Ghislaine Maxwell urged a U.S. judge not to admit testimony from four female accusers at her sentencing next Tuesday for aiding the financier Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls.
In a Friday letter to Circuit Judge Alison Nathan, who presided over Maxwell's trial and will sentence the British socialite, Maxwell's lawyer Bobbi Sternheim said it would be "unduly prejudicial" to publicize the women's "victim impact statements" or consider them when imposing sentence.
Farmer and the accuser "Kate," who both testified at Maxwell's trial, plan to attend her sentencing in Manhattan federal court while the other accusers do not, prosecutors said. Prosecutors want Maxwell to spend at least 30 years in prison, citing her "utter lack of remorse" as she blamed others for her own "shockingly predatory" conduct.Friday's filings included written statements from Farmer, Kate and Giuffre about how Maxwell affected their lives.
