3 The court concludes as follows:
4 First, the nature and circumstances of the offense
5 here weigh in favor of detention. As noted, the crimes
6 involving minor victims that Ms. Maxwell has been accused of
7 are serious enough to trigger a statutory presumption in favor
8 of detention. And to reiterate, Ms. Maxwell is presumed
9 innocent until proven guilty, but if she were convicted of
10 these crimes, the sentences she faces is substantial enough to
11 incentivize her to flee. In total, Ms. Maxwell, who is 58
12 years old, faces up to a 35-year maximum term of imprisonment
13 if convicted. And even if sentences are run concurrently, she
14 would still face up to a decade of incarceration.
15 Second, noting again that Ms. Maxwell is entitled to
16 the full presumption of innocence, it is appropriate to
17 consider the strength of the evidence proffered by the
18 government in assessing risk of flight. The government's
19 evidence at this early juncture of the case appears strong.
20 Although the charged conduct took place many years ago, the
21 indictment describes multiple victims who provided detailed
22 accounts of Ms. Maxwell's involvement in serious crimes. The
23 government also proffers that this witness testimony will be
24 corroborated by significant contemporaneous documentary
25 evidence. While the defense states that it intends to assert
