Maxwell Serving 20 Years for Sex Trafficking
Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 of sex trafficking and conspiracy charges for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004.1 A federal jury in Manhattan found her guilty on five of six counts after a monthlong trial.
She is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security federal prison in Florida.1 Maxwell was sentenced in June 2022 by U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan.
Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.1 His death occurred at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he was being held without bail.
Epstein’s Island Was Site of Crimes
Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, known as Little St. James, was the site of numerous alleged sexual assaults against minors over a period of years.1 Court documents and victim testimony identified the island as a primary location where Epstein and Maxwell trafficked and abused underage girls.
The 70-acre island was purchased by Epstein in 1998 for approximately $8 million. Multiple victims testified during Maxwell’s trial about being taken to the island and assaulted there.
