Socialite was convicted in December of five counts for bringing teenage girls to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein

, for him to sexually abuse. Maxwell was found guilty on one count of sex-trafficking, one count of transportation of an individual under the age of 17 with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity, and three conspiracy counts.

Nathan agreed that the three conspiracy counts were “multiplicitous”, meaning that “they all charge the same offense”. Under the US constitution’s “double jeopardy” clause, Nathan is prohibited “from imposing multiple punishments for the same offense”. “This legal conclusion in no way calls into question the factual findings made by the jury,” Nathan said, in explaining her decision. “Rather, it underscores that the jury unanimously found – three times over – that the Defendant is guilty of conspiring with Epstein to entice, transport, and traffic underage girls for sexual abuse.”

Epstein, a convicted sex offender who once counted Prince Andrew among his rich and famous associates, was arrested in July 2019 on sex trafficking charges. Epstein killed himself about one month later in a New York City federal jail.
