An attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell has issued the first on-the-record response to the criminal indictment against Maxwell for perjury and sex crimes against minors, calling the federal charges “meritless.”
Attorney General William Barr spoke to ABC News’ Pierre Thomas about the arrest of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell., the former companion of sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein, has issued the first on-the-record response to the criminal indictment against Maxwell for perjury and sex crimes against minors, calling the federal charges “meritless.”
Maxwell was arrested by federal authorities last week in New Hampshire and is facing a six-count federal indictment alleging that she conspired within a multi-state sex trafficking scheme involving three unnamed minor victims between 1994 and 1997. Prosecutors contend Maxwell not only “befriended” and later “enticed and groomed multiple minor girls to engage in sex acts with Epstein, through a variety of means and methods,” but was also, at times, “present for and involved” in the abuse herself.
Maxwell's attorney noted in the Thursday filing that Maxwell was answering Does' complaint"to the extent that she can without waiving the right against self-incrimination under the United States and New York constitutions and otherwise will invoke that right."
