Bail? No Way!
Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, has applied for bail. She eluded justice previously when Epstein bought her a deal. (Acosta case)
Epstein died in prison. The judge still encouraged the victims' testimonies, and I've extracted some quotes below showing the long term damage done by the man. Maxwell is known to have recruited his victims.
She cannot be allowed out of prison on bail. After the Epstein case, and his subsequent death in prison, she went into hiding. She paid for a New Hampshire hideaway in cash. A list of rich, famous, powerful people as long as your arm want to stop testifying.
She has the resources and reasons to vanish or 'be vanished'. For justice to be done she needs to be in prison where her location is known, and kept alive to testify, for the sake of all of her victims.
"An open letter to Judge Alison J Nathan, No Bail for Ghislaine Maxwell", has been set up as a petition on Change.org - I encourage you to sign it.

"We will always carry irreparable damage and pain throughout our lives after this. It's something that's never going to go away. Whoever we marry in our life, whatever future we have in our life, it's always going to be something that's always there for us."

"Something I think is very important to communicate is that loss of innocence, trust, and joy that is not recoverable. The abuse, spanning several years, was devaluing beyond measure and affected my ability to form and maintain healthy relationships, both in my work and my personal life. He could not begin to fathom what he took from us."

"He robbed me of my dreams. He robbed me of my chance to pursue a career I always adored. He stole my chance at really feeling love because I was so scared to trust anyone for so many years that I had such severe anxiety. I didn't want to leave my house, let alone my bed."
Jennifer Araoz, (Extracted from ‘23 Women Stood In Court And Said Jeffrey Epstein Abused Them. Here Are Their Most Powerful Quotes’, by Julia Reinstein for Buzzfeed)
"I'm still a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. I'm still a victim because the fear of not being heard stopped me from telling my story for so many years... I'm still a victim because I am fearful for my daughters and everyone's daughters... I'm still a victim because the 17-year-old Teala was manipulated into thinking she had found someone who cared, someone who wanted to help."
Teala Davies, (Extracted from ‘23 Women Stood In Court And Said Jeffrey Epstein Abused Them. Here Are Their Most Powerful Quotes’, by Julia Reinstein for Buzzfeed)
"His actions placed me, a young girl, into a downward spiral to the point where I purchased a gun and drove myself to an isolated place to end my suffering."
