Ghislaine Maxwell will learn her fate Tuesday when a US judge sentences the former socialite for helping late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls.
NEW YORK -
They called for Nathan to hand down a sentence less than the US probation office's recommended 20 years. During her high-profile trial late 2021, the prosecutors successfully proved that Maxwell was "the key" to Epstein's scheme of enticing young girls to give him massages, during which he would sexually abuse them.
"It made her vulnerable to Epstein, whom she met right after her father's death," they wrote in submissions filed earlier this month. "She made the choice to conspire with Epstein for years, working as partners in crime and causing devastating harm to vulnerable victims," wrote Damian Williams, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
