NEW YORK — Jeffery Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell has been put on suicide watch days before her sentencing on five criminal counts, including sex trafficking, according to her lawyer.
She is awaiting sentencing, ahead of Tuesday morning's hearing, at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Maxwell's lawyers told the court she is not suicidal and has been deemed so by outside psychologists. "Here, the Warden and Chief Psychologist assessed that the defendant is at heightened risk of self-harm, particularly given her upcoming sentencing and sex offender status. As a result, they are not comfortable placing the defendant in the SHU , but they also need to remove the defendant from general population to investigate the threat she reported to the IG," United States attorney Damian Williams wrote to the court Sunday.
