A British woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Tuesday after being convicted of sex trafficking and grooming girls as young as 14 for a late financier.

The judge said that Maxwell displayed a lack of acceptance of responsibility and sentenced him to two decades in prison.
She faced up to 55 years in prison for the conviction, which included sex trafficking a minor and transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, though she was only sentenced for one of the conspiracy charges.
At least 30 years of imprisonment was requested by prosecutors.
She should not be sentenced as if she were a proxy for the man who died by suicide in a New York jail before he could face trial, according to a memo written by her lawyers.
After not testifying during the trial, she apologized to the court just before she was sentenced. She said that she was a victim of helping Jeffrey Epstein and that he should have been here before her. She maintained her innocence and pleaded not guilty.
Nathan allowed prosecutors to speak before he sentenced. "Maxwell was an adult woman and she made the choice, week in, week out, to commit crimes with Jeffrey Epstein to make his crimes possible," said federal prosecutor Alison Moe. According to Virginia Giuffre, who settled a sexual assault lawsuit against Prince Andrew related to Epstein, she believed that Maxwell understood the damage she was doing. Giuffre said in a statement that she could have stopped the rapes, the molestations, the sickening manipulations that she witnessed and even took part in. You deserve to be trapped in a cage for the rest of your life. Annie Farmer, who testified during the trial that she was exposed and groped during a nude massage when she was 16 years old, said she and other victims had been negatively affected by the abuse. The effects of trauma are inescapable.
In April of this year, a jury found her guilty of five of six charges against her, but she was acquitted of one count of trying to lure a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts. Four women testified at the trial that she aided and abettedEpstein. According to the legal team for Maxwell, her father's abusive treatment of her left her vulnerable to Epstein, who was able to exploit and control her. In closing arguments, prosecutors said that the two men were partners in crime and sexually exploited young girls together. Prosecutors said in court documents that she was put on suicide watch after she reported that jail staff were threatening her safety and that convicted sex offenders are more likely to harm themselves than other convicts. Since her arrest, she's objected to jail conditions.
