Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse underage girls for at least a decade between the 1990s and 2000s. The British former socialite, whose late father rose to prominence in the U.K. as a media baron and member of Parliament, faced a district court hearing in Manhattan that lasted several hours from the late morning until mid-afternoon. Following a widely publicized criminal trial, Maxwell was found guilty last December of conspiring with Epstein — her longstanding associate and romantic partner for a time — to groom, recruit and sexually abuse minors as part of the late financier's now-infamous trafficking ring. Maxwell was convicted of multiple charges related to sex trafficking and conspiracy. Maxwell's sentence includes five additional years of supervised release and a $750,000 fine. Judge Alison Nathan, who presided over the case, ordered her to immediately pay $100 for each count on which she was convicted. Bobbi Sternheim, Maxwell's defense lawyer, requested her transfer to a women's prison in Danbury, Connecticut, along with her enrollment in a family initiated treatment program to address past trauma. Her legal team was given 14 days to appeal Maxwell's sentence. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams acknowledged the sentence after Maxwell's hearing concluded, saying it "sends a strong message that no one is above the law and it is never too late for justice." "Today's sentence holds Ghislaine Maxwell accountable for perpetrating heinous crimes against children," Williams wrote in a statement. "We again express our gratitude to Epstein and Maxwell's victims for their courage in coming forward, in testifying at trial, and in sharing their stories as part of today's sentencing."
