Ghislaine Maxwell to appear in court for the first time since arrest

Maxwell, who has been locked in a Brooklyn jail since her arrest, will appear for her arraignment on two sex-trafficking charges that were added to her indictment by federal prosecutors in March.

Maxwell had requested her arraignment take place in person after a remote hearing in a separate civil case she is involved in was brigaded by conspiracy theorists, who overwhelmed the court’s public phone line.

The 59-year-old has maintained her innocence since her arrest and is expected to plead not guilty to the additional counts Friday.
