1 Year Ago Today; An Arrest in New England could Rock the World

As we hit the beginning of July in 2020 the country was mostly focused on the pandemic, the upcoming presidential election, and the country wide riots in response to the death of George Floyd. During that time, perhaps the most significant arrest in recent decades occurred in a small New Hampshire town.

On July 2, 2020 federal authorities arrested and detained Ghislaine Maxwell in Bradford, New Hampshire. Maxwell was arrested as a co-conspirator in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal. The name Jeffrey Epstein is widely known, but Maxwell's name had largely flown under the radar. Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein had an on and off relationship through the years. The circumstances surrounding Epstein's death in a high security federal prison has been questioned since he was announced dead in August of 2019.
