This document is a letter of support for Ghislaine Maxwell, likely submitted for a bail application in her federal case.

Page 2 - Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
In 2017 I lived with Ghislaine and her family for a few weeks, helping move them into their house. Her [REDACTED] Spouse, [REDACTED] It is very obvious that they love her deeply. They are an incredibly strong and close family unit.
Ghislaine has lived in the United States since the beginning of the 1990s and has had to deal with fluctuating amounts of press interest in her life. This was notwithstanding her huge and understandable mistrust of the media which started with the fall-out from the sudden death of her Father and has continued to this day. Despite the tremendous ramping of press interest in her following the death of Jeffrey Epstein in August 2019 Ghislaine remained living in the States. This was primarily so that she could be with her family but also to ensure she was available to deal with any civil or even criminal allegations arising from her past connection to Epstein should these arise. When the press intrusion became too intense, she removed herself from the family home to protect her Spouse [REDACTED]. Any reports to the effect Ghislaine took that decision to evade law enforcement are as far from the truth as they are offensive.
My husband and I experienced first-hand what it felt like to be on the receiving end of such relentless press intrusion in our own lives in the UK. We had to leave our home for a week because the press presence was so aggressive and so constant: we had phone calls, emails, letters, visits - and everyone in our village was spoken to. Even my parents and children were harassed. [REDACTED] Ghislaine's house in London and today still there are journalists knocking on the door and filming the house. Ghislaine was terrified of being found by the press, or by deranged individuals and conspiracy theorists who threatened to harm her. A UK newspaper (The Sun) put up a bounty for information leading to her discovery. She had to isolate herself to protect her family and friends as much as herself. I spent a couple of days and nights with her in October 2019 - we went for a walk and I directly experienced for myself the pressure and fear she was living under. Any car or person that went by the house, or any unusual sounds she heard when we were in the house, she thought the press or bounty hunters might have found her. She was genuinely terrified for her safety and this ended up making me feel terrified too.
Ghislaine has always met problems head on and has never been afraid of the truth. I have personally witnessed this at many points in her life when she has had to pick herself up and rise to the challenge in front of her. Ghislaine has been a constant and very important part of my life [REDACTED] and I have no doubt - particularly if she is permitted properly to prepare her defence in a non-custodial environment conducive to that end (the primary rationale for her renewed bail application) - that she will attend her trial to fight these heinous charges and to clear her name.
Respectfully
[REDACTED]
