Ghislaine Maxwell, 60, will be sentenced today after being convicted of sex trafficking in December
The judge who will hand down Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence has determined the guidelines dictate she serve just 15.6 years to 19.5 years - not the expected 55-year maximum
Prosecutors asked Judge Alison Nathan to impose a sentence of at least 30 years because of Maxwell's 'utter lack of remorse,' while Maxwell claimed she should serve just four years as she is not a danger to the public
Two victims, Annie Farmer and the woman known only as 'Kate', are due to read their statements in person and face down Maxwell
Farmer was seen arriving to the Manhattan courthouse Tuesday morning flanked by her lawyer, along with victims Sarah Ransome and Elizabeth Stein
Ransome claimed in her victim impact statement, 'I was nothing more than a sex toy with a heartbeat and soul used to entertain Epstein, Maxwell and others'
The sentencing will mark the end of a decades-long fight for justice by victims of Maxwell and Epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell, 60, will be sentenced today after being convicted of sex trafficking in December
The judge who will hand down Ghislaine Maxwell's sentence has determined the guidelines dictate she serve just 15.6 years to 19.5 years - not the expected 55-year maximum.
In a big win for Maxwell's defense, Judge Alison Nathan ruled to use sentencing guidelines from 2003 - the year Maxwell's last offense took place.
In 2004, sentencing guidelines were raised, which could have seen Maxwell facing a maximum of 55 years.
But the judge ruled to now lower the maximum to 235 months - or 19.5 years.
Prosecutors had asked Judge Nathan to impose a sentence of at least 30 years because of Maxwell's 'utter lack of remorse.' Maxwell claims she should serve just four years as she is not a danger to the public
