Summary

This document is a page from a sentencing transcript for Ghislaine Maxwell. The judge is discussing sentencing factors, noting her age (over 60), lack of prior convictions, and the government's admission that she is not a continuing danger, while balancing this against her 'decade-long pattern of predatory activity.' The text also references mitigation arguments regarding her difficult family history (overbearing father, death of brother) and her charitable works and tutoring of inmates.

1 deterrence and just punishment as well. All of these factors
2 suggest that a very serious, a very significant sentence is

10 continuing danger to the public. As I explained, I do not need
11 to find she is a continuing danger to apply 4B1.5(b), as her
12 decade-long pattern of predatory activity amply justifies that
13 enhancement and a substantial sentence, but her present lack of
14 dangerousness is a factor in my consideration of a proper
15 sentence.
16 Her sentencing submission letters and psychological
17 report discuss the impacts of an overbearing and demanding
18 father and the tragic death of her brother at the beginning of
19 her life. The record indicates that she has engaged in some
