Maxwell's attorneys say she was 'vulnerable' to Epstein, and that meeting him was the 'biggest mistake she made in her life'. 9News
have asked a judge to sentence her to a significantly lower sentence than recommended by the government, saying her difficult childhood made her vulnerable to Jeffrey Epstein and that she shouldn't face a harsh sentence because of his actions.
"But this Court cannot sentence Ms Maxwell as if she were a proxy for Epstein simply because Epstein is no longer here," Maxwell's attorney said in their sentencing recommendation. In Maxwell's request for a more lenient sentence, her attorneys said it would be a "travesty of justice" if Maxwell faced a sentence appropriate for Epstein. They recommended that she receive between four years three months and five years three months years in prison.
"Her life has been ruined. Since Epstein's death, her life has been threatened and death threats continue while she is incarcerated."
