Convicted Ghislaine Maxwell seeks sentencing delayed

Right now, Ghislaine Maxwell will be moved from her previous holding cell amid reports that her safety has been threatened. Ghislaine has since requested to delay her sentencing. But, this has been denied as prosecutors believe she is able to get enough sleep and has her court documents.

Thus far, prosecutors believe that Ghislaine Maxwell should receive no less than 30 to 50 years in prison for her convicted sex crimes. 

Previously, prosecutors shared that Ghislaine groomed young girls. Right before his sentencing, Epstein committed suicide in his holding cell in 2019. 

To date, Ghislaine does not feel that she deserves more than 20 years. Thus far, Maxwell wants her sentencing to be delayed but prosectors feel there is no need for this.
