According to particulars from a court filing filed by prosecutors on Monday, that dynamic will continue now that Epstein’s alleged madame Ghislane Maxwell is in custody.
On Monday, prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan asked asked Judge Alison J. Nathan to deny Maxwell bail, asserting that she poses a major flight risk. But the details of her arrest provided on Monday suggest she may not yet be a master of life on the run: On July 2, when FBI agents raided the house Maxwell was staying in, they found a cellphone wrapped in tin foil, which prosecutors called “a seemingly misguided effort to evade detection.
After agents broke through the gate to the compound in Bradford, New Hampshire, they announced themselves at the door; upon seeing the law enforcement officers, she fled to another room in the house.
Maxwell is facing six counts for her alleged involvement in Epstein’s operation: conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sexual acts, conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and two counts of perjury.

No one was fooled by her saying she wasn't a flight risk and could be released on bail.
