Ghislaine Maxwell’s Family Criticizes AG Garland Over ‘Unnecessary Trauma’ During Trial

Ghislaine Maxwell’s family on Monday complained about how she’s being treated during her federal sex-trafficking trial, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to intervene “in the interest of justice and common humanity.”
Relatives of the British socialite — who is charged with helping late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein abuse underage girls — asked that authorities stop using four-point restraints to shackle her hands, waist and feet when she’s shuttled from a holding cell to the courtroom in Lower Manhattan.
The shackles cause bruising, broken skin and other “unnecessary trauma,” the family claimed.
