Gillian maxwell, found guilty in December of recruiting and
grooming young girls for her then partner, Jeffrey Epstein. In the ten years
from 1994 to 2004, Gillaine maxwell's defense said that she was a proxy for him
and being unfairly accused of his crimes. The judge did not accept it and
levied a sentence somewhere in between the four or five years that the defense
had suggested as a jail term and the 30 to 55 year maximum that the prosecution
had sought. Maxwell, dressed in a prison uniform and in shackles, addressed the
court. She said, it is my sincerest wish to all those in this courtroom and to
all those outside this courtroom, that this day brings a terrible chapter to
the end. Her lawyer spoke directly after the sentence was handed down.
Galen will appeal this case, and we are confident that she
will prevail on appeal. If today's sentence stands, 60 year old Galaine maxwell
will hope good behavior can trim time off the 20 years. Even if it does, she's
likely in prison late into her seventy s and for most of the rest of her life.
