The FBI has arrested a British socialite on charges she helped lure three girls to be sexually abused by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein was accused of victimizing dozens of girls and women over many years.

According to an indictment unsealed Thursday, Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated Epstein's crimes by ``helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse'' girls.

She is also accused of participating in the abuse.

Epstein killed himself in a federal detention centre in New York last summer while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Maxwell has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and called some of the claims against her ``absolute rubbish.''
