Judge Nathan described Maxwell’s offending as “heinous and predatory” as she sentenced her to a term that exceeded her own maximum sentencing guideline of up to 19 years and eight months. Also speaking in court on Tuesday were victims “Kate”, Sarah Ransome and Elizabeth Stein, who told of being “trapped” into Epstein’s web of abuse by Maxwell for years. Ms Sternheim called the prosecution’s request for the maximum sentence “out of proportion”, adding: “Jeffrey Epstein would have faced the same, and he is clearly more culpable.” “I know that what we heard today does not beg sympathy for Ghislaine,” she said, before seeking to cast blame on Maxwell’s “narcissistic” father. “Not only did her conduct exhibit a callous disregard for other human beings, but her practice of targeting vulnerable victims reflects her view that struggling young girls could be treated like disposable objects.” Meanwhile, Maxwell’s defence called for her to serve no more than five and a quarter years in prison, arguing that she is being scapegoated in the wake of Epstein’s suicide and that she has already served a significant amount of time locked up at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
