Ghislaine Maxwell is placed on SUICIDE WATCH and may seek to delay her Tuesday sentencing

Ghislaine Maxwell has been placed on suicide watch just days before her scheduled sentencing for sex trafficking and conspiracy crimes, her lawyer said.

Bobbi Sternheim, who represents the longtime Jeffery Epstein associate, submitted a letter to U.S. District Judge Alison Nathon on Saturday, stating that the Metropolitan Detention Center, in Brooklyn, had placed her client on suicide watch on Friday, Insider reported.

Sternheim claimed this was done 'without having conducted a psychological evaluation and without justification,' with Maxwell allegedly wearing a 'suicided smock,' a large piece of fabric that can't be used to fashion a noose, and placed in solitary confinement.
