Ghislaine Maxwell sports black eye in first picture of sex trafficking suspect in jail
Ghislaine Maxwell has been pictured with a black eye.
The British socialite - accused of procuring teenage girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, allegations she denies - has been in prison since last year awaiting trial.
The 59-year-old was arrested at a secluded luxury home in New Hampshire in the summer and has since only been seen in court sketches during hearings.
Maxwell's legal team included the disturbing image in a filing on Thursday to alert the federal court in New York to ongoing concerns about her alleged treatment at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
Lawyer Bobbi Sternheim wrote yesterday that his client was "confronted by MDC staff due [to] a visible bruise over her left eye".
He claimed Maxwell got the "black eye" despite being under round the clock surveillance.
