Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison for helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.
In addition to prison time, Maxwell was also sentenced to five years of supervised release and fined $750,000.
The 60-year-old British socialite was convicted back in December of five federal sex trafficking for recruiting and grooming four girls to have sexual encounters with Epstein between 1994 and 2004.
The sentencing marks the closing of a trial that explored the predatory behavior of the power couple who associated themselves with the rich and elite as they lured teenage girls and then sexually exploited them.
Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, sexually abuse teenage girls for over more than a decade with the help of Maxwell, his longtime partner, according to prosecutors.
