"I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened? Because as far as I was concerned, he was going to, I was sure he was going to appeal. And I was sure he was covered under the non-prosecution agreement.
"But I wasn't in the indictment. I wasn’t mentioned. I wasn't even one of the co-conspirators."

Speaking about her relationship with Epstein, Maxwell went on to tell Kyle: "I honestly wish I had never met him… Looking back now, I probably wish I had stayed in England. But leaving that aside, you know I tried to leave and start another new job and move on from the end of '98, '99.
"So, I wish I had been more successful in moving on…Because I'd been a banker and so I should have moved on completely."
Maxwell's interview aired on Monday night (TalkTV)She added: "At the time when I wouldn’t have had a problem introducing people to my friends, to him.
"Because I didn’t know (laughs) that he was so awful. I mean obviously now, looking back with hindsight, of course. But at the time, I mean he had lots of friends. He was friendly with just about everybody you could imagine. There was no reason to imagine that he was someone of interest to people."
In June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced in a New York court to 20 years imprisonment.
Epstein was found unresponsive in his Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, jail cell on August 10 2019. He was later pronounced dead at the New York Downtown Hospital.
