The jury announced its decision in New York’s federal court on Wednesday. In their view, Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty of five of the six counts relating to her role in the sexual abuse of underage teenagers by Jeffrey Epstein in 1994-2004.
The trial in the case of the 60-year-old took several weeks. According to jurors, Maxwell was to persuade teenagers to travel to participate in illegal sexual acts and transport them with the intention of engaging in criminal sexual activity. The woman, on the other hand, was acquitted of the charge of inciting minors to participate in illegal sexual acts.
Shocking testimonies of girls
The trial was attended by women who had met Maxwell as teenagers. According to their testimony, a friend of the billionaire was to force them, inter alia, to to participate in orgies for Jeffrey Epstein.
From the story of one of the girls with the pseudonym Jane, it was apparent that the 60-year-old was present at the “meetings” with the billionaire. She was also supposed to “touch her body”. According to Jane, this happened every two weeks. The girl also admitted that there were naked photos of teenagers on the walls of the billionaire’s apartment.
– They were partners in crime. They had a game manual, prosecutor Maxwell reported.
Unshakable Maxwell in court
The trial of a billionaire friend was widely reported in the US media. The woman did not want to give evidence, and when the jurors read their decision, she was supposed to sit still. There was no emotion on her face. When it was announced that she was guilty – she poured herself a glass of water.
The Daily Mail reminds us that the next step in this case is up to the court. It is not yet known when the final judgment will be made.
A clear defense stance
The defense of Epstein’s friend and ex-partner does not agree with the jury’s decision. According to Maxwell’s attorney Bobbi Sternheim, investigators are chasing her client because they are no longer able to prosecute a billionaire who hanged himself in his cell. In her opinion, the 60-year-old is a scapegoat.
The woman’s family also referred to the matter. According to the statement, loved ones believe in her innocence. “We are very disappointed with the verdict. We have already started appealing and we believe that she will be acquitted,” we read.
