Following Jeffrey Epstein’s prison suicide, Ghislaine Maxwell is likely to be under 24-hour surveillance to ensure she lives to face trial.

London - Ghislaine Maxwell will appear in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday under a "protective order" to keep parts of her case secret.

The measures will cover alleged victims of Maxwell, who is said to have acted as Epstein’s "madam", luring schoolgirls into his clutches. Maxwell will use Friday’s court appearance to ask a judge to free her on bail while awaiting trial. She is also likely to be asked if she wishes to plead guilty or not guilty to six counts, including that she trafficked three underage girls for sex, groomed them for abuse and then lied to cover her tracks.

She is now at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, which one former warden described as "one of the most troubled, if not the most troubled facility" in the US.
