NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ghislaine Maxwell, the alleged accomplice of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved to a jail in New York, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, where she faces charges of facilitating a sex-trafficking ring.

 

Maxwell, 58, was arrested on Thursday in New Hampshire and had been held over the weekend at the Merrimack County Jail, a medium-security facility 20 miles (32 km) from the luxurious home where investigators said she had been lying low.

 

The defendant is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the prison bureau said on Monday.

 

Conditions there sparked public outcry last year after an electrical fire cut power and heat to roughly 1,600 prisoners during one of the coldest weeks of 2019.

 

Prosecutors have accused Maxwell, the daughter of the late British media magnate Robert Maxwell, of luring and grooming underage girls so that Epstein could sexually abuse them.

 

In some cases, Maxwell herself participated in the abuse, according to an indictment unsealed last week.

 

Prosecutors have asked a judge to schedule a Friday court appearance in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and longtime associate of the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. This report produced by Yahaira Jacquez.

 

Maxwell is expected to make her first appearance in federal court in Manhattan on Friday on four criminal counts related to procuring and transporting minors for illegal sex acts and two counts of perjury. https://reut.rs/3dYAVPP [nL1N2E90XD]

 

Epstein had been awaiting trial on federal charges of trafficking minors between 2002 and 2005 when he was found hanged at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in August. Medical examiners concluded his death was a suicide.

 

Maxwell was a former Epstein girlfriend who became a longtime member of his inner circle.

 

In a 2003 Vanity Fair article, Epstein was quoted as saying Maxwell was his best friend.

 

The indictment said Maxwell lured girls beginning in 1994 through 1997 by asking them about their lives, schools and families and taking them shopping or to movies.

 

After Maxwell won the girls' trust, the indictment alleged, she would try to "normalize sexual abuse" by discussing sexual topics or by undressing in front of them or being present when they were undressed.

 

Epstein's alleged abuse included touching their genitals, placing sex toys on their genitals and having the girls touch Epstein while he masturbated.

 

Maxwell faces up to 35 years in prison if convicted.

 

Prosecutors have said Maxwell is a flight risk, and have asked that she be detained without bail.

 

Christian Everdell, a New York-based lawyer for Maxwell, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

Maxwell's transfer was handled by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Maxwell provided her with tickets to travel to Thailand, and instructed to meet with a specific Thai girl to bring her back to the United States for Epstein. 

 

Scary

That’s a very strange thing to say when a woman has just been arrested and is about to face trial for serious sex crimes.

According to "the media" she did all this to please Epstein. He is of course the bad guy and she is also a victim - at least that is how lots of women want to see this.

And you can be sure that she will get a very special deal if she names lots of bad guys who like teenage girls.

 

IMHO If those guys raped those women then they should obviously go to jail. If there is any evidence to support those accusations.

I’m not sure what media you are getting this from, but it hardly matters.

 

Maxwell is an adult and answerable for her own crimes, and these relate to something far more obscene than ‘liking teenage girls’.

 

I hope she does name names and produce evidence (if the FEDs don’t already have enough), throw the book at all involved regardless of who they are.

What's the over under on her suicide.  I say 2 weeks.  There is no way if they stopped Epstein that she will make it to trial.  She knows probably as much as Epstein and will not be as loyal as he was.  bill and the Dems and Randy Andy are probably very worried.

So I talked to BC and he said, "operation endgame."  

 

There have been 872,977 powerful stories buried by even more powerful people.  nothing is too big to hide.  nothing.

 

100 people could easily vanish to protect BC.  He's not alone.

If they suicide her, how can the prison system ever be trusted again?

trusted by who?  the criminals?  lol.

 

ok, i don't trust the prison system.  right now, it's up to BLM.  and i don't even think BLM cares about the prison system.   it would be funny if they tried to jailbreak everyone.  that would be some crazy chaos.

How horrible! He seems to be the worst sexual abuser in history. 

 

To be serious: What is actually proven what Epstein is accused of? It seems he hired lots of underage girls to massage him? Is that illegal? How much did they receive for their services? Was any of those girls forced to do that? 

Interestingly Epstein never used great violence and none of the girls were forced to do anything. They were offered money. And in return for money they had sex.

 

However, some of the women were not of age of consent, so even if they consented the law creates a fiction that they can not consent. Hence purely in law Epstein can be said of having raped some girls.

 

Even if they took 200 USD for their services. Even if they then persuaded 70 other girls to come to Epstein and have sex.

 

One of those girls Virginia Roberts is now worth several millions. She will sue the estate of Epstein and become richer still. She will never have to work again.
