And we've back – All rise!
Judge Nathan: Ms. Moe, you may take the podium.
AUSA Moe: Ms. Maxwell first met Jane at 14 years old. What she did to Jane and the others was almost unspeakable. Their pain is real and it matters. We ask for an above guideline sentence

ssistant US Attorney Moe: What kind of woman teaches a 14 year old girl how a middle aged man how he likes to have his pen*s touched? She was indifferent to the suffering of others. She did it for years.

Ghislaine Maxwell judge REDUCES possible maximum term from 55 years to 19.5 years in huge victory for defense: Sex-trafficking British socialite awaits her fate as she faces her victims in court

"Kate" (British accent) - How you do anything is how you do everything. Every person should have an equal fight to be protected. No person should be shielded from the consequences of their actions. Ghislaine's lack of remorse is the final insult.

Judge Nathan: Thank you. I'll now hear the statement of Ms [Elizabeth] Stein.
Stein: I came to New York in 1991 at the age of 18 to attend FIT. I became an intern at a store - and Maxwell came in.
Stein: Maxwell's links to Epstein and Les Wexner became aware of me. I went to deliver her clothes. Epstein was there and they sexually assaulted me. I returned to FIT, and the Henri Bendel store. But they pursued me, even when I went to Bloomingdales.

Stein: I once loved life. After I met them it felt like someone turned off the lights to my soul. I changed jobs, apartments, cities and even states. They found me. In 1997 I moved to Philadelphia, hoping to finally starting law school. They found me…

I was trafficked to their friends.

Maxwell's lawyer Bobbi Sternheim: To those who spoke, you have shown courage… The purpose of today is not to take issue with the record. That will be addressed to the Court of Appeals. This is about the US asking for "multiple decades" for a 60 year old woman
https://twitter.com/innercitypress/status/1541843127920648192
Sternheim: Probation recommended 20 years - now higher than applicable guideline. The US asks for the outer limits. It is out of proportion. Jeffrey Epstein would have faced the same - and he is clearly more culpable.

Judge Nathan: Ms. Maxwell.
Maxwell enters the booth to speak. She is in a blue prison shirt over white long sleeved shirt. She puts on glasses & begins
Maxwell: I empathized deeply with all the victims in this case. I realize I have been convicted of assisting Jeffrey Epstein to commit these crimes. My associate with Epstein will permanently stain me. It is the biggest regret of my life than I ever met him.
Maxwell: I believe Jeffrey Epstein fooled all of those in his orbit. His victims considered him a mentor, friend, lover. Jeffrey Epstein should have stood before you. In 2005. In 2009. And again in 2019. But today it is for me to be sentenced.

Maxwell: I am sorry for the pain you have experience. I hope my conviction and harsh incarceration brings you peace and finality. I hope this date bring a terrible chapter to the end.
Judge Nathan: Thank you, Ms. Maxwell. I'll get to the statement of judgment.
https://twitter.com/innercitypress/status/1541846366086914052
Judge Nathan: The guideline is 188 to 235 months… A jury convicted her. Ms. Maxwell is not being punished as a proxy of Epstein, but rather for her role in the criminal conduct. She participated in some of the abuse. Her conduct was heinous and predatory.

Baker, if the Maxwell verdict comes after post 700, will wait for New Bread.
Daily Mail's running with 15.
Judge Nathan: While Jane was 14, Maxwell engaged in sexual conduct with Epstein while she was present… Carolyn confided in Maxwell that she had been raped by her grandfather. Maxwell used it, to subject her to a cycle of abuse. Maxwell touched her breasts.

Judge Nathan: A significant sentence is necessary. I take into account the history & characteristics of the defendant, including her present lack of danger. She had an overbearing father. She's engaged in environment conservation. [Terramar
