"Ghislaine Maxwell sexually exploited young girls for years. It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of her crimes and the harm she caused," they said in a court filing.
"The government urges the court to impose a sentence within the applicable guidelines range of 360 to 660 months' imprisonment." The prosecution's filing comes one week after Maxwell's lawyers argued that she should receive "well below" the 20-year sentence recommended by sentencing officials. The decision rests with Alison Nathan, the judge.
"Maxwell's conduct was shockingly predatory," prosecutors said in arguing for a lengthy sentence. "She was a calculating, sophisticated and dangerous criminal who preyed on vulnerable young girls and groomed them for sexual abuse."
