The British socialite was sentenced to 20 years in prison last month
Jurors heard prosecutors describe her as “dangerous” during her three-week trial last year, and were told details of how she helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein’s various properties for him to sexually abuse.The crimes of Epstein, whose associates once included Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, were first reported in 2005. He served prison time in Florida in 2008 on a state charge of procuring a minor for prostitution.
Epstein was found dead in his cell while awaiting similar charges to Maxwell in August 2019. Maxwell has been detained since she was arrested in July 2020. During Maxwell’s trial, four women spoke in court to describe the traumatizing effects of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse. Prosecutors said the pair conspired to set up a scheme to entice young individuals into sexual relationships with Epstein from 1994 to 2004 in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.
In addition to sex trafficking, Maxwell was convicted of transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three related counts of conspiracy.
