1 The sentence I impose must reflect the gravity of
2 Ms. Maxwell's conduct, of Ms. Maxwell's offense, the pivotal
3 role she played in facilitating the offense, and the
4 significant and lasting harm it inflicted. So, too, must the
5 sentence promote respect for the law, provide just punishment,
6 and afford adequate deterrence.
7 As I have described, this scheme was long-lasting, it
8 was far-reaching, it was horribly damaging to the victims.
9 Just punishment and promotion of respect for the law, it
10 demands a substantial sentence that meets the scope of the
11 conduct and the scope of the harm.
12 Moreover, general deterrence is critically important
13 to the sentence I will impose. A substantial sentence will
14 send an unmistakable message that those who engage in and
15 facilitate the sexual abuse and trafficking of underaged
16 victims will be held accountable by the law.
17 As the probation department stated, a significant
18 sentence should promote general deterrence against the
19 exploitation and degradation of humans made possible by this
20 offense, and I fully agree. But let me be clear that
21 Ms. Maxwell is wealthy or that this case is high profile is not
22 a basis for increasing punishment in any regard, but the rule
23 of law demands, and this Court must ensure that, whether you
24 are rich or poor, powerful or entirely unknown, nobody is above
25 the law. That message serves the important interest in
2 Ms. Maxwell's conduct, of Ms. Maxwell's offense, the pivotal
3 role she played in facilitating the offense, and the
4 significant and lasting harm it inflicted. So, too, must the
5 sentence promote respect for the law, provide just punishment,
6 and afford adequate deterrence.
