The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested a woman linked to disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein Thursday morning in New Hampshire, according to multiple reports.
Ghislaine Maxwell, 58, was arrested about 8:30 a.m. According to ABC News, she was arrested in Bedford and was taken into custody without incident.
She is expected to appear in federal court in the Granite State at some point Thursday.
Epstein, 66, died in his jail cell in August 2019, just over a month after his arrest on sex trafficking charges. The convicted sex offender's death was ruled a suicide, though his lawyers and others disputed that ruling.
Maxwell was a longtime companion of Epstein. She was accused by many women of recruiting them to give Epstein massages, during which they were pressured into sex. Those accusations, until now, never resulted in criminal charges. The exact nature of the charges against her weren't immediately revealed, the AP reported.
According to the AP, Maxwell has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and called some of the claims against her "absolute rubbish."
