Epstein ‘pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell denied bail AGAIN as she’s deemed ‘flight risk’ by judge

GHISLAINE Maxwell has been denied bail by a federal judge for the second time this year.

Maxwell, who is accused of grooming underage girls to be sexually abused by paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, had her application for bail rejected because she poses a “flight risk”, it was revealed on Monday.

Maxwell, who is being held in a Brooklyn federal jail, has pleaded not guilty in the case.

She has also been charged with perjury for allegedly lying during a deposition for a lawsuit filed by an Epstein accuser.

Judge Alison Nathan ruled the British socialite posed “a serious flight risk”.

The judge considered Maxwell’s wealth, possession of citizenship in multiple countries and the severity of the charges she faces.

They were the same reasons considered by Judge Nathan when Maxwell applied for bail back in July.

“The Court … finds that the Defendant’s proposed bail conditions would not reasonably assure her appearance at future proceedings,” Nathan said in her ruling in Manhattan federal court.

The socialite, who celebrated her 59th birthday behind bars on Christmas Day, asked to be released on a bond of $22.5 million offered up by her spouse of four years Scott Borgerson.

She apparently had further millions pledged by seven relatives and friends, according to a report by CNBC.

She also proposed having armed guards ensure that she remained confined to a New York City residence – and be monitored at all times via an electronic tagging device.

One alleged victim has branded Maxwell a “psychopath” who will flee justice if granted bail, The Times reports.

Maxwell is accused of sexually assaulting 16-year-old Annie Farmer at Epstein’s 7,500-acre ranch in New Mexico.

Ms Farmer, who has waived her right to anonymity, alleged: “She (Maxwell) has lived a life of privilege, abusing her position of power to live beyond the rules.

“She will not hesitate to leave the country irrespective of whether others will be on the hook financially for her actions because she lacks empathy and, therefore, simply does not care about hurting others.

“I believe that she is a psychopath,” the 41-year-old alleged.

Maxwell is due to stand trial next year.
