Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, said she should be granted bail while awaiting trial.

The 58-year-old British socialite filed a request for bail of $5 million in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Friday, a week after she was arrested by the FBI in New Hampshire, saying she “vigorously denies the charges, intends to fight them, and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.”
