In her June 2022 sentencing memorandum, Ghislaine Maxwell requested a significant reduction from the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range of 292 to 365 months, as well as from the 240-month sentence recommended by the Probation Department. Her defense argued that her association with Jeffrey Epstein, which occurred decades prior, led to her current legal situation. They emphasized that Maxwell had not faced any accusations before her involvement with Epstein or in the 20 years following the conduct in question.
Maxwell's attorneys also highlighted her challenging upbringing, particularly her relationship with her father, the late British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, who they described as abusive. They suggested that this background made her susceptible to Epstein's influence. Additionally, the defense pointed to the harsh conditions of her pre-trial confinement, including being placed on suicide watch, as factors warranting a lighter sentence. They contended that these conditions were unusually severe and should be considered in mitigation.
