Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team say she should not be made a scapegoat for Jeffrey Epstein
Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of helping the late Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, are calling for a jail sentence far below the recommended term of 20 years.They also cite Maxwell's abusive upbringing and alleged mistreatment in prison as reasons for leniency.
But in the filing, her lawyers argue that the "appropriate sentence in this case is one that is well below the advisory guideline range".They say that Epstein was the "mastermind" behind the sex trafficking ring the pair ran and that Maxwell should not be sentenced "as if she were a proxy for Epstein simply because Epstein is no longer here".
Her legal team also say alleged harsh treatment of Maxwell in prison should be taken into account. She has been in jail since her arrest in July 2020.
