3:45 PM PDT, July 14, 2020Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and a wealthy British socialite, was denied bail on Tuesday and will remain behind bars until trial. Maxwell pleaded not guilty to charges she recruited girls and women for the financier to sexually abuse more than two decades ago. at her million-dollar New Hampshire estate, where prosecutors say she refused to open the door for FBI agents, who busted in to find that she had retreated to an interior room.
Prosecutors said in court that Maxwell was a flight risk because of her"undisclosed wealth" and"extensive international ties" that could put her out of the reach of extradition. Brown's 2018 story"Perversion of Justice" about Epstein's so called sweetheart deal from Alexander Acosta, then Miami's top federal prosecutor, later Labor Secretary under President Trump, helped bring the case into the national conversation. Acosta resigned less than a year after the story was published.
It also alleged that she lied during a 2016 deposition in a civil case stemming from Epstein's abuse of girls and women. In announcing the charges, Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said,"Maxwell lied because the truth as alleged was almost unspeakable."
EXCELLENT. Now make sure she doesn't die in there before trial
Thank you judge👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Poor little rich girl...where’s your privilege now?!
For my part, she should stay there for the next 30 years! How can sexual abuse be supported? Disgusting!
Excellent.
