U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan in Manhattan made the observation while explaining her reasons for denying bail earlier this week for Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Epstein, the wealthy financier and convicted sex offender. Defense lawyers recently asked for bail again, saying Maxwell has pledged her $22.5 million in assets plus millions more from friends and family. The judge noted the charges carry a presumption of detention before trial and could result in a long prison term. “But by and large, the arguments presented either were made at the initial bail hearing or could have been made then," Nathan wrote. She noted that Maxwell wasn't living with him in July and claimed they were getting divorced.

Maxwell's first attempt to get out on bail, shortly after her arrest, was rejected.

"Ms. Maxwell vehemently maintains her innocence and is committed to defending herself," the lawyers wrote.
