Ghislaine Maxwell is mounting a new legal bid to be moved out of solitary confinement, arguing that she is has being in “uniquely onerous conditions” in a notorious
New York jail. Ms Maxwell, 58, who is facing charges of sex trafficking of underage girls, says she wants to be moved in with other prisoners at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and is demanding greater access to computer facilities to help prepare her defence. Her lawyers also argue in the application, filed overnight in New York, that the prosecution must release to Maxwell the identities of the three victims in the indictments against her to allow her to conduct a proper defence ahead of her trial next July. Ms Maxwell, who was arrested in New Hampshire last month, has been held in the
prison since July 6 and has been denied bail.
