Undated photo obtained on December 8, 2021 from the justice of New York, showing Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein ( US District Court for the Southern District of New York / Handout ) She will probably end her life in prison in New York: aged 60-year-old ex-British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted at the end of 2021 of sex trafficking of minors on behalf of deceased American financier Jeffrey Epstein, was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in prison. When Manhattan federal court judge Alison Nathan handed down that sentence for ‘heinous predatory’ sex crimes, Ghislaine Maxwell, shoulder-length hair, masked and dressed in black pants and a gray shirt, was remained almost impassive. But just before being fixed on her fate, the sexagenarian, incarcerated in New York for already two years, had for the first time expressed her “sympathy for all the victims” and said she was “sorry for the suffering felt” for sexual crimes committed between 1994 and 2004 against adolescent girls aged 14 to 17. Ghislaine Maxwell, however, placed the main responsibility on her former companion and accomplice Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison in New York in August 2019, “a manipulator (…) who deceived all those who were in his orbit ” . – ‘Heinous crimes against children’ – Judge Nathan replied that she was “not being punished instead of Epstein” and federal prosecutor Damian Williams blasted his “heinous crimes against children” by congratulating himself that “no one is above the law” in the United States. The heavy sentence was greeted with relief by the victims. Annie Farmer, a 40-year-old who painfully recounted during the trial at the end of 2021 how she fell as a teenager into the clutches of the Maxwell-Epstein couple, said she was satisfied that “it is never too late for truth and responsibility. “. Another, Sarah Ransome, launched in front of the press: “Yes, Ghislaine must die in prison”. “I spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey (Epstein) and all the accomplices did to me. I was raped many times. Sometimes I was raped three times by day (…). There was a constant influx of girls who were raped over and over again, “said this recognized victim but who was not a civil party in Ms. Maxwell’s trial. – 55 years incurred – After her trial in New York last November and December which had found her guilty of sex trafficking of minors for Jeffrey Epstein, the sixty-something woman faced up to 55 years of criminal imprisonment.

CLARY ) Her lawyers, who announced that they would appeal the sentence, had already asked in mid-June for a sentence of less than 20 years in prison and denounced the solitary confinement of their client in her New York prison, the prison administration citing a risk of “suicide”. The lawyers had also invoked, in vain, the responsibility and the harmful influence of the British press magnate Robert Maxwell – an “authoritarian” father who died in 1991 by falling mysteriously from his yacht – and Jeffrey Epstein.

CLARY ) Her trial had portrayed her as a “sophisticated predator” who acted as an “adult” to lure, seduce young girls and deliver them to Epstein at his residences in Florida, Manhattan, the New Mexico and the Virgin Islands. “Jane”, “Kate”, “Carolyn” and Annie Farmer had revealed their lives damaged by forced sex with Epstein – first sexual massages – when they were minors, often in the presence of Maxwell. – “The mistake of her life” – Born and raised in a hyper-privileged environment in the United Kingdom, Ghislaine Maxwell again assured this month via her lawyers that she had “had a difficult, traumatic childhood” and had made “the most grave mistake of his life” by meeting Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were in a relationship in the early 1990s before becoming professional collaborators and accomplices in their sex crimes for nearly 30 years. The financier, with powerful economic and political networks in the United States and abroad, was himself accused of having sexually assaulted and raped young girls, but his suicide extinguished the public action against him. Ghislaine Maxwell in 2013 in New York and Jeffrey Epstein, detained, in 2019 ( GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Laura Cavanaugh ) In a separate part of this case with international ramifications, British Prince Andrew, friend of the Maxwell-Epstein pair, sealed on February 15, an amicable agreement – for 13 million dollars according to the Daily Telegraph – with the American Virginia Giuffre, herself the alleged victim of the couple, who accused him of having sexually assaulted her in 2001 when she was a minor. The British royal family has thus avoided a civil trial in New York as resounding as it is embarrassing.
