HOUSTON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring with late U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors, has been transferred from Florida to a federal prison camp in Texas, local media reported Friday.

"We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas," BOP spokesperson Donald Murphy said in a statement, without providing further explanation.

Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 for carrying out a years-long scheme with Epstein to groom and sexually abuse underage girls. She has continued to appeal her conviction, including to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress if major conditions are met, including immunity and receiving the questions beforehand.

U.S. President Donald Trump last week renewed his denial of any connection to Epstein, accusing the Democrats of making up fake information.

Epstein, who had extensive connections with U.S. political and business elites, was arrested on sex crime charges and died in prison in August 2019, which was officially ruled a suicide.

During Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, he pledged to release Epstein-related documents if re-elected. However, in early July, the U.S. Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a joint memo stating no incriminating "client list" exists and "no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." ■
