U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan “refused to let Maxwell escape culpability, making clear that Maxwell was being punished for her own actions, not Epstein’s. She called the crimes ‘heinous and predatory’ and said Maxwell as a sophisticated adult woman provided the veneer of safety as she ‘normalized’ sexual abuse through her involvement, encouragement and instruction.” Ghislaine Maxwell sentenced to 20 years for helping Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein himself got off too easy. The same is true for the pathetic, “powerful,” men, who committed statutory rape and kept coming back for more.
