In the midst of the Epstein files controversy, the ‘disgraced socialite’ Ghislaine Maxwell is back in the headlines.
‘G-Max’ grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth as the youngest daughter of British media mogul (and alleged Mossad spy) Robert Maxwell.
Once Maxwell ‘fell from his boat’ and died, it became clear he had been plundering the pension funds from his companies.
Ghislaine flew to America to escape public disgrace, and ended up entangled in the web of ‘financier’ Jeffrey Epstein, becoming for decades his most trusted friend and accomplice.
When the Epstein scandal broke, she led a life of a fugitive of sorts, again engulfed by public disgrace.
She was arrested, tried and convicted for 5 counts: Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts; Conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts; Transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts; Sex trafficking conspiracy; Sex trafficking of a minor.
From her cell in FCI Tallahassee in Florida, Ghislaine is said to be working on her memoir, and has lately launched an appeal to the Supreme Court to have her sentencing reviewed.
She also inserted herself in the current Epstein files controversy, and offered to be deposed in congress.
Telegraph reported:
“The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to reject an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
Her lawyers had asked the court to review her conviction, arguing she was protected under a 2008 non-prosecution agreement Epstein struck with prosecutors in Florida.”
“That contention is incorrect, and petitioner does not show that it would succeed in any court of appeals,” wrote D John Sauer, the US solicitor-general.
During G-max’s trial, four women testified that she ‘recruited and groomed’ them for Epstein at his homes in New York, New Mexico, Florida and the Virgin Islands.
Her lawyers argue that the original deal Epstein struck in 2008 in Florida should have also protected from prosecution.
“’A defendant should be able to rely on a promise that the United States will not prosecute again, without being subject to a gotcha in some other jurisdiction that chooses to interpret that plain language promise in some other way’, wrote David Markus, Maxwell’s lawyer.”
