Ghislaine Maxwell court sketch

Between 1994 and 2004, he was accused of soliciting and grooming young people for sex crimes.

Four women testified during her trial that Epstein sexually abused them when they were all under the age of 18.

Some of the victims spoke at the sentencing. Annie Farmer said thatMaxwell had many opportunities to come clean, but instead continued to make choices that caused more harm.

He apologized to the victims. She said that it was difficult for her to address the court after listening to the statements made today. The impact on the lives of so many women is hard to hear and even harder to comprehend.

Jeffrey Epstein was a cunning and controlling man who fooled everyone in his circle. He should have been here before everyone. He should have stood before you in 2005. Today it's not about Jeffrey Epstein at all. To all the people who have been hurt. I apologize for your pain.

Prosecutors wanted to sentence him to between 30 and 55 years in prison.
