Who is Ghislaine Maxwell? How does she link Jeffrey Epstein to Prince Andrew?

When convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in an apparent suicide in his jail cell in August, authorities were forced to shift their focus onto his alleged accomplices.

For decades, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was one of the disgraced financier’s closest confidantes. And his alleged victims have accused her of being deeply involved in Epstein’s criminal activities.

Multiple women have accused her of being Epstein’s “primary co-conspirator” and “madame” whose job it was to recruit young women into his orbit.

Today, the 57-year-old was arrested and charged by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in New Hampshire.
