Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and heiress who became a confidante of disgraced financier
Jeffrey Epstein and was later accused of involvement in his alleged sexual crimes, has been arrested
by the FBI, two senior law enforcement sources tell News 4 New York.
She was arrested on the East Coast on Epstein-related charges and is expected to
appear in a federal court later today, the sources say.
Spokespeople for the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan declined to
comment.
The daughter of media baron Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine was a one-time girlfriend of Epstein's and
was at the high-flying investor's side for decades.
But she was also alleged to have helped Epstein groom teen girls for sex with the rich
and powerful. One of those teens, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, leveled that charge against
Maxwell in a 2015 defamation suit.
Epstein, a registered sex offender, was arrested last summer on new federal charges of
exploiting dozens of underage girls in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.

He attempted suicide in custody in late July, and then ed
di after another suicide attempt
in early August. Two of the guards tasked with monitoring Epstein now face federal
charges for not properly supervising him before his death.
One day before his suicide, a federal appeals court released the transcript of a 2016
deposition in which Epstein repeatedly refused to say whether Maxwell had procured
young girls for him.
Maxwell has stayed below the radar since Epstein's death, as speculation swirled about
whether she could face repercussions for her friend's alleged abuses.
