Did Maxwell receive any plea deal offers before trial?

Multiple reports indicated that prosecutors offered Ghislaine Maxwell opportunities to cooperate with the government before her trialan arrangement that might have led to a reduced sentence in exchange for providing information about others involved in Epstein’s network. Maxwell declined these opportunities and chose to go to trial. Her defense at trial centered on challenging victim credibility and arguing she was being scapegoated. She was convicted on five of six counts in December 2021 and sentenced to 20 years. Her refusal to cooperate has been widely noted, particularly by victim advocates who hoped her testimony would implicate other individuals.
