They allege that Maxwell recruited, groomed, and paid a 14-year old girl to engage in sex acts with Epstein, the serial sexual predator who killed himself in police custody in 2019. Prosecutors also allege that Maxwell and Epstein asked the girl to recommend other young women who would be willing to perform erotic massages for money.

New indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell adds charges of sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor between 2001-2004, based on alleged conduct in Palm Beach. Prosecutors say Maxwell and Epstein asked victim, just 14, to recruit other minors who were paid for sex acts.
