Newser reports Ghislaine Maxwell wants out of prison so badly that she's willing to put up all of her assets to make that happen. The daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell is accused of grooming underage girls for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The 58-year-old has asked to be released from confinement, claiming she's 'not the person the media has portrayed her to be.' To convince a judge to allow her release from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on house arrest, she's proposed a $28.5 million bail package. She wants nothing more than to remain in this country to fight the allegations against her, which are based on the uncorroborated testimony of a handful of witnesses. Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell Newser reports prosecutors have until Wednesday to respond.
The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has nabbed fashion tycoon Peter Nygard. Nygard, 79, is accused of decades of criminal conduct, involving at least dozens of victims in the US, the Bahamas, and Canada. Prosecutors say he recruited and maintained 'adult and minor-aged female victims' for the sexual gratification of him and his friends over a 25-year period. Newser reports Nygard has been indicted on crimes including racketeering and sex trafficking. Accused of sexual misconduct by at least 50 women, Nygard's New York office was raided in February by a joint FBI-NYPD child-exploitation task force.
Newser reports the charges against disgraced Hollywood mogul and sex offender Harvey Weinstein continue to pile up. Los Angeles Country prosecutors say Weinstein was charged Friday with the rape of two more women. The district attorney's office says the charges include three counts of rape and three counts of forcible oral copulation involving the two women. Tallied up, Weinstein is now charged with 11 felony counts in Los Angeles County, involving five women. The 68-year-old is serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York on convictions for rape and sexual assault against two women.
