A federal judge on Monday rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s latest bail request, saying the defendant is a flight risk because of her “substantial international ties.”

Maxwell, the ex-girlfriend of the late convicted sex offender and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, had offered to renounce her French and British citizenship in addition to having her and her spouse’s assets placed in an account that would be monitored by a federal judge.
