NEW YORK — Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to New York City to face charges of luring women into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex abuse trap.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed Monday that Maxwell was being held at MDC Brooklyn after her arrest last week in New Hampshire. She is accused of enticing underage girls to travel across state lines for sex. Prosecutors say she at times participated in sexual abuse of girls with Epstein.
The feds seek a Friday hearing in Manhattan federal court on whether the British socialite will remain behind bars pending trial.
Epstein hanged himself last year at MDC Brooklyn’s sister institution in lower Manhattan, MCC, while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
