Federal prosecutors urged a judge to reject a home confinement request by Ghislaine Maxwell, confidant of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, saying she's skilled at hiding and had wrapped a cell phone in foil to try to evade detection by authorities
"There will be no trial for the victims if the defendant is afforded the opportunity to flee the jurisdiction, and there is every reason to think that is exactly what she will do if she is released," prosecutors wrote in a court filing Monday.
"As the agents conducted a security sweep of the house, they also noticed a cell phone wrapped in tin foil on top of a desk, a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection, not by the press or public, which of course would have no ability to trace her phone or intercept her communications, but by law enforcement," prosecutors wrote.
