This legal letter, sent by attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim on behalf of her client Ghislaine Maxwell to Judge Alison J. Nathan, formally complains about Maxwell's harsh and restrictive conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). The letter refutes a previous communication from MDC staff, detailing issues such as significant weight loss, isolation, constant surveillance, and a recent quarantine that hindered her defense preparation. Sternheim renews the request for the MDC Warden, Heriberto Tellez, to respond directly to the Court and justify these conditions.

This legal document, filed on August 19, 2019, in the Southern District of New York, is an order of nolle prosequi for the case against defendant Jeffrey Epstein. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Alison Moe, Alex Rossmiller, and Maurene Comey recommend dropping the charges, and U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman directs the filing, which is then ordered by Judge Richard M. Berman. This action formally terminates the criminal prosecution against Epstein.

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that a Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) made with the defendant (Epstein) in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL) does not prevent his current prosecution in the Southern District of New York. The prosecution asserts that the language of the NPA explicitly limits its scope to the SDFL and does not cover the alleged conduct or victims in New York. The filing cites specific text from the NPA and legal precedent from the Second Circuit to support its position that one U.S. Attorney's office agreement does not bind another.

This legal document is a portion of a prosecution filing arguing against granting bail to a defendant. The prosecution asserts that the defendant's wealth should not permit him to create a private, guard-monitored home confinement, citing legal precedent. It further argues the defendant poses an ongoing danger to the community, referencing a prior conviction for a sex crime with a minor and the discovery of a large collection of sexually suggestive photographs of underage females at his residence.

This legal document, page 9 of a court filing, argues against a defendant's proposal to hire private security guards as an alternative to pretrial detention. It cites numerous legal precedents from the Second Circuit and other district courts to assert that such arrangements create a conflict of interest, magnify flight risks, and foster unequal treatment based on wealth, which is contrary to the principles of the Bail Reform Act. The document highlights past cases where wealthy defendants on private security details violated the terms of their release.

This legal document, dated July 12, 2019, is a filing by the U.S. Government arguing for the pretrial detention of the defendant, Jeffrey Epstein. The prosecution refutes the defense's attempt to characterize the alleged crimes as 'simple prostitution,' asserting that under federal law, a minor cannot consent to being exploited, and coercion is not a required element for a child sex trafficking charge. Citing the defendant's history of abuse and past statements minimizing his conduct, the Government concludes that he poses a significant flight risk and danger to the community.

This legal document is a filing arguing against granting bail to a defendant accused of a years-long scheme of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls. The prosecution contends that the defendant's proposed bail package is inadequate, he is a flight risk due to his wealth and private jet, and he poses a danger to the community. The document details the allegations, including that the defendant paid victims and victim-recruiters in cash in locations like New York and Palm Beach, and urges the Court to order him detained pending trial.

This is a letter dated April 7, 2021, from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The letter strongly objects to the conditions of Ms. Maxwell's pretrial detention at the MDC, describing them as a form of "'pay-it-forward' punishment." It details a recent incident involving a pervasive sewage stench in her unit and argues that the government's portrayal of her confinement as superior is inaccurate and misses the point of her overly restrictive and unwarranted detention.
