Longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was denied bail on Monday, with a judge saying there would be a risk of her fleeing the country if she were released.

“The court concludes that the government has met its burden of persuasion that the defendant poses a flight risk and that pretrial detention continues to be warranted,” District Judge Alison Nathan, an Obama nominee, wrote in an order.
