Ghislaine Maxwell

Her counsel says now that Maxwell is in solitary confinement, she can't properly prepare for sentencing.

Their statements were put in the public case file late Friday by Manhattan prosecutors who have asked U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan to sentence Maxwell to 30 to 55 years in prison for "monstrous" crimes resulting in a December sex trafficking conviction for a socialite who has been jailed since her July 2020 arrest. Four women testified at Maxwell's monthlong trial, where they described sexual attacks on teenage girls from 1994 to 2004 by Epstein and Maxwell at Epstein's mansions and estates in Manhattan, New Mexico, Florida and the Virgin Islands. Seven women who say Maxwell helped Jeffrey Epstein steal the innocence of their youth and poison the promise of their future are asking a judge to consider their pain as she decides what prison sentence she will dispense Tuesday to the incarcerated British woman.

Maxwell, who was convicted in New York federal court for helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls, was placed on suicide watch without a psychological evaluation "and without justification," Sternheim said. She has been denied access to legal documents and time to meet with lawyers and this has "prevented her from preparing for sentencing," which is set for Tuesday, he added. "Ms. Maxwell was abruptly removed from general population and returned to solitary confinement" on Friday, attorney Bobbi Sternheim wrote in a letter Saturday to Judge Alison Nathan.

Throughout the trial, the court heard how she imposed a “culture of silence… The jury was told Maxwell asked Kate if she knew of anyone who could come to her house and give Epstein oral sex because it was “a lot for her to do”. The only accuser to testify under her full name, Annie Farmer, told jurors she was left “frozen” when the socialite asked her to undress for a massage and rubbed her breasts. Kate said the defendant then told her to take Epstein his tea in the outfit, and when asked by the accuser why the outfit was on her bed, Maxwell said she “thought it would be fun”. Maxwell’s trial also heard how she told another accuser, who testified under the pseudonym “Carolyn”, that she had a “great body for Epstein and his friends”. The socialite was convicted in December last year of sex trafficking minors, conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.

Defense lawyers have argued that Ghislaine Maxwell became the primary target in the sex-abuse case only after Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.

“She manipulated her victims, and she groomed them for sexual abuse.” “The government now had a huge hole to fill: Epstein’s empty chair.” One said Ms. Maxwell was sometimes present in the encounters, and the other said Ms. Maxwell directly molested her by touching her breasts. Two of the women said Mr. Epstein engaged in sex acts with them starting when they were 14 years old. The lawyers claimed the government turned its attention to Ms. Maxwell only after the public uproar following Mr. Epstein’s death while in the Justice Department and the Bureau of Prisons’ custody. Several of her accusers, including some who testified at her trial, have asked to address the judge, and Ms. Maxwell also will be given the opportunity to speak. Her lawyers have said she is planning to appeal, and it is possible that Ms. Maxwell, who did not testify at her trial, will choose to remain silent in court on Tuesday as well. The disgraced financier hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell one month after his July 2019 arrest as he awaited his own trial on sex trafficking charges. There is no minimum sentence for Ms. Maxwell, who has been jailed ever since she was denied bail after her arrest on July 2, 2020. “Maxwell was a sophisticated predator who knew exactly what she was doing,” Alison Moe, a federal prosecutor, told the jury in her summation. They said the authorities urgently wanted to “appease the renewed distress of Epstein’s accusers and to repair the tarnished reputations of the D.O.J. and B.O.P.” “There would be no trial for Epstein and no public vindication and justice for his accusers,” the lawyers wrote.
