Ghislaine Maxwell claims physical abuse by prison guard during search

[bullwinkle428]

Ghislaine Maxwell has been “physically abused” by prison guards, is losing her hair and is “withering to a shell of her former self,” her lawyer has claimed in a letter to a New York Judge. The 59-year-old former partner of billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, but her lawyers are asking for her to be released on bail citing intolerable jail conditions.

"Recently, out of view of the security camera, Ms. Maxwell was placed in her isolation cell and physically abused during a pat down search," wrote Bobbi Sternheim. “When Ms. Maxwell recoiled in pain and when she said she would report the mistreatment, she was threatened with disciplinary action,” she added.

A week later the same team of guards "ordered" Maxwell into a shower "to clean, sanitise, and scrub the walls with a broom," the lawyer claimed.

“She is withering to a shell of her former self – losing weight, losing hair, and losing her ability to concentrate,” Ms Sternheim wrote, in the letter addressed to New York judge Alison Nathan.

I guess my sympathy cup must be running low today. First Limbaugh, and now this monster. Sorry, I'm not feeling it.

1. What about

“She is withering to a shell of her former self – losing weight, losing hair, and losing her ability to concentrate,”

What about the young, underage girls losing their virginity for your twisted benefit?

2. Next thing, they'll "suicide" her.

3. The horrors, having to clean a bathroom. Prison is really getting rough.

4. People should not be abused in prison ... in particular while awaiting trial

but really ... never.

I'm not saying I necessarily believe her lawyer, but ... philosophically.

I can't celebrate it.

7. Agreed.

5. I hope she isn't being abused.

No one should be, ever. However, I hope the truth comes out and if she’s been assaulted, the guards are held accountable. When is this woman’s trial? Seems this has been dragging on and on. Ms. Maxwell is a flight risk I would think.

8. This woman

Spend 30 years as a professional liar. Not giving her any benefits of doubt when there isn't any supporting evidence.

9. What does she expect organic food?

I don't really much care what happens to her.

10. I want her to stay alive long enough

For the truth to come out in court.
