Dear Your Honour.

WE. MLss Ghislaine Maxwell - Bail Anolication

I am sending this character reference in the knowledge that it will be presented to the court at Ghislaines bail hearing The content of this letter is the truth and within my knowledge.

I first met Ghistaine	Hoch
Gillslame and her immediate family have been family friends for decades
Following our tint encounter we became close
ends and remained in constant touch ever since We would always speak on her birthday which m
falls on Christmas Day.
Ghislame and I would regularly socialize together and

amongst many other adonng friends and family members I vas immediately drawn to Ghisiaine when I first met her and both her honesty a shone h from the moment we tint met and I was therefore delighted to he asked

adores Chislaine and it deeply disturbs me that a country as great as the United States would even think that Ghistaine poses a danger to children or rs and further to this I would have absolutely no hesitation in allowing Ghislaine to look after t any time

Gluslaine ts a prominent individual and I believe she will fight these charges to the end. She will not evade justice and is not in any way a flight nsk She should be granted bail immediately so that she can form a proper defence to these horrendous charges. She has faced monstrous allegations in the press that forted her to have to worry about her safety

I am not paid or retained to provide this letter I would however respectfully be prepared to offer any nasal surety that I can afford in order to meet any hail pledge that the court may set I await t uns decision and remain on standby should I he asked to fulfil any such commitment
