Ghislaine Maxwell's high-profile trial and sentencing for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual exploitation of minors has propelled the discussion of sex offending, particularly concerning female offenders. Reports indicate that female sex offenders are significantly underrepresented, accounting for about 8 percent of sex offense arrests, with the majority of offenders being male. Despite this rarity, Maxwell's actions, characterized by her recruitment and facilitation of abuse in conjunction with Epstein, reflect that collaboration with male offenders is not uncommon among women who commit such crimes.
According to US Department of Justice data, females accounted for only about 8 percent of arrests for sex offenses against minors, and the U.S. Sentencing Commission (2021) reports that 93 percent of offenders were men.
What makes the Maxwell case a little more unique is that she's a woman, as female sex offenders are rare, accounting for only 8 percent of sex offense arrests.
