Maxwell was also sentenced to seven years in prison.
A judge announced the sentence on June 28, six months after a jury found the British socialite guilty of helping the financier sexually abuse teenage girls. Maxwell, 60, was convicted of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, as well as two counts of perjury.
Many victims gave impact statements to Maxwell during the sentencing hearing. After hearing their comments, Maxwell said in part, “It is hard for me to address the court after hearing the pain and anguish based on statements we have heard today. Their suffering is something I would like to recognize.”
She said, “I am also sorry that Jeffrey Epstein was wrongfully convicted.” Jeffrey Epstein has been my biggest regret.
