Ghislaine Maxwell befriends socialite and writes to mystery UK pen pal | UK News

Ghislaine Maxwell has been forced to turn to a mystery male pen pal from the UK and a fellow jailed socialite to combat loneliness in prison.

The convicted sex trafficker, 61, has struck up a friendship with Monique Brady in FCI Tallahassee who stole millions from family and friends to afford her luxurious lifestyle and gambling addiction.

This is despite Maxwell being branded as a ‘Karen’ and a ‘chomo’, which is prison slang for child molester, MailOnline reports.

She is serving a 20 year prison sentence for helping disgraced Jeffrey Epstein abuse girls.

Brady, who was a once-prominent figure in the New England social scene, was sentenced to eight years in prison for wire fraud, identity theft and failing to pay $4.8million in tax.

She conned 23 people, including her childhood best friend, a friend from law school, her stepbrother and a women who was a grandmother figure to her children.

A source explained: ‘They are both former socialites who were accustomed to the high life and now find themselves languishing in prison, so it’s not a surprise that Mo and Max have become friends.

‘Mo is also very secretive, she loves to complain about prison and she hates the media for writing about her case. They have a lot in common.’

Maxwell has also corresponded with a mystery mail admirer, according to sources at the prison in Florida.

‘It is believed to be a man from the United Kingdom, someone she has never met but who started writing to her once she was locked up,’ a source revealed

‘Max hides the letters and keeps his identity a closely guarded secret. She lodged a complaint about her mail being tampered with because she is so paranoid about his name leaking out.’

Prison bosses have tried to keep inmates from learning too much about Maxwell’s crimes, by removing the library’s only copy of Filthy Rich – James Patterson’s bestselling book about Epstein’s crimes.

During her time locked up, Maxwell has complained about the lack of vegan options on the menu and not being able to dye her hair.

She’s also complained about her cellmate’s ‘loud’ sex in the bunk above her.
