Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and confidante of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, is selling her London home to raise funds to pay for her legal defense, according to her family’s spokesman

.

Ms. Maxwell, the daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell, has been held without bail in a New York jail sincealleging she and Epstein groomed and abused girls as young as 14 years old between 1994 and 1997. She pleaded not guilty to all charges. U.S. prosecutors have opposed granting bail, arguing that she may flee the U.S.

The house is on Kinnerton Street in London’s upmarket Belgravia district. One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, alleges that she was brought there in 2001 as a 17-year-old and forced to have sex with the U.K.’s Prince Andrew. Prince Andrewand said in a 2019 BBC interview that a photo of him and Ms. Giuffre allegedly taken at the home might have been faked.

The sale of the property, a short walk from Hyde Park, will soon be completed, according to Brian Basham, a spokesman for the Maxwell family. He declined to name the buyer or the sale price. Homes in the area of different sizes have sold for between £2.6 million and £8 million in the past two years, the equivalent of $3.6 million to $11.2 million, according to property records.

The sale ran into complications with Ms. Maxwell’s bank, Barclays PLC. The bank closed her account in February, the day after lawyers deposited £130,000, an initial payment from the buyer.
