Ghislaine Maxwell seeks release on $5 million bail, says prosecution barred by Jeffrey Epstein deal
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite criminally charged with facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls, is asking for bail of $5 million, and argues that her prosecution is barred by a non-prosecution deal that the now-dead Epstein signed with federal authorities years ago.
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite criminally charged with facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls, on Friday asked for bail of $5 million, and argues that her prosecution is barred by a non-prosecution deal that the now-dead Epstein signed with federal authorities years ago.
The attorneys said that the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on prisoners warrants Maxwell's release on bail, as does the fact that the 58-year-old "has strong ties to the community," holds American citizenship and has resided in the U.S. for decades. Prosecutors previously have said they want Maxwell detained without bail, calling her an extreme flight risk. Prosecutors have noted she holds several passports, citizenship in three countries, including Britain and France, and is wealthy.
