hampshire.
Maxwell, the daughter of British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, was the former girlfriend and longtime close associate of Epstein, who killed himself in a Manhattan jail last August while he awaited trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Maxwell has been indicted on multiple charges, including that she conspired to entice girls as young as 14 to engage in illegal sex acts with Epstein from 1994 through 1997.
Several of Epstein's victims have described Maxwell as his chief enabler, recruiting and grooming young girls for abuse. She has denied wrongdoing and called claims against her "absolute rubbish."
In a letter to a judge Sunday, prosecutors said they have communicated with Maxwell's defense lawyer, Christian Everdell, who would like a Friday bail hearing where she will be arraigned.
Prosecutors have said Maxwell "poses an extreme risk of flight." Maxwell has three passports, is wealthy with lots of international connections, and has "absolutely no reason to stay in the United States and face the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence," they wrote in a memo.
She is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Her cell has been prepped with CV-19.
Was that the Epstein kill zone?
That’s what I don’t get - why was she in the USA? I’d have been in Brazil...someplace with no extradition. Maybe it was arrogance.
Be interesting to know exactly how they found her.
She will sleep with the fishes
Be interesting to know exactly how they found her.
Rumor has it that she negotiated a deal to become a cooperating suicide victim witness.
If they were going to suicide her it would have been much easier while she was supposedly on the run. Im starting to think shes been in federal custody since Epstein was arrested, cooperating with their investigation.
My wife seems to run a laser printer constantly for mostly useless junk that sits.
I don’t buy the paper or toner.
Recently I bought a replacement cartridge for my printer. It lasted 5 years.
I wonder if she’s staying in the famous Epstein Suite.
Avoiding your troubles on a boat and the Maxwell family have approximately the same track record as avoiding your troubles in a jail cell and Epstein.
I think she was arrogant, knew she is rich and thought she was above the law.
And had no respect for the resources of the USA when they set their sights on someone.
If only we could have witnessed a home invasion like Roger Stone’s.
I did the calculations before... I don’t remember them exactly now- but it was at least 60 reams of paper (assuming one page per email)
The smartass delivered hard-copies instead of electronic.
Why would she do that? The evidence is her ticket to freedom through negotiation with the FBI. The people she was really afraid of being found by would have shot her in her sleep.
Where’s the damn MUG SHOT???
FLIGHT RISK.
WTF didn’t they ARREST the HOUSEKEEPER that opened the door?? She AIDED AND ABETTED MAXWELL!!!
She will likely WALK out of jail FRIDAY!
I am hoping that is the situation- and that she has a ‘dead man switch’ releasing it if she winds up dead.
She might fall victim to SIDS (Sudden Instant Death Syndrome).
Falling out of a FLIGHT RISK...................
