Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has been denied bail.
The British socialite is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York.
In a bail application filed with the US District Court in Manhattan, Maxwell said she and her husband would post a $22.5m (£16.5m) bond towards a $28.5m (£21m) bail package, secured by all their assets, with most of the remaining funds coming from friends and family.
The proposed package included home confinement with electronic monitoring and 24-hour guard to ensure she remained safe and would not escape.
However, judge Alison Nathan, who previously denied the 59-year-old bail in July, said she "again concludes that no conditions of release can reasonably assure the defendant's appearance at future proceedings".

Epstein killed himself in August 2019 at a federal jail in Manhattan, where he was awaiting trial without bail. »
