Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred from a federal prison in Florida where she was serving her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking as an associate of Jeffrey Epstein to a lower-security facility in Texas, the US Bureau of Prisons said on Friday.
“We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” a spokesperson said.
An attorney for Maxwell, David Oscar Markus, also confirmed the move but declined further comment.
Maxwell’s move from FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison, to the federal prison camp in Bryan comes a week after she met with deputy US attorney general Todd Blanche twice in person, in Florida, after he said he wanted to speak with her about anyone else who may have been involved in Epstein’s crimes of trafficking underage girls.
