A judge has ordered the government to explain why guards repeatedly flashed light into Ghislaine Maxwell’s cell overnight, an action her lawyers say may have led to a bruise over one eye as she awaits trial in an alleged sex trafficking conspiracy with ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.
Judge Alison J. Nathan issued the order after a lawyer for Maxwell complained guards threatened to punish her client after Maxwell was unable to explain a bruise above one eye that was noticed on Wednesday night when she saw her reflection in a nail clipper.
The lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, said the 59-year-old Maxwell may have received the bruise as she tries to shield her eyes from the light that awakens her every 15 minutes as guards make sure she's breathing.
