Maxwell, 60, was a longtime associate of Epstein, who died in 2019 just weeks after being indicted
Ghislaine Maxwell, the jet-setting British socialite who once consorted with royals, presidents and billionaires, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday for helping the financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.
The stiff sentence was the punctuation mark on a trial that explored the sordid rituals of a predator power couple who courted the rich and famous as they lured vulnerable girls as young as 14, and then exploited them.
Prosecutors said Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial, sexually abused children hundreds of times, over more than a decade, and couldn't have done so without the help of Maxwell, his longtime companion and one-time girlfriend who they said sometimes also participated in the abuse.
In December, a New York federal court jury convicted Maxwell of sex trafficking, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts and two conspiracy charges.
U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan, who also imposed a $750,000 US fine, said "a very significant sentence is necessary" and that she wanted to send an "unmistakable message" that these kinds of crimes would be punished.
Prosecutors had asked the judge to give her 30 to 55 years in prison, while the 60-year-old Maxwell's defence sought a lenient sentence of just five years.

TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is defending his decision to name his nephew minister of citizenship and multiculturalism.
Ford was asked about the appointment today in his first news conference since he introduced his new, 30-person cabinet last week.
The premier says his nephew Michael Ford has “extensive experience,” having previously served on Toronto city council and as a school trustee.

Currently, a single person with disabilities on ODSP receives $1,169 per month, which is supposed to cover food, rent and all essentials. That’s about 30 per cent below the poverty line.
As Premier Doug Ford prepares to unveil his new cabinet, there are renewed calls for the government to raise Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) rates higher than what had been promised during the election campaign.
Currently, a single person with disabilities on ODSP receives $1,169 per month, which is supposed to cover food, rent and all essentials. That’s about 30 per cent below the poverty line.
Darrell MacDonald, an ODSP recipient, tells CityNews the only way he’s been able to survive is through the use of food banks.
During the last election campaign, the Green Party and the NDP promised to double the rates while the Liberals said they would increase it by 20 per cent.
In April, Ford said he had been there to support those unable to work for the last four years.
“For the people who are unable to work for any reason, mentally or physically I will always be there for them,” he said. “The best way to help someone who can work is to get them a job.”
Initially, the Conservatives were not going to raise ODSP rates but then promised a five per cent increase which amounts to $58 a month extra. The payment includes just under $500 a month for rent. Ford also promised to introduce legislation that would tie annual increases to inflation.
