Prosecutors said Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial, sexually abused children hundreds of times over more than a decade, and couldn’t have done so without her help.
Probation suggests she could be out in 20 years, but Maxwell is now 60 years old and thus faces the possibility of never seeing life"on the outside again."at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since Friday, according to court filings, though her attorney says she is not at risk of self harm. She has denied abusing anyone. Her lawyers have asked U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan to impose a sentence of no more than five years.
Epstein and Maxwell’s associations with some of the world’s most famous people were not a prominent part of the trial, but mentions of friends like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Britain's Prince Andrew showed how the pair exploited their connections to impress their prey. They described how Maxwell charmed them with conversation and gifts and promises that Epstein could use his wealth and connections to help fulfill their dreams.
