Judge denies bail for Ghislaine Maxwell after she pleads not guilty in Jeffrey Epstein sex crimes case

full disclosure; I didn't read this article but went and looked for one of many after listening to the live stream. her lawyer did his best. sounded for awhile as if they might get a multi-million dollar bail but in the end the government won out.

Tonight she'll sleep with women who have long histories of abuse and rape.

I find it interesting that the article calls her a "British socialite". She holds French citizenship.
Denying bail is the right call. If she fled to France it is likely that France would not extradite her just as they haven't extradited Roman Polanski for his accused pedophilia.
I also predict an Arkancide for her.

I can't think of a more fitting punishment.

I disagree with the judge in this case....

Even murderers get bail before a long trail....

I worked with a guy in my department for 15 years that killed his next door female neighbor. He shot her in her own front yard....She helped the shooters wife and child escape back to Mexico my co worker lost it and killed her....
This guy was on Dr. Phil and was from Houston....

This happened almost 3 years ago and he is still out on bond.....

From the OP...

Anecdotes do not pertain to the POSSIBILITY of flight, which is determined on a case by case basis...

I don't think she would take off, not with all of the modern tracking options available these days....

She appears to be extremely wealthy, she has French citizenship and if convicted could spend the rest of life in prison.
She's a high flight risk.
A few hundred dollars to get to Mexico then a few thousand dollars in bribes could get her to France.

First, it took months to find her in a location where she was well known...

Second, she has the wealth and wherewithal to leave through private means (She's well known as an international traveler.)..

Third, she's of French origin...France doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US (See Roman Polanski)...
