Ghislaine Maxwell, accused of grooming girls for Jeffrey Epstein, arrested by FBI, charged with conspiring to entice minors | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of acting as a pimp for deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested. She was charged by the FBI in relation to the late financier’s alleged sex-trafficking operation. | |
Maxwell was arrested in Bedford, New Hampshire, on Thursday morning, according to law enforcement sources that spoke with the media. She is expected to appear in the federal court on Thursday to face charges of perjury and conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse children. | |
Epstein was found dead in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. | |
Maxwell's arrest was confirmed by the FBI shortly after media outlets reported on the story, citing law enforcement sources. | Maxwell's arrest was confirmed by the FBI shortly after media outlets reported on the story, citing law enforcement sources. |

Maxwell allegedly groomed the teenage girls who were sexually abused by Epstein and others. She has remained largely out of the public eye since August, after Epstein allegedly killed himself in prison.

Her disappearance in the summer of 2019 led to a flurry of speculation about where she could be holed up. A photograph leaked to the press appeared to show her at an In-N-Out Burger fast-food restaurant in Los Angeles in late August. | |
One of Epstein’s best-known accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, filed a lawsuit against Maxwell in 2015. Giuffre has been pressing to have the court filings of the now-settled case unsealed, a move that Maxwell has vigorously opposed. | |
