Ghislaine Maxwell To Appear In Court Via Video Feed For Bail Hearing

Ghislaine Maxwell, a former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, faces charges related to aiding Epstein in sexually abusing minors. She is currently held in a Brooklyn jail and could face up to 35 years in prison. Her legal team has requested bail, citing COVID-19 risks in jails, proposing a $5 million bond with home detention and GPS monitoring. However, prosecutors oppose this, arguing her wealth and multiple citizenships make her a flight risk. They highlight her ability to evade detection, noting an incident where she wrapped a phone in tinfoil to avoid law enforcement.
