U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan said in a written order that she expects anyone involved in the case to exercise "great care" to comply with rules designed to ensure a fair trial. But the judge said she "will not hesitate to take appropriate action" if circumstances change.

The perpetrator, believed to be a lone gunman posing as a FedEx delivery person, was not in custody, the official said.

A key for Maxwell's defence is that the plea agreement sought to prevent criminal charges from being brought “against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.”

Ghislaine Maxwell, associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has much to reveal and answer to, Roy Green says.

Ghislaine Maxwell, British socialite and longtime associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was arrested in New Hampshire by the FBI on Thursday.

Andrew has previously suggested publicly that he would willingly co-operate with an investigation.

The footage in question involves a July 23 episode in which correctional officers say they found Epstein on the floor of his cell with a strip of bedsheet around his neck.

A television interview with the woman accusing Andrew is scheduled to be broadcast Monday in Britain.

Instead of making required rounds every 30 minutes, guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas sat at their desks just 15 feet from Epstein’s cell, shopped online for furniture and motorcycles, and walked around the unit’s common area, an indictment said.

Epstein, 66, a well-connected money manager, was found unresponsive in his cell in August at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
