Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and alleged “madam” for the late billionaire sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, has been denied bail a second time despite offering a $28.5 million bail package in hopes of being released.
What are the details?
Bloomberg reported that a New York district judge on Monday “rejected Maxwell’s proposal that she be released on a $28.5 million bond, ruling that it doesn’t provide sufficient security that the former girlfriend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will show up for trial.”
Judge Alison Nathan wrote, “The court concludes that none of the new information that the defendant presented in support of her applications has a material bearing on the court’s determination that she poses a flight risk.”
The proposal presented to the judge on behalf of Maxwell and her husband, Scott Borgerson, included pledging $22.5 million of the couple’s assets and another $5 million from family and friends in order to secure her release from prison while she awaits trial.
