The July trial for Ghislaine Maxwell on charges that she aided ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of teenage girls was postponed to the fall on Monday.

U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan said a delay of a trial scheduled for July 12 of a few months was reasonable as she directed defence lawyers and prosecutors to settle on a date by next week."No additional delay is necessary or in the interests of justice," she wrote in an order.

The new charges in a superseding indictment added a fourth accuser and stretched the timeline of the allegations from three years to a decade. Prosecutors opposed the request, saying the rewritten indictment did not require a lot of additional work by the defence. Nathan has denied bail three times, finding Maxwell to be a risk of flight, and the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld her decision to reject a US$28.5 million bail package that would include 24-hour armed guards to ensure Maxwell made it to court.
