The longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of federal sex trafficking charges in December 2021.
The daughter of a British media magnate, Maxwell, 60, has been linked to Epstein since at least the early 1990s, first as his girlfriend and later as his closest associate. The two systematically groomed and abused young girls, particularly ones who were vulnerable — those with single mothers, difficult home lives, and in need of money. They would make the girls feel special, treating them to movies and shopping trips and even offering to pay for school.
Maxwell was “key to the whole operation,” Assistant US Attorney Alison Moe said in her closing argument. Virginia Roberts Giuffre echoed this sentiment in her victim impact statement, which was delivered by her attorney, saying Ghislaine"deserve[s] to spend the rest of [her] life in a jail cell ... trapped in a cage forever, just like [she] trapped [her] victims."
