"Ghislaine Maxwell is not an heiress, villain, or vapid socialite. She has worked hard her entire life. She has energy, drive, commitment, a strong work ethic, and desire to do good in the world," the lawyers wrote in advance of a sentencing scheduled for June 28.
They also said Maxwell endured a "difficult, traumatic childhood with an overbearing, narcissistic, and demanding father." They also alleged an inmate at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn tried to kill her.
