This document is a compilation of legal filings from late 2020 to early 2021 concerning Ghislaine Maxwell's repeated attempts to secure release on bail pending her trial for sex trafficking conspiracy. It includes the Government's opposition detailing her flight risk, wealth, and foreign ties (specifically to France and the UK), a victim statement from Annie Farmer, correspondence from the French Ministry of Justice confirming they do not extradite nationals, and Judge Nathan's orders denying bail. The documents highlight Maxwell's offer to renounce her foreign citizenships and pledge significant assets, all of which the Court found insufficient to assure her appearance.
