Jeffrey Epstein's 'madam' Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, is arrested in New Hampshire by the FBI on charges linked to the billionaire pedophile and will appear in court later today
Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein and alleged madam who is accused of procuring young girls for him, has been arrested in New Hampshire.
The FBI took her into custody on Thursday morning and she is due to appear in a federal court later, NBC News reports, citing two unnamed sources.
At this time the charges she is facing are unknown but they are understood to have been filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Maxwell has been a ghost since Epstein was arrested last June on charges of sex trafficking.

Maxwell is who introduced Prince Andrew to Epstein and who facilitated the 2001 night out in London (pictured) when Andrew allegedly had sex with Virginia Giuffre Roberts, then 17. He denies they ever met
Her attorneys have relentlessly fought away allegations that she was involved in Epstein's abuse of dozens of young girls for years by denying them in civil lawsuits.
She, however, has not been seen since August 2019 when she was spotted at an In N Out burger, ten days after Epstein' s suicide.
She has made no public comment about the scandal or about Epstein's death last August.
Dozens of women say Maxwell recruited them when they were underage or very young to act as sexual servants for Epstein.
She is also who allegedly introduce Prince Andrew to Virginia Giuffre Roberts, one of Epstein's victims, when Virginia was 17.
Virginia claims she had sex with the royal that night in London after a night of partying that had been facilitated by Maxwell, the daughter of the late, disgraced London newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell.
Prince Andrew has always denied having any form of sexual contact with Virginia.
Since Epstein's arrest and suicide, his victims have demanded that others involved in the abuse be brought to justice.
Maxwell has always been at the top of their list.
She allegedly approached girls in high schools, at country clubs and even in the street.
She would tell them that she worked for a wealthy man who would generously help the if they agreed to come to his home and massage him for money, the women say.
Giuffre has shared the most explosive allegations against her. She claims that Maxwell took part in her first sexual encounter with Epstein and that the three of them regularly had sex.
She also claims that when she tried to break free from Epstein, Maxwell threatened her.
Others have told how Maxwell facilitated their travel.
