Ghislaine Maxwell goes for stroll at new minimum-security prison as former townhouse hits market

Ghislaine Maxwell poked her head out from under a black umbrella on her way to “work” at Texas’s “Club Fed” prison camp Saturday, before she returned at lunchtime carrying folders and headphones in a clear backpack, according to the first photos to show her in the new facility after she transferred from Florida earlier this year. 

Wearing gray sweats and Nike sneakers, with what appears to be a prison tablet hanging from her neck, Maxwell and an unidentified woman were seen strolling through a prison yard, passing a sign post emblazoned with the words, “open-mindedness,” “honesty,” and “willingness.”

Maxwell is the only person found criminally or civilly liable for playing a role in the sex trafficking operation of Jeffrey Epstein, her former lover and employer who died in 2019 while awaiting his own trial.

It’s most recent owner, the late Manhattan real estate mogul Frederick Rudd, bought it from Maxwell for $15 million back in 2016, before her legal troubles landed her in prison, according to the paper.  He died last year.

Maxwell reportedly received the home — which is located on an exclusive Manhattan street two blocks east of Central Park — for free from one of Epstein’s attorneys back in 2000.

Maxwell, 62, is serving 20 years for her role in trafficking girls for Epstein. She is appealing her 2022 sentence and maintains her innocence.

In her interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blance, she denied having trafficked anyone or having witnessed any nonconsensual sexual activity or any sex involving minors.

She said she never witnessed President Donald Trump doing anything “inappropriate with anybody.” She shot down claims that former President Bill Clinton had traveled to Epstein’s infamous island in the U.S. Virgin Islands and said the Clintons were her friends, not Epstein’s.

“I do believe that Epstein did a lot of, not all, but some of what he’s accused of, and I’m not here to defend him in any respect whatsoever,” Maxwell told Blanche. “I don’t want to, and I don’t think he requires, nor deserves any type of protection or – from me in any way, to sugarcoat what he did or didn’t do.”

Authorities published hundreds of pages of transcripts as well as audio recordings of the interview on the DOJ website. The terms of the interview granted her limited immunity from further prosecution unless she told lies.

Maxwell denied Epstein had a “client list” and said he did not maintain a stockpile of blackmail material against prominent associates.
