Opinion: One More Reason to Keep Ghislaine Maxwell in Prison

Ghislaine Maxwell currently winters at Camp Bryan, a minimum security prison in Texas, but is hoping to spend the summer in a more fashionable location. She recently petitioned the U.S. District Court in Manhattan to vacate her 2021 conviction for sex trafficking minors.

If allowed out, it’s unclear where Maxwell would live. She has previously resided in London, Paris, Palm Beach, and New York City. It was on the Upper East Side in the 1990s that Maxwell met Jeffrey Epstein and the two bonded over shared interests: social climbing and exploiting young women.

Epstein provided the funding while Maxwell did the recruiting. Victims have testified that Maxwell trolled Florida spas looking to recruit teenagers to massage Epstein, reassuring high schoolers in her clipped British accent that nothing untoward would occur.
