Ghislaine Maxwell has asked a US judge to release her under a proposed $28.5m (\u00a321.4m) bail package as she awaits trial on sex crime charges.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The British socialite is accused of helping the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein groom young girls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A court filing released on Monday said Ms Maxwell “vehemently maintains her innocence” and asked to be freed from jail until her trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She wants instead to be confined to her home and protected by armed guards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Judge Alison Nathan could rule on this latest bail request in New York by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Maxwell’s previous request for bail<\/a>\u00a0when she was arrested in July was denied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms Maxwell was in a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s. The financier died in a prison cell in August last year as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges, more than a decade after he was convicted for soliciting prostitution from a minor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
