The brother of shamed former socialite and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was stopped from visiting her sister after flying 3,000 miles to New York because the jail was in lockdown due to an incident.
Ian Maxwell had arranged with prison authorities to visit his sister inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn when he was told he could not enter the facility.
The 60-year-old former girlfriend of paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein is currently in the jail awaiting sentencing later this month.
Maxwell, who is a close friend of Prince Andrew has only managed one visit by a family member since her arrest.
