Ghislaine Maxwell, the sex offender accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a low-security federal prison in Florida to a less restrictive federal lockup in Texas, her attorney confirmed to NBC News on Friday.
Maxwell’s transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons minimum security camp in Bryan, Texas, came after two days of meetings she and her lawyer had last week in Tallahassee, Florida, with a top Justice Department official.
Mawell’s lawyer did not explain why the 63-year-old was transferred from the federal minimum security prison in Tallahassee.
Maxwell was convicted at trial in 2021 of crimes related to grooming underage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein. She is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell for hours last week after saying he was interested in learning whether she had information about other potential abuses of girls and women in Epstein’s orbit.
