As Jeffrey Epstein’s most notorious accomplice and former girlfriend is angling to have her criminal conviction dropped, a look at Ghislaine Maxwell’s life behind bars could offer clues about her motivations outside of prison. 

Maxwell has reportedly rebranded herself while serving out her two-decades-long sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s sex crimes. 

“I did a double take, because I recognized her face immediately from the news,” Jessica Watkins, a former Oath Keeper who was imprisoned in the same low-security Florida facility as Maxwell, told the Daily Mail. “I was like, ‘Is that who I think it is?’”

Federal prosecutors have argued the deal only applied in Florida, ultimately ruling out Maxwell’s case in New York. 

“No one is above the law — not even the Southern District of New York,” Markus said in a statement. “Our government made a deal, and it must honor it. The United States cannot promise immunity with one hand in Florida and prosecute with the other in New York.” 

Markus went on to appeal to Trump, who has previously said he has the power to pardon Maxwell but has “not thought about” doing so.  

“President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal—and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word, it must stand by it,” Markus said. “We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted.”

The DOJ did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s scheme to sexually abuse numerous young girls. She is anticipated to testify under oath on Aug. 11 at or near the federal prison she is currently serving her sentence in. 

“Jeffrey Epstein could not do what he did without Ghislaine Maxwell,” Aronberg said. “She’s no victim. She is the devil’s accomplice.”
