Prosecutors seek 30 to 55-year sentence for Ghislaine Maxwell

Federal prosecutors say convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to a minimum of 30 years and up to 55 years for her “instrumental role in the horrific sexual abuse of multiple young teenage girls," according to a sentencing memorandum.

In the memorandum filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, prosecutors wrote Maxwell, a British socialite, enjoyed "a life of extraordinary luxury and privilege" while engaging in a "disturbing agreement" with financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of five federal sex trafficking charges related to her role in recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, her close confidant.

“Instead of showing even a hint of acceptance of responsibility, the defendant makes a desperate attempt to cast blame wherever else she can,” prosecutors said in the sentencing memo.

if she names all the names in her little black book and can prove that every single one has been as guilty as she. Every single one.

Otherwise, supermax sounds like a good next stop.
