Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago

A survivor’s account places Ghislaine Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago, where the survivor said Maxwell approached her while she worked at the spa and offered work connected to Epstein. The saved records also include the trial witness Jane’s account that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at the club when she was 14. The club’s property report retains the social-contact footage and the separately attributed accounts.

1994–2004: Recruiting, grooming and abuse

Ghislaine Maxwell helped Jeffrey Epstein recruit and groom underage girls, facilitated their travel and participated in some of the abuse, according to the trial evidence summarized by federal prosecutors. Victims were as young as 14. Her presence helped gain their trust, and offers of travel and education helped make victims feel indebted. Maxwell and Epstein also paid some victims to recruit other girls.

2021–2022: Conviction and 20-year sentence

A federal jury convicted Maxwell on December 29, 2021, of offenses including sex trafficking of a minor and trafficking conspiracy. Judge Alison J. Nathan sentenced her to 240 months in prison on June 28, 2022, in Manhattan federal court.

Supervision of Sarah Kellen

The Second Circuit upheld the district court’s leadership sentencing enhancement in September 2024, including its finding that Maxwell supervised Sarah Kellen. The opinion cites the testimony of two pilots that Kellen was Maxwell’s assistant.

Full Profile and Subsequent Proceedings

Maxwell’s full profile includes her July 2025 DOJ interview, the transfer from Tallahassee to FPC Bryan, congressional inquiries and later evidence disclosures.
