Federal prosecutors asked a judge in a court filing to sentence Ghislaine Maxwell to 30 to 55 years in prison for sex trafficking a minor and other charges related to a sprawling conspiracy to abuse young girls with the wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein
"Maxwell was an adult who made her own choices. She made the choice to sexually exploit numerous underage girls. She made the choice to conspire with Epstein for years, working as partners in crime and causing devastating harm to vulnerable victims," prosecutors wrote in the sentencing memo."She should be held accountable for her disturbing role in an extensive child exploitation scheme." Last week, Maxwell's lawyers asked a judge to sentence her to between 4.25 and 5.
What the prosecution's sentencing memo arguesProsecutors described Maxwell's conduct as"shockingly predatory," calling her a"calculating, sophisticated, and dangerous criminal who preyed on vulnerable young girls and groomed them for sexual abuse.""Maxwell's victims trusted her: she was a seemingly respectable woman who showed interest in them and promised to help them.
