Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested this morning and charged with child sex-trafficking.
Epstein’s alleged madam and one-time girlfriend is accused of luring young girls and teenagers to Epstein’s Manhattan home to engage in sex with the billionaire financier.
Epstein and Maxwell were pals with the rich and famous, including England’s Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton, and current President Donald Trump (pictured in 1997 with Maxwell).
Maxwell was ordered held without bail during a hearing in a New Hampshire federal court on Thursday.
She went into hiding in New Hampshire after Epstein, 66, took his own life in a Manhattan jail cell last year.
The British socialite waived her right to have a detention hearing in New Hampshire. She will be transported to Manhattan where she faces a six-count federal indictment on child sex trafficking charges.
Maxwell, 58, is accused of grooming underage girls and teenagers for sex with Epstein in his Upper East Side townhouse, New Mexico, Florida and London.
“The victims were as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by Maxwell and Epstein, both of whom knew that certain victims were in fact under the age of 18,” the indictment reads, according to the NY Post.
