Ghislaine Maxwell fears for her life, believes she might meet the same fate as Jeffrey Epstein
Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of disgraced
financier Jeffrey Epstein, believes the convicted pedophile was murdered while
awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges and fears the same end, according to
a friend.
“Everyone’s view, including Ghislaine’s, is Epstein was
murdered,” one of her friends told The U.S. Sun. “She received death threats
before she was arrested.”
Maxwell has been charged with conspiracy and perjury in a
multi-state sex trafficking ring involving three unnamed minors between 1994
and 1997.
Last week, New York Judge Alison Nathan said the British
socialite, accused of sexually abusing and exploiting girls as young as 14
alongside Epstein, posed too great a flight risk to be allowed to leave.
Maxwell will be behind bars in a Brooklyn, N.Y., detention center until her
trial, tentatively scheduled for July 2021. She was arrested on July 2 at her
New Hampshire estate.
Maxwell’s friend, who was “in regular contact with Maxwell
at her secret New Hampshire hideaway,” claims death threats ahead of her arrest
forced the British socialite to hire security guards and led her to believe
she, like Epstein, would not live to see her day in court.
Maxwell’s arrest and the details surrounding her case have
given the world a glimpse into the life of the woman once considered Epstein’s
closest confidant and who has hobnobbed with princes and presidents around the
world. Her proximity to Epstein and those he socialized with has made her the
target of powerful people who prefer not to have their name associated with
Epstein or Maxwell.
Epstein, awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, killed
himself in his jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019, under mysterious circumstances.
Maxwell denies all of the charges against her. If convicted,
she faces up to 35 years in jail.
