Summary
This document is page 95 of a court transcript from the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell on July 22, 2022.

While acknowledging that Maxwell and her attorney Ms. Sternheim expressed sympathy for the victims' suffering, the judge emphasizes that Maxwell failed to express acceptance of responsibility.
