According to Ghislaine Maxwell and her attorneys, she deserves the same treatment that “wealthy men” like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby received, such as being released on bail while awaiting trial for sexual abuse charges.
Maxwell’s lawyers filed a motion with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, requesting for bail and that she be treated the same as “wealthy men.”
“The truth is that wealthy men charged with similar or more serious offenses, many of whom have foreign ties, are routinely granted bail so that they can effectively prepare for trial. Bernie Madoff. Harvey Weinstein. Bill Cosby. John Gotti. Marc Dreier. Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Ali Sadr. Adnan Khashoggi. Mahender Sabhnani. The list goes on and on,” said attorney David Oscar Markus.
“In each case, the court set reasonable conditions of bond and the defendants appeared, despite similar arguments by the government that the defendant faced serious charges or that the evidence was strong or that he had foreign ties or that he had great wealth. Ms. Maxwell is entitled to the same opportunity as male defendants to prepare her defense,” he continued.
New York Post reports:
Maxwell, 59, has been locked up for “over 280 days” in “nightmarish,” “jaw-droppingly appalling conditions” that are more “fitting for Hannibal Lecter” and she should be immediately released so she can adequately prepare for trial before she deteriorates beyond repair, her attorneys argue.
They claim guards wake her up every 15 minutes by shining lights “directly into her small cell” and subject her to the constant glare of neon lights and intrusive searches — “including having hands forced into her mouth in a squalid facility where COVID has run rampant.”
“These conditions would support a complaint for cruel and unusual punishment for a convicted felon. Ms. Maxwell is not one. She is innocent unless and until she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt — an event which is highly unlikely given the lack of evidence against her,” the motion said.
Lawyers for the disgraced British socialite, the daughter of a billionaire newspaper tycoon, also complained that the water at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn is “often cloudy and is not drinkable” and her food was microwaved with a plastic covering, rendering it “inedible.”
“She is on suicide watch for no reason. She continues to lose weight, her hair, and her ability to concentrate,” the motion states.
Here’s a thought, maybe people who abuse children shouldn’t get any kind of special treatment, eh? Toss her in the dungeon and throw away the key.

‘Captain Underpants’ Children’s Books Cancelled for ‘Passive Racism’
Just another day in the day and age of cancel culture! Today they are cancelling the children’s book series “Captain Underpants.” The books are being pulled from libraries and book shelves after its publishes declared it “perpetuates passive racism.”
I read those books when I was in middle school, and I truly do not remember anything in them that could even be close to racist. Then again, everything today is racist. Just the character wearing white underwear is probably “racist” to the left.
