Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces sentencing for sex trafficking girls with Jeffrey Epstein, is on suicide watch, her lawyer said
"I met with Ms. Maxwell today..." Sternheim said in the letter."She is not suicidal."It is unclear if Maxwell was placed on suicide watch because of her link with Epstein.
"If Ms. Maxwell remains on suicide watch, is prohibited from reviewing legal materials prior to sentencing, becomes sleep-deprived, and is denied sufficient time to meet with and confer with counsel, we will be formally moving on Monday for an adjournment," Sternheim said. Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges, was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges in July 2019 but died by suicide in a Manhattan federal detention facility a month later. The facility has since been closed down, possibly temporarily, to address"issues."
