For a fifth time, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has lost a bid to be freed on bail prior to a November trial on charges that she recruited teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse.

The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued a brief order rejecting Maxwell’s latest request. The three-judge panel that issued it did not elaborate.
