Briton’s lawyers say she should be protected by financier’s 2008 agreement
Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite charged with recruiting teenage girls for US financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse in the 1990s, has asked a judge to dismiss the case on multiple grounds, including that a deal years ago not to prosecute Epstein and others should shield her from prosecution.
Lawyers Maxwell said the indictment against their client was obtained unjustly and does not allege crimes specific enough to bring before a jury.
