On Tuesday, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The judge said that a sentence of more than two years was enough.
Nathan spoke at the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
Over the course of many years, Ms. Maxwell was involved in a horrible scheme. Young victims who were vulnerable were selected by Ms. Maxwell.
The judge said that there was apivotal role played by Maxwell. The maximum amount that can be imposed is $750,000.
A jury found him guilty of sex trafficking, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy.
The prosecutors wanted a sentence of up to 55 years in prison.
Prosecutors wrote thatMaxwell's conduct was predatory. She was a dangerous criminal who preyed on vulnerable young girls and groomed them for sex.
The judge sentenced her to four to five years.
The judge heard impact statements from the victims before he handed down the sentence.
Virginia Giuffre's lawyer read a statement on her behalf in which she directly addressed the man.
The statement said that you deserved to spend the rest of your life in jail. You have a right to be in a cage.
Since her arrest at a New Hampshire estate in July 2020, she has been held in Brooklyn.
One month after he was indicted on federal sex-trafficking charges, he committed suicide.
She was given a chance to speak to the court and her victims.
She said 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 life. Today is about other things.
All the victims... I apologize for your pain.
