Maxwell’s accusers weighed in during her bail hearing, with one Jane Doe insisting “If she [Maxwell] is out, I need to be protected,” adding “Her sole purpose is that of self-preservation.”
Another accuser, Annie Farmer, pushed for no bail, claiming that Ghislaine is a “sexual predator” who never showed any remorse.

Instead, he argued that Maxwell should be released with strict conditions, adding that she’s not Epstein, “she’s not the monster” she’s made out to be.
Her defense has argued that she serve her pretrial detention in a luxury hotel in Manhattan.
