Ghislaine Maxwell loses late bid to block deposition's release, quickly appeals
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday denied Ghislaine Maxwell's last-ditch effort to keep a potentially damaging deposition from becoming public, as the jailed British socialite defends against criminal charges she aided the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of girls.

U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan rejected Maxwell's argument that her arrest on July 2 and indictment were "compelling" reasons to continue sealing her April 2016 deposition, and a deposition by an unnamed Epstein accuser.

The depositions came from a now-closed civil defamation lawsuit against Maxwell by one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre.

Maxwell filed a notice of appeal less than an hour after Preska ruled.
The lawyers have said the deposition included “intrusive” questions about Maxwell’s sex life and could prove embarrassing.
Ya think :popcorn:

Ghislaine Maxwell is seen cavorting with fugitive rape suspect Jean-Luc Brunel - who 'gave Jeffrey Epstein three 12-year-old sisters to abuse as a birthday present' - in newly uncovered photos taken on 'paedophile island'

Laughing and play-fighting in the early-evening sun - these photos could easily be mistaken for holiday snaps of a pair of close friends, perhaps even a couple. But their sunny exterior hides a darker truth. What they actually show are Jeffrey Epstein's two closest confidantes relaxing on his private Caribbean island - otherwise known as 'pedophile island'.

It was here that the billionaire is believed to have abused scores of young women, allegedly with Maxwell and Jean-Luc by his side, and participating in the abuse. The photos were taken by an island visitor in 2003, at a time when Epstein was at the height of his financial powers and had not yet been publicly accused of sex abuse.

ImageImageImage

Jean-Luc, despite already facing a slew of sex assault allegations, was the head of prestigious modelling agency MC2, and Maxwell was enjoying the high-life as the billionaire financier's 'best friend' and 'aggressive assistant'. Jean-Luc, 74, is believed to be hiding somewhere in South America, having vanished shortly after Epstein died.

Epstein bankrolled Jean-Luc's modelling agency, and in return the scout allegedly supplied him with a string of young women to abuse.

Jean-Luc Brunel is no longer a 'fugitive'..

Ex-Modeling Agent and Epstein Associate Is Arrested in France

A former modeling agent and associate of the financier Jeffrey Epstein was arrested at an airport near Paris this week as part of an investigation into allegations of rape and sexual assault, including against minors, French prosecutors said on Thursday.

The agent, Jean-Luc Brunel, a Frenchman born in 1946, was arrested on Wednesday just north of Paris at the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport. The investigation into his activities also involves charges of sexual harassment and child trafficking, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

The investigation is part of a broader inquiry that Paris prosecutors opened in August 2019 to uncover any potential offenses committed either in France or against French victims abroad in connection with the scandal involving Mr. Epstein, who was accused in the United States of sexually abusing and trafficking dozens of girls over extended periods of time.

She is currently having a second bail hearing in New York.

Prosecutors Say No Bail Stiff Enough for Ghislaine Maxwell, Accused Jeffrey Epstein Madam


Federal prosecutors on Friday urged a judge to reject a new bail request by Ghislaine Maxwell, saying there are no conditions that can ensure that the British socialite will not flee to avoid trial for allegedly abetting Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of children.

"The defendant poses an extreme flight risk," prosecutors wrote in a Manhattan federal court filing submitted days after Maxwell proposed being freed from a Brooklyn federal jail on $28.5 million bail.

Ghislaine Maxwell's latest request for bail denied by US federal judge

I think this qualifies as a good-news story. The full judgement is still under seal but there were some extracts published and are reproduced below.

The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell’s latest request for bail in her Manhattan federal court sex crimes case has been denied, new court filings revealed Monday.

In denying Maxwell’s request again, Manhattan federal court judge Alison J Nathan pointed to her previous ruling on the issue, which determined that she was a flight risk. Maxwell has been detained since her 2 July arrest and has been unsuccessful in previous efforts to secure her release pending trial.


Extracts from the ruling:

“On July 14, 2020, this court conducted an extensive bail hearing and determined that pre-trial detention was warranted because the no conditions or set of conditions could reasonably assure the Defendant’s appearance at future proceedings,” Nathan wrote.

While the issue of bail can be reconsidered if a judge determines that there’s new information that could change things, Nathan said, “the court concludes that none of the new information that the defendant presented in support of her application has a material bearing on the court’s determination that she poses a flight risk.”

“Furthermore, for substantially the same reasons as the court determined that detention was warranted in the initial bail hearing, the court again concludes that no conditions of release can reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future proceedings,” Nathan also said.

Ghislaine Maxwell faces new charges as US prosecutors expand criminal case

US prosecutors have expanded their criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell.

They have added charges that a fourth underage girl fell victim to her efforts to help the late financier Jeffrey Epstein advance his sex trafficking scheme.

Maxwell, who was Epstein’s longtime associate and former girlfriend, now faces an eight-count indictment that includes new charges of sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor.

Maxwell had previously pleaded not guilty to helping Epstein recruit and groom three teenage girls for sex between 1994 and 1997.

The amended indictment extends the period of Maxwell’s alleged crimes to between 2001 and 2004.
