Posted by She really thinks she hasn’t done anything wrong and that her charges will be dropped when people read it.’
In a self-serving prison interview last year, she denied knowledge of the dead financier’s crimes, insisting she regretted ever meeting him and had no idea he was ‘capable of evil.’
But hundreds of documents made public in January, relating to a long-settled defamation case filed against Maxwell by Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre, made a mockery of her claims of innocence.
Ghislaine Maxwell‘s 2021 conviction for helping the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls has been upheld by a US appeals court.
The decision was issued by the Manhattan-based 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday.
Maxwell, 62, has been serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted on five charges for having recruited and groomed four underage girls for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004.
She was described as ‘dangerous’ during her trial as jurors were told details of how she helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein’s various properties.
Judge Alison Nathan said at sentencing that Maxwell was ‘central’ to Epstein’s heinous crimes, not a ‘proxy.’
‘Ms Maxwell worked with Epstein to select young victims who were vulnerable and played a pivotal role in facilitating sexual abuse,’ the judge said.
