Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a minimum-security prison camp, authorities say
Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas, officials have said. is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of helping traffic and sexually abuse underage girls in 2021. She was being held at a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, that housed men and women. The federal Bureau of Prisons said on Friday that Maxwell has been transferred to a prison camp in Bryan, Texas, but did not explain the circumstances. Her lawyer confirmed the move but also declined to discuss the reasons for it. The Texas camp houses solely female prisoners, the majority of whom are serving time for nonviolent offences and white-collar crimes, Sky's US partner NBC News reports. Minimum-security federal prison camps house inmates considered to be the lowest security risk and some facilities do not even have fences. A senior administration official told NBC: "Any false assertion this individual was given preferential treatment is absurd. "Prisoners are routinely moved in some instances due to significant safety and danger concerns." Maxwell has received renewed attention in recent weeks, after the US Justice Department said it would not be releasing the so-called 'Epstein files'. The department said a review of the Epstein case had found "no incriminating 'client list'" and "no credible evidence" the jailed financier - who killed himself in prison in 2019 - had blackmailed famous men. Read more: Officials from the Trump administration have since tried to cast themselves as promoting transparency in the case. Last month, they lodged a request to unseal grand jury transcripts - - and Maxwell was last week by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Epstein survivor's family criticises move Maxwell's move to a lower security facility has been criticised by the family of Epstein abuse survivor Virginia Giuffre, who , and accusers Annie and Maria Farmer. They said in a statement: "It is with horror and outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has received. "Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. "Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas." The statement concluded: "This move smacks of a cover up. The victims deserve better."

According to an arrest report filed by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and obtained by PEOPLE, 37-year-old Brandi Asher was arrested at the park's Ticket and Transportation Center after a substance she carried tested positive for meth. The London, Ky., resident was stopped by park security on May 20 after they noticed a tin can with suspicious objects inside. The security employee asked Asher what the items were, and she allegedly told them it was medicine, calling them 'goodies, headache power.' Asher, who appeared shaken, allegedly told the employee to just throw the items away. After explaining that wasn't an option, the guest tried to put them away in her pocket. But she was instructed to put them back in the bin before deputies arrived. 'When I opened the tin can, I observed whiteish, clear, crystal-like substances inside the can. I also noticed a hollow cylinder-shaped tube,' officer Lucas Arreguin wrote in his report. 'Based on my training and experience as a law enforcement officer, I know these items to be associated with illegal narcotics.' Visually, the officer was confident the substance was meth and the device was a snorting tube. After performing a field test, his suspicions were confirmed. Per the report, Asher, who was 'very honest about the situation,' explained to the officer she was on a trip to Orlando with her family. While staying at the West Gate Resort in Orlando, she claims an unknown individual came up to her at the hotel and offered her meth.'She did not tell her husband about the methamphetamines,' the report stated. 'She believed the methamphetamine was in her other bag that she had left at the hotel and didn't realize that she had brought it into the security line until the security guard pulled it out.'The total weight of illegal substances on Asher equaled 1.5 grams. Asher was escorted to the security office, where she received a trespass warning from Disney World, then she was transported to the Booking and Release Center. Asher was released from jail the following day after a $5,000 bond. The accused pleaded not guilty on June 1.
