Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript of a sentencing hearing for Ms. Maxwell, filed on July 22, 2022. The judge discusses the factors influencing the sentence, acknowledging mitigating aspects such as Ms. Maxwell's age (over 60), lack of prior convictions, charitable work, and positive letters from family and a fellow inmate. However, the judge states that her 'decade-long pattern of predatory activity' justifies a substantial sentence, even if she is not considered a continuing danger to the public.

Quote #1
"As I explained, I do not need to find she is a continuing danger to apply 4B1.5(b), as her decade-long pattern of predatory activity amply justifies that enhancement and a substantial sentence, but her present lack of dangerousness is a factor in my consideration of a proper sentence."Source
— The presiding judge
(The judge is justifying the legal basis for a substantial sentence despite the government not contending that Ms. Maxwell is a continuing danger to the public.)

deterrence and just punishment as well. All of these factors
suggest that a very serious, a very significant sentence is
necessary to achieve the purposes of punishment that I have
just described.
Of course I must, and I do, take into account the
history and characteristics of the defendant. Ms. Maxwell is
over 60 years old. This is her first conviction. Neither in
arguing for pretrial detention nor with respect to sentencing
has the government contended that Ms. Maxwell represents a
continuing danger to the public. As I explained, I do not need
to find she is a continuing danger to apply 4B1.5(b), as her
decade-long pattern of predatory activity amply justifies that
enhancement and a substantial sentence, but her present lack of
dangerousness is a factor in my consideration of a proper
sentence.
Her sentencing submission letters and psychological
report discuss the impacts of an overbearing and demanding
father and the tragic death of her brother at the beginning of
her life. The record indicates that she has engaged in some
charitable works, including environmental conservation and
health-related charitable organizing and giving. The set of
letters I received from her family members and friends describe
her as attentive and loving to her family and a loyal and
generous friend. A letter from an inmate describes her
tutoring of other inmates while incarcerated and Ms. Sternheim
suggest that a very serious, a very significant sentence is
necessary to achieve the purposes of punishment that I have
just described.
