A New York judge on Tuesday denied Ghislaine Maxwell’s bail request and push for home confinement as she awaits trial on sex trafficking charges.
Judge Alison Nathan said the British socialite, accused of sexually abusing and exploiting young girls alongside Jeffrey Epstein, posed too great of a flight risk to be allowed to leave.
Maxwell appeared before Nathan via video from the Brooklyn, N.Y. federal detention center.
Prosecutors argued strongly against release and added that if given the opportunity, Maxwell would use her collection of international passports, access to private transportation and money to run.
