Federal authorities arrested Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime confidant of Jeffrey Epstein, on Thursday in New Hampshire in connection with the late, accused sex trafficker, senior law enforcement officials said.
She was taken into custody at about 8:30 a.m. in Bedford. Maxwell was charged with six counts for acts committed between 1994 and 1997 — four related to allegedly helping transport minors for sexual activity and two for perjury, according to the criminal complaint.
Multiple young women have accused Maxwell, 58, the youngest daughter of the late British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, of complicity in Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring.
