        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges she recruited and groomed girls for the financier to sexually abuse more than two decades ago.</p><p>The 58-year-old British socialite is charged with recruiting at least three girls, one as young as 14, in the mid 90s, and has been held without bail since her July 2 arrest.</p><p>She appeared in a video court hearing from the Metropolitian Detention Center Tuesday where a judge scheduled her trial to begin on July 12, 2021.</p><p>Maxwell helped groom the victims to endure, and was sometimes present for, Epstein’s sexual abuse, an indictment alleges. She also allegedly lied during a 2016 deposition in a civil case that arose from Epstein’s alleged abuse of girls and women.</p><p>Epstein killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges that alleged he abused girls at his Manhattan and Florida mansions in the early 2000s.</p><p>Lawyers for Maxwell requested that she be released on $5 million bond, but prosecutors, who called her an extreme flight risk, want her detained without bail, <strong>CNBC reported. </strong></p><p>Prosecutors say Maxwell has more than $10 million in assets, including at least $4 million in a Swiss bank account, <em>Miami Herald</em> reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/jkbjournalist/status/1283096776061394946" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Julie K. Brown reported</a>.</p><p>“Defendant has ‘significant and unexplained wealth.’’ And she has declined to provide a significant account of her finances,” Brown continued.</p><p>Prosecutors also expressed concern that one of the three countries where Maxwell holds citizenship is France, which does not extradite its own citizens on criminal charges.</p><p>“Ms. Maxwell vigorously denies the charges, intends to fight them, and is entitled to the presumption of innocence,” her lawyers, Mark Cohen and Jeffrey Pagliuca, wrote in a court filing last week.</p>]]></content:encoded>
