British socialite turned-convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell finally got her due Tuesday when she was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in helping rich-and-powerful pedophile Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls.

US District Judge Alison Nathan said the sentence of 240 months was “sufficient and not greater than necessary,” for Maxwell, who earlier addressed the court and told victims in a half-hearted apology, “I am sorry for the pain that you experienced.”

As she finally learned her fate, the 60-year-old predator’s face remained inscrutable, and she briefly hugged her attorney before leaving the courtroom, wearing blue jail scrubs, her dark brown locks cut in a bob and her ankles in shackles. She did not speak to her siblings, who were seated in the row behind her.

“The number of people harmed is impossible to measure,” victim Annie Farmer, who testified at trial, told the court during Tuesday’s hearing, as Maxwell’s shoulders tensed.

The Epstein madam tried to avoid looking at her victims as they spoke, but did lock eyes with Sarah Ransome when her victim told her, “You broke me in unfathomable ways.
