Social notables can be decades behind as victims make statements

Ghislaine Maxwell is sentenced today for her role in supplying Jeffrey Epstein with an abusive girl as part of the largest sex trafficking ring in US history.

The daughter of the late British news baron Robert Maxwell, who was educated in Oxford, was convicted at the end of last year in five of the six most serious cases of sexual abuse for minors in sex trafficking. , Her judgment may correspond to the validity period of the sentence.

A US prosecutor says her lawyer wants five or less, while a 60-year-old deserves 30 to 55 years in prison. The Parole Office recommended 20 years in its pre-judgment report.

The court will hear statements from seven women, including a British woman who testified in court under the name “Kate” and Sarah Lansam, who was not included in the indictment, regarding the effects on the victims.

Judge Alison Nathan will also be contacted by Virginia Jufre, who resolved the sexual abuse case with Prince Andrew earlier this year. Juffle, who lives in Australia, has no plans to appear in person, but will be hearing for the first time since the proceeding with the Duke of York was settled for $ 12 million. Duke violently denies his claim to him.
