Relationship Details

This document is a page from a court transcript dated December 10, 2020, in case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN. A prosecutor argues that the defendant is a significant flight risk due to the serious nature of the charges, which involve an alleged long-term scheme of abusing minors with Jeffrey Epstein, and her recent efforts to conceal her whereabouts in New England. The judge then interrupts to question an attorney, Ms. Moe, about a specific assertion made by the defense concerning Ms. Maxwell's contact with the government.

This legal document, filed on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, argues that her pretrial detention conditions at the MDC are excessively punitive and inappropriate. Her counsel asserts these conditions—including de facto solitary confinement and constant surveillance—are an overreaction to Epstein's death, are disproportionate for a non-violent detainee, and are impeding her ability to prepare a defense. The document references multiple unsuccessful attempts by counsel to remedy the situation through communication with the MDC, its legal department, and prosecutors.

This legal document, filed on behalf of Ghislaine Maxwell, argues that she is not a flight risk and should be granted release. It refutes the government's claim of her 'frequent international travel' by emphasizing that she has remained in the United States since Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in July 2019 and subsequent death in August 2019. The filing contends that her decision to stay in the U.S. despite intense media scrutiny and public calls for her prosecution demonstrates she has no intention of fleeing.
