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.

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.
