NBC New York reports that Ghislaine Maxwell, a confidante of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein who has been implicated in his alleged sexual crimes, has been arrested by the FBI.

She was arrested in Bedford, New Hampshire around 8:30 a.m. on charges she conspired with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, and is expected to appear in a federal court later today, the sources say.

The six-count indictment in Manhattan federal court alleges that Maxwell helped Epstein groom girls as young as 14 years old, going back as far as 1994.

Hmmmm.
