I will keep an eye on it.

I have lost the thread we had when the trial was on, I will try searching for it as it had lots of information.

Drywhitefruitycidergin · 28/06/2022 18:39

Interested in outcome. Tbh surprised she's still alive to attend.

TankFlyBoss · 28/06/2022 18:41

@DuncinToffee that would be great. I looked for a recent thread but couldn't find one

She will get a long sentence and will probably die in prison. The Americans don't mess about.

DuncinToffee · 28/06/2022 18:51

According to the Inde just now the Judge has stated sentencing will fall between 188-235 months... So approx 15-19 yrs.
Guess she could die in prison, but its a lot less than the 65 yrs the prosecution were asking for...

Inde report

She’s foreign, posh, entitled, arrogant and her boyfriend Epstein died before he could face justice. They will throw the book at her.

Florenz · 28/06/2022 19:07

IMO she should get at least 50 years.

QuebecBagnet · 28/06/2022 19:10

Even if she only gets 16 years she’s probably going to die inside

NeutralNinja · 28/06/2022 19:11

She deserves what she gets, and then some.

That said, it's still troubling that despite everything that went on, Epstein, Andrew, all the men who were involved, it's a woman who's getting sentenced and locked up.

Drunkandalone · 28/06/2022 19:13

Absolutely keeping up with it. She needs to be sent down but so do the rest of the men she was procuring for... and I don’t just mean Andy.

kieronsmum · 28/06/2022 19:22

does not matter what sentence she gets she will be dead soon JE style

guinnessguzzler · 28/06/2022 19:26

Yes, following now, thanks.

purplecorkheart · 28/06/2022 19:33

20 years. I honestly thought that she would get more.

TankFlyBoss · 28/06/2022 19:35

So glad it wasn't lower

KittenKong · 28/06/2022 19:37

Has anyone else been arrested as a result of the whole Epstein thing? There must have been loads of men involved (women too I suppose). So why is she the only one looking at jail time?

friskybivalves · 28/06/2022 19:37

That's above recommended sentencing guidelines.

Ylvamoon · 28/06/2022 19:39

I hope she isn't released early on something stupid like medical grounds.

NeutralNinja · 28/06/2022 19:40

20 years. I'm also glad it's not less.

I cannot get past the fact that she's (deservedly) doing 20 years for procuring girls to be abused, but the men who carried out the abuse are free as birds.

Did she try to cut any deals to get some of them convicted? I should have followed in more detail.

guinnessguzzler · 28/06/2022 19:42

I wonder if she will serve it all?

Drunkandalone · 28/06/2022 19:49

She’ll make it out alive she’s only 60

DuncinToffee · 28/06/2022 19:51

Maxwell herself addressed the court before her sentence was announced, apologizing to the victims "for the pain you have experienced" and saying she hopes her "conviction and harsh incarceration brings you peace and finality."

That won't happen again I don't think

20 years, yes.

She is, of course, appealing.

Inner City Press, live report from the sentencing

DuncinToffee · 28/06/2022 19:59

Judge Nathan: That is 20 years. Then five years of supervised release. I impose a fine of $750,000. She has received a $10 million bequest from Epstein.
