Case 21-58, Document 58-1, 04/12/2021, 3075763, Page6 of 25 by charges involving minor victims and the potential penalties those charges carry. (Ud. at 82). Second, Judge Nathan determined that “[t]he government’s evidence at this early juncture of the case appears strong” based on the “multiple victims who provided detailed accounts of Ms. Maxwell’s involvement in serious crimes,” as well as corroboration in the form of “significant contemporaneous documentary evidence.” (/d.). Third, Judge Nathan found that Maxwell’s history and characteristics demonstrate that she poses a risk of flight. (/d. at 83). 12. In addressing that third factor, Judge Nathan emphasized Maxwell’s “substantial international ties,” which “could facilitate living abroad,” including “multiple foreign citizenships,” “familial and personal connections abroad,” and “at least one foreign property of significant value.” (/d.). Judge Nathan noted that Maxwell “is a citizen of France, a nation that does not appear to extradite its citizens.” (/d.). She found that Maxwell “possesses extraordinary financial resources” and “the representations made to Pretrial Services regarding the defendant’s finances likely do not provide a complete and candid picture of the resources available.” (/d. at 83-84). 13. Judge Nathan noted Maxwell “does have some family and personal connections to the United States,” but highlighted “the absence of any dependents, significant family ties or employment in the United States.” (/d. at 84).
