Ghislaine Maxwell faces additional charges as new accuser comes forward

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged Ghislaine Maxwell with two additional counts of sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor. Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged madam now faces a total of eight charges for which she could spend the rest of her life in prison.  

"Between in or about 2001 and in or about 2004, Epstein and Maxwell recruited Minor Victim- 4 to engage in sex acts with Epstein at the Palm Beach Residence, after which Epstein and, at times, Maxwell provided Minor Victim- 4 with hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter. Minor Victim- 4 truthfully told both Epstein and Maxwell her age," reads the court documents.   During the same period, Maxwell allegedly encouraged and enticed "the minor to recruit other girls to engage in paid sex acts with Epstein, which she did." The girl also says Maxwell sent her gifts, including lingerie, from an address in New York to the minor’s residence in Florida.
