A US judge has denied bail for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime associate charged with luring young girls so the late financier could sexually abuse them.
US District Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan rejected Ms Maxwell's bid for bail after prosecutors portrayed the wealthy socialite as an extreme flight risk on Tuesday.Prosecutors have accused Ms Maxwell of helping Epstein recruit and eventually abuse girls as young as 14 from 1994 to 1997 and lying about her role in depositions in 2016.She appeared tired, with her hair pulled back, and was wearing a brown T-shirt and tortoiseshell glasses.
"She is a sexual predator who groomed and abused me and countless other children and young women," Farmer told the court. This accuser said she knew Ms Maxwell for more than 10 years and still felt threatened, adding,"if she is out, I need to be protected".Ms Maxwell's lawyers had sought a bail package including a $7.2 million bond and home confinement with electronic monitoring."The defendant has the ability to live in hiding, she's good at it," Ms Moe said, adding that Ms Maxwell has demonstrated she can"live off the grid, indefinitely".
