Ghislaine Maxwell has (FINALLY) been sentenced to 20 years in prison
The British socialite and daughter of alleged Mossad agent Robert Maxwell is finally facing the penalties for her “instrumental role in the horrific sexual abuse of multiple young teenage girls.”
In addition, Maxwell was sentenced to five years of supervised release once she gets out of prison and ordered to pay a $750,000 fine.
Before she was sentenced, Maxwell addressed the court for the first time, telling the victims present in the courtroom that she was “sorry for the pain you have experienced.”
“I also want to acknowledge I have been convicted with helping Jeffrey Epstein with his crimes. It is the greatest regret of my life that I ever met Jeffrey Epstein,” said Maxwell.
U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan for the Southern District of New York said Maxwell “directly and repeatedly, and over the course of many years, was involved in a horrific scheme.”
“Ms. Maxwell today acknowledged the courage of the victims, talked about the pain and anguish they expressed, to some extent acknowledged the pain and suffering. What wasn’t expressed was acceptance of responsibility,” said the judge.
Jeffrey Epstein supposedly committed suicide in his prison cell at one of the harshest prisons in America: The Metropolitan Correctional Center
El Chapo, Bernie Madoff, John Gotti, Michael Avenatti, and some of the world’s most notorious terrorists have been housed at what is better known as “M.C.C.”
Prisoners are held at M.C.C. as they wait for their trials or to be transferred to federal prisons after conviction.
The prison has housed almost 900 inmates in the past including Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell’s Attorney’s on Her Sentencing Recommendation
“Ms. Maxwell has already experienced a hard time during detention under conditions far more onerous and punitive than any experienced by a typical pretrial detainee, and she is preparing to spend significantly more time behind bars. Her life has been ruined. Since Epstein’s death, her life has been threatened and death threats continue while she is incarcerated.”
Prosecutors disputed Maxwell’s claims of maltreatment at the Metropolitan Detention Center, saying the following:
“Maxwell has enjoyed remarkable privileges as a high-profile inmate that vastly exceed the benefits accorded to the average inmate, including access to a private shower, television, desktop computer, laptop, and her own space to spend time outside of her cell.”
