Nathan United States District Judge United States Cow1house 40 Foley Square New York, NY 10007 Dear Judge Nathan, Re: United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell 20 Cr. 330 (AJN) I am writin this letter on behalf of Ghislaine Maxwell, a woman who I and looking up to. ■ we continue to e m touc to ay. December 7, 2020 I do not write this to discuss the charges against Ghislaine Maxwell, to plead that she is :innocent or argue that she is guilty. I am simply hoping to offer a more well-rounded picture of Ms. Maxwell as a person outside of the o inions of the media. As a kid I saw Ghislaine as an le of a st:ron , carin woman. In addition, her passion for saving the oceans was inspiring. At a very impressionable age, Ghislaine taught me a lot about generosity, determination, and resilience. Thank you for the opportunity to write this letter. I hope you will consider granting bail to Ghislaine Maxwell. Given the seriousness of the situation, I would not have considered taking action if I did not feel it necessary. Whatever the outcome, I felt it was imp 01tant for me to shai·e my unique perspective and stand up for what I b elieve in. Sincerely, -
