The prosecutors also said Ms. Maxwell had refused to answer questions from the jail’s psychology staff and would not elaborate on her concerns. Afterward, Ms. Farmer said, Ms. Maxwell gave her a massage in which she touched the top of her breasts. “It is my sincerest wish to all those in this courtroom and to all those outside this courtroom that this day brings a terrible chapter to the end, to an end. “Your honor, it is hard for me to address the court after listening to the pain and anguish expressed inn the statements made here today," she said. And to those of you who spoke here today and those of you who did not, may this day help you travel from darkness into the light.” One said Ms. Maxwell was sometimes present in the encounters, and the other said Ms. Maxwell directly molested her by touching her breasts. 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.

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.

In the later phase, from approximately 2001 until at least approximately 2004, MAXWELL and Epstein enticed and recruited, and caused to be enticed and recruited, minor girls to visit Epstein’s Palm Beach Residence to engage in sex acts with Epstein, after which Epstein, MAXWELL, or another employee of Epstein’s would give the victims hundreds of dollars in cash. MAXWELL and Epstein’s victims were groomed or abused at Epstein’s residences in New York, Florida, and New Mexico, as well as MAXWELL’s residence in London, England. The victims were as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by MAXWELL and Epstein, both of whom knew that their victims were in fact minors. MAXWELL also acclimated victims to Epstein’s conduct simply by being present for victim interactions with Epstein, which put victims at ease by providing the assurance and comfort of an adult woman who seemingly approved of Epstein’s behavior. From at least 1994, up to and including in or about 2004, GHISLAINE MAXWELL assisted, facilitated, and participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to MAXWELL and Epstein to be under the age of 18. Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that GHISLANE MAXWELL was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court by United States Circuit Judge Alison J. Nathan to 240 months in prison for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade.

Su suicidio en la cárcel le libró de un juicio, pero la fiscalía prometió investigar a sus eventuales cómplices. Después se convirtieron en colaboradores profesionales y cómplices de sus delitos sexuales durante cerca de tres décadas. En el juicio realizado en un tribunal de Manhattan el año pasado, Maxwell fue descrita como "depredadora sofisticada" que actuaba conscientemente para atraer y seducir a jóvenes para disfrute de Epstein y sus amigos, como el príncipe Andrés de Inglaterra, en sus residencias de Florida, Manhattan o las Islas Vírgenes.

Another survivor, Sarah Ransome, said Epstein and Maxwell threatened that her family would be killed if she ever tried to escape what she calls a "dungeon of sexual hell." As in other statements, Bryant also said she was grateful to see the crimes exposed, with the hope of justice finally found. Maria Farmer said her future as an artist was ruined by Maxwell and Epstein when she met them in 1996. Eight women who say Maxwell manipulated and abused them for years sent victim impact statements for the court to consider in weighing Maxwell's punishment. "This toxic combination of being sexually exposed and exploited, feeling confused and naïve, blaming myself all resulted in significant shame," Annie Farmer wrote in her statement. Prosecutors also asked Nathan to impose a $750,000 fine on Maxwell — the maximum allowed for her crimes. She is a very dangerous and devious individual." They say the pair often traveled between Epstein's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, a villa in Palm Beach, a ranch in New Mexico, a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and an apartment in Paris. But prosecutors sought a sentence between 30 and 55 years, citing the number of victims and Maxwell's refusal to take responsibility. But prosecutors dismissed those claims and cited Maxwell's "utter lack of remorse" for her actions. Nathan ruled that six of the victims were also free to speak at the hearing if they chose to. Several of those girls, now adults, testified during the trial, bravely pulling the curtain back on years of abuse they suffered after Maxwell and Epstein tugged them into their orbit.

El informe oficial de la autopsia concluyó que se suicidó. Fue sentenciado a 18 meses de prisión. Mediante un acuerdo secreto, la fiscalía federal aceptó no procesar a Epstein por delitos federales, otorgándole una sentencia más laxa, la cual le permitía salir en el día y volver en la noche.

Más adelante, se empezaron a conocer distintos testimonios de estudiantes de secundaria, donde se supo que Epstein las contrataba para dar masajes sexuales.

Ghislaine Maxwell fue condenada a 20 años de prisión por permitir el abuso en serie de mujeres menores de edad por parte de su amigo Jeffrey Epstein.
Los miembros del jurado del Tribunal Federal deliberaron durante 40 horas en seis días antes de emitir el veredicto y sólo la absolvieron de tentar a una víctima menor de 17 años a viajar por sexo. Desde entonces se declaró “no culpable” y ha estado bajo estricta vigilancia anti suicidio en su celda neoyorquina, donde ha denunciado ser víctima de supuestos abusos. En paralelo la policía buscaba a su ex novia Maxwell, quien estuvo prófuga hasta julio de 2020. La condena supone una gran giro en la vida de una mujer multimillonaria, educada en Oxford y allegada a personajes internacionales que han sido salpicados por el caso, como los ex presidentes Trump y Clinton, el cineasta Woody Allen, la modelo Naomi Campbell y especialmente el Príncipe Andrés de Inglaterra. “La sentencia de hoy responsabiliza a Ghislaine Maxwell por perpetrar crímenes atroces contra niñas. Esta sentencia envía un fuerte mensaje de que nadie está por encima de la ley y nunca es demasiado tarde para la justicia”, dijo el fiscal federal de Manhattan, Damian Williams.

La llamada “Madame” perdió repetidos pedidos de libertad bajo fianza mientras esperaba el juicio, a pesar de ofrecer decenas de millones de dólares como garantía.

Sadly, the oceans will not have the benefit of her altruism during her 20 years in jail. One of the interviewees in our documentary, The Making of a Monster, describes Maxwell’s attitude towards her victims. My favourite section of the mitigation statement makes the point that later in life, Ghislaine set up a charity to save the oceans. Why should we assume that the woman is not responsible for her own actions and the man is the person really to blame for her crimes? At the age of three, allegedly suffering from anorexia, Maxwell declared to her mother, “Mummy, I exist.” Her father was often away and when at home was an overbearing bully. Her father, the publisher Robert Maxwell, was one of the biggest fraudsters in British corporate history.

She will have to eat like everybody else.” “This comes out of the Bureau of Prisons’ Designation and Sentence Computation Center [DSCC] in Grand Prairie, Texas. She will be classified and custody-scored. She would get the s–t beaten out of her a bunch of times.” “If [Maxwell] is smart she will hire a consultant to set her up with people inside,” said Polverari. “Teresa Giudice had that. On the phone, she was heard saying, ‘Prison is hell.’ Other prisoners asked, ‘Who is she to say that?’ Then they started taking pictures of her without makeup or hair extensions.” Plus all the people who didn’t like the mentor instantly didn’t like Teresa,” Polverari said. And the camp counselor won’t put Maxwell where she is not wanted, for fear that she may get hurt.
