The request from her defence lawyers comes week after her conviction on sexual abuse charges.

Maxwell was found guilty on five of the six counts she faced - including the most serious charge, that of sex trafficking a minor.

Her jail term will be decided by US District Judge Alison Nathan, who has not yet set a sentencing date. For the moment, Judge Nathan will be waiting to receive a pre-sentence report. This will be compiled by an impartial investigator who will look into things like Maxwell's background, family, education and employment history to determine if any of these should influence the severity or leniency of the sentence.
