Judge Nathan imposed an above-Guidelines sentence of 240 months’ imprisonment. Dkt. 737 at 96. Maxwell, she stated, had “directly[,] repeatedly, and over the course of many years participated in a horrific scheme to entice, transport, and traffic underage girls, some as young as 14, for sexual abuse by and with Jeffrey Epstein.” Id. at 89. As an example, she noted, after Carolyn had confided in Maxwell her personal history of having been raped and molested by her grandfather starting at a very young age, Maxwell used that knowledge to continue the “cycle of sexual abuse,” inducing Carolyn to give Epstein “sexualized massages” for “years,” and by herself touching Carolyn’s breasts when Carolyn was 14 years old. Id. at 90–91. Judge Nathan also noted that Maxwell had repeatedly deflected blame and lied about her offenses, including in a civil deposition and to Pretrial Services and the Court. Id. at 95.4

It upheld Judge Nathan’s (1) holding that a 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida did not bar Maxwell’s prosecution in this District; (2) holding that the S2 Indictment had been timely filed; (3) denial of Maxwell’s Rule 33 motion based on juror misconduct; (4) response to a jury note, which Maxwell had argued resulted in a constructive amendment of or prejudicial variance from the S2 Indictment; and (5) sentence as procedurally reasonable. United States v. Maxwell, 118 F.4th 256, 270 (2d Cir.
