SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 9 – Ghislaine Maxwell, charged with sex trafficking and other charges, faces a November 29, 2021 trial.
Docketed on November 9 is Judge Alison J. Nathan's order again denying bail, but directing that Maxwell be transported humanely to court each morning: "ORDER as to Ghislaine Maxwell: The Court is in receipt of the Defendant's motion for reconsideration regarding release on bond, Dkt. No. 408, and the parties' letters regarding the delivery of the Defendant's legal mail and transport to the courthouse for pretrial conferences and trial in this case, Dkt. Nos. 381, 403, 422. For the reasons stated in this Court's prior bail determinations, Dkt. Nos. 93, 106, 169, and the Government's letter in opposition, Dkt. No. 423, the renewed request for bail is denied. Moreover, based on the representations from MDC legal counsel regarding the delivery of the Defendant's legal mail, Dkt. No. 422, the Court concludes that the Defendant has adequate access to legal counsel and legal mail in order to prepare for trial. MDC legal counsel and the Government are ordered to take the steps outlined in the Dkt. No. 422 between now and the completion of trial. As to the Defendant's transport, the Court concludes that she will be transported to and from the courthouse for pretrial conferences and trial in a way that is humane, proper, and consistent with security protocols. This conclusion is based on representations from MDC legal counsel in the letter submitted under seal because it discusses BOP security protocols, see Dkt. No. 412, as well as the Court's communication with the United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York."
On October 29, Maxwell and the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed a flurry of motions in limine, heavily redacted; the Government argued that trial exhibits are not public and will be withheld.
