The girlfriend of millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of pimping, faced physical abuse from the guards in the prison. This was stated by her lawyer, reports the New York Post.
It is reported that the incident occurred during one of the numerous searches. When Ghislaine Maxwell complained about the abuse, the guard forced her to wash the shower with a broom as punishment. According to the lawyer, the defendant also complains of baldness and weight loss triggered by a lack of sleep and inedible food in prison.
Jeffrey Epstein was charged with creating a criminal network that allowed him to sexually exploit and abuse dozens of girls, including 14-year-olds. According to some reports, he continued to engage in human trafficking until 2019. The American financier was detained on July 6, 2019 in New York. In August of the same year, he took his own life without waiting for the trial.
Maxwell was arrested at her estate on July 2, 2020. She was charged with six counts of indictment, including forcing minors to travel for illegal sex and perjury. She faces up to 35 years in prison.
