Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty.
“More than two years after Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide behind bars, and following a shorter-than-expected trial, his longtime companion Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of multiple sex trafficking charges.
A New York City jury found that Maxwell was Epstein’s chief enabler, recruiting and grooming young girls for him to abuse. The twelve jurors found Maxwell guilty on five of the six charges, which included: conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts; conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; sex trafficking conspiracy; sex trafficking of a minor.
The only charge the jury found Maxwell not guilty of was the second count against her, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.
The jury began deliberating last week at 5 p.m., after Judge Alison J. Nathan urged lawyers to keep their closing arguments tight so the jury could begin deliberating as early as possible amid a worsening COVID-19 outbreak in NYC and a holiday weekend ahead. Deliberations started up once again on Tuesday.”
