Ghislaine Maxwell is seeking to block four women who say they were victims of her and Jeffrey Epstein from speaking at her sentencing next week for sex-trafficking.
Maxwell, who is to be sentenced on June 28, asked US Circuit Judge Alison Nathan in a letter Friday not to accept victim impact statements from three women because they were not minors at the time they alleged they were sexually abused. She also asked that a fourth woman not be considered because her age wasn’t known at the time she says she was abused.
