Excuse me while I sit here pointing and laughing at this pervert facing the consequences she deserves.
Ghislaine Maxwell sentenced to 20 years over sex trafficking
[bbc.co.uk]
Ghislaine Maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in a U.S. prison for helping disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls.
Maxwell, 60, was convicted in December of recruiting and trafficking four teenage girls for sexual abuse by Epstein, her then boyfriend.
One of her accusers said outside the court earlier that she should remain in prison for the rest of her life.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019. He had been awaiting his own sex trafficking trial.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes took place over a decade, between 1994 and 2004.
Before her sentencing, Maxwell, dressed in prison clothes, apologised to the victims. She said she empathised with them and meeting Epstein was “the biggest regret” of her life.
“My association with Epstein will permanently stain me,” she said, adding that she hoped her prison sentence would allow the victims “peace and finality.”
I believe you were looking for the adjectives.. narcissistic sadist
I wonder if female sex offenders are treated the same way in prison by their fellow inmates as male sex offenders are.
I'm feel sorry for her because I think she was a scapegoat. Guilty by association in my opinion is why she is going to prison. And probably because she won't name names. I bet this is not over.
Scapegoat? I don't think so. Ghislaine Maxwell was a well educated adult from a wealthy family when she met up with Epstein. She curated young girls from disadvantaged families for the express purpose of exploitation. Scapegoat is not a word I would use to describe her. She knew what she was doing and knew it was wrong, not to mention illegal.
I have to agree with Betty. She was no scapegoat. She helped groom these young girls!
No. The scapegoat is her feigned regret/innocence/victimhood. She is a sociopathic psycopathic narcissistic sadist. If you were familiar with them it would be no mystery to you.
It should have been LIFE with NO CHANCE FOR PAROLE.
Considering her life will undoubtedly be cut short in prison, I think it will ultimately have the same effect.
20 years, and given that prison ethos is that such sex offenders are lower than a worms arse -hole and as such are open game, so to speak, for even worst and hardest of inmates, then I'd say it is an Odds on bet that she'll NOT be joining the General Population unfortunately.
I agree. She'll be protected but does not deserve that protection.
I do not know why she does not give up the names of the famous people that had a sick association with Epstein .Obviously there is more of a chance she will be killed in prison if she does not give up the names due to the fact that these people will fear she will .If she gives up the names there will be no reason to kill her other than revenge . These unknown perverts do not deserve to be protected by her not giving them up.
Sorry friend but in the Prison systems, a "rock-spider" gets no mercy from even the worst and most hardened of the other criminals.
No matter what their crimes were, to them hers ranks as the worst of worst and there are secret Kudos to earned/gained for the one who actually kills her first.
I wish she would give them up as well. It baffles me that she won’t.
Somewhere she most likely has a list, hidden, and using it as a "don't have me killed in prison card."
I wonder if she too, like Epstein, will suffer a prompt and convenient death by suicide, like he did, once she is in prison. I'm disappointed that The Guardian simply repeats the official story that Epstein killed himself as if it were undisputed fact and doesn't even mention the suspiciousness of his death...
If she were as close to Epstein as it appears, she would have inside information on some very powerful people.
Those types of deaths take others that might have been aware and participating right off the table in these types of events. It works even if you are political and in high places.
@DenoPenno Yup, it's the same as when the mob, as in Mafia, takes out a witness to a crime and everybody else that knows something about the crime suddenly loses their memory or refuses to cooperate with law enforcement. Because in cases like Epstein, even those in politics and high places know that the people who are involved in the crimes have all the money, connections in law enforcement, organized crime, and the intelligence community to be able to kill you, no matter where you are, and nobody will ever be able to prove it or punish them for it.
Even going into federal witness protection probably wouldn't work, since there are probably moles inside there that would give away someone's new identity and whereabouts.. As they used to say on the TV show The X-Files, " Trust No One"...
If she were free and not in prison, this would be one of those cases where the best thing you could do, the same as a stalking victim or the spouse of an abuser who wants to kill you, is to simply disappear on your own and tell no one where you are going....
@DenoPenno, @p-nullifidian As I said above, that is why she is not likely to live long enough in prison to be able to inform on them.
