Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend is to face a judge and at least one of her accusers at a video hearing to determine whether she stays behind bars until trial on charges that she recruited girls for the financier to sexually abuse a quarter of a century before he killed himself in a Manhattan jail.

The hearing in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday afternoon is expected to feature a not-guilty plea by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell along with arguments over whether she will flee if she is released.
