Maxwell Big House ☕
If she doesn't get out early, Maxwell will be an octogenarian when released from prison.
Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison today for her conviction on five counts of sex trafficking. She was Jeffrey Epstein’s “right hand man.”
Epstein didn’t kill himself, btw.
Meanwhile, there are people in jail with longer prison sentences for possessing or peddling weed.
However, the British socialite is 60 years old - which means even if she gets out early on good behavior, Maxwell will likely be in her 70s.
“US District Judge Alison Nathan said the sentence of 240 months was “sufficient and no graver than necessary,” for Maxwell, who earlier addressed the court and told her victims, “I am sorry for the pain that you experienced.”
“I hope my conviction and harsh incarceration brings you pleasure,” said Maxwell, wearing blue jail scrubs, her dark brown locks cut in a bob.”
Prosecutors tried to persuade Judge Alison Nathan to give Maxwell a sentence of at least 30 years for her ‘utter lack of remorse.’ Maxwell’s lawyers pushed for just four years.
Four. Because '“she’s not a danger to the public.”
Tell that to the 150 documented female victims abused over the years.
Here are excerpts from two victims who wrote testimony for the court:
'Without question, Jeffrey Epstein was a terrible pedophile.
'But I never would have met Jeffrey Epstein if not for you. For me, and for so many others, you opened the door to hell. And then, Ghislaine, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, you used your femininity to betray us, and you led us all through it.
'Ghislaine, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in a jail cell. You deserve to be trapped in a cage forever, just like you trapped your victims.'
— Virginia Roberts
'Maxwell was his right hand woman. She was the Five Star General of several recruiters and many others who provided the means and cover for Epstein's predation.
'Epstein and Maxwell were masters at finding young, vulnerable girls and young women to exploit. Like Hotel California, you could blindly check into the Epstein-Maxwell dungeon of sexual hell but you could never leave. Jeffrey and Ghislaine made sure of that'. — Sarah Ransome
Is twenty years justice?
Will we ever learn who the clientele is contained in Maxwell’s infamous little black book?
Not sure. But we’re pretty sure Epstein didn’t kill himself.
