Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced British socialite convicted of recruiting and grooming young girls to be sexually abused by the late US financier Jeffrey Epstein, will be sentenced in June, a US judge said Friday, IgbereTV reports.
“The Court hereby schedules the sentencing in this matter for June 28, 2022, at 11:00 am,” a court document signed by New York District judge Alison Nathan said.
