Ms Maxwell, seen here in 2016, has actually rejected all the allegations against her.

E-mails in between UK socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and the late United States sex wrongdoer Jeffrey Epstein have actually been revealed in a trove of unsealed court files.

Epstein informs Ms Maxwell she has done “nothing wrong” in the 2015 exchange, which appears to oppose her earlier claims of not having actually called him.

She remains in custody in New york city, charged with trafficking minors for Epstein and perjury. She could face up to 35 years in jail if founded guilty.

Epstein passed away in prison on 10 August 2019 as he awaited his trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was determined to be suicide.

There is also an e-mail exchange in between Ms Maxwell and Epstein from 2015, which demonstrates how concerned she was about possible fallout from the case.
