'You deserve to be trapped in a cage': Accusers write to Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentencing judge

In a statement, Annie Farmer, said Maxwell’s lack of remorse and her repeated lies about victims forced “a long fight for justice that has felt like a black hole sucking in our precious time, energy and wellbeing”.

Seven women who say Ghislaine Maxwell helped Jeffrey Epstein steal the innocence of their youth and poison the promise of their future are asking a judge to consider their pain as she decides what prison sentence she will dispense on Tuesday to the British woman.

Their statements were put in the public case file late on Friday by Manhattan prosecutors who have asked US District Judge Alison J Nathan to sentence Maxwell to 30 to 55 years in prison for “monstrous” crimes resulting in a December sex trafficking conviction for a socialite who has been jailed since her July 2020 arrest.
