Lawyers for disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell say she should face no more than four to five years in prison for sex trafficking.
The lawyers said leniency was also deserved because she had a ‘difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic, and demanding father’ that made her ‘vulnerable to Epstein’.
They added that she has had two committed, long-term relationships with men who had young children in the 15 years since her relationship with Epstein ended. They said four other women were named as co-conspirators or accomplices during a prosecution in Florida over a decade ago, but charges were not pursued against any of them.
