Gislaine Maxwell was convicted in December[/QUOTE] on five charges,[/B] including sex trafficking of minors, after a month-long trial in which jurors heard testimony about her relationship with Epstein. Prosecutors argued during the trial that she helped him set up a scheme to lure young girls into sexual relationships between 1994 and 2004.
Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in jail shortly after being indicted for alleged involvement in a sex trafficking ring of underage girls, while Maxwell was arrested the following year.
According to Sky News, Gislaine Maxwell will have to serve, at least 30 years in prison for her role in the sexual abuse of teenage girls, US prosecutors said ahead of her sentencing hearing.
Shockingly, in newly released statements, Maxwell is described as a "predator", with her crimes described as "monstrous".
Citing a "difficult, traumatic childhood" with an overbearing father, Maxwell's lawyers say she was "vulnerable" to Epstein and that her encounter with him was the "biggest mistake she made in her life". Her lawyers argue that she should serve no more than four or five years in prison, citing "inappropriate" behavior and poor detention conditions.
However, prosecutors said the allegations of poor detention conditions are not grounds for reducing her sentence, adding that, "she has enjoyed remarkable privileges as a prisoner to date." So, from her opulent life in London and private jet travel with Geoffrey Epstein, it appears that Gislaine Maxwell will serve at least 30 years in prison for her "horrific" crimes.
