Ghislaine Maxwell

Maxwell worked for her father, Robert Maxwell, until his death in 1991, after which she moved to New York City to continue her life as a socialite. She had a relationship with Epstein and founded the non-profit TerraMar Project for the protection of oceans in 2012. In July 2019, after prosecutors brought sex trafficking allegations against Epstein, the organisation ceased operations. Maxwell was arrested by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and charged by the US federal government in July 2020 with crimes including enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls, related to her association with Epstein as his recruiter. She was denied bail as a flight risk, with the judge expressing concerns over her "completely opaque" finances, her skill at living in hiding, and the fact that France does not extradite its citizens. In December 2021, she was convicted on five out of six counts, including one of sex trafficking of a minor, and was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment in the United States the following year.

Maxwell's social circle reportedly included many world leaders and celebrities, including Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (fka Prince Andrew, Duke of York), former US president Bill Clinton, businessman Bill Gates, model Naomi Campbell, actor Kevin Spacey, the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, actor Bruce Willis, and actress Cameron Diaz. She attended Chelsea Clinton's wedding to Marc Mezvinsky in Rhinebeck, New York, on July 31, 2010. Maxwell is of Czech-Jewish, French, and Ukrainian descent. She was portrayed by Anna Khachiyan in the 2020 horror/thriller "The Scary of Sixty-First", directed by Dasha Nekrasova. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and a slim build.
