Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and confidante of the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, is selling her London home to raise funds to pay for her legal defence, according to her family’s spokesman.
Maxwell, the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, has been held without bail in a New York jail since her July arrest on federal charges alleging she and Epstein groomed and abused girls as young as 14 years old between 1994 and 1997. She pleaded not guilty to all charges. US prosecutors have opposed granting bail, arguing that she might flee the US.
