Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who faces sentencing for sex trafficking girls with Jeffrey Epstein, is on suicide watch, her lawyer said
"The witnesses at trial testified about Ms. Maxwell's facilitation of Epstein's abuse, but Epstein was always the central figure: Epstein was the mastermind, Epstein was the principal abuser, and Epstein orchestrated the crimes for his personal gratification," defense attorneys said in their sentencing memorandum."Indeed, had Ghislaine Maxwell never had the profound misfortune of meeting Jeffrey Epstein over 30 years ago, she would not be here.
"Ghislaine vividly recalls a time when, at age 13, she tacked a poster of a pony on the newly painted wall of her bedroom. Rather than mar the paint with tape, she carefully hammered a thin tack to mount the poster," the defense memo said."This outraged her father, who took the hammer and banged on Ghislaine's dominant hand, leaving it severely bruised and painful for weeks to come.
"The accusers' memories ... started to shift," Menninger said."The truth was manipulated and changed over time."
