Deliberations resume in sex abuse trial of Ghislaine Maxwell
A jury resumed deliberations Wednesday at the sex trafficking trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
The jury entered its secondĀ full day of considering the fateĀ of Maxwell after hearing from witnesses and seeing evidence for three weeks as prosecutors tried to prove that Maxwell was the crucial enabler of financier Jeffrey Epstein’s proclivity to sexually abuse teenage girls.
Maxwell, 59, was arrestedĀ in July 2020 on charges she groomed girls as young as 14 to think it was acceptable and normal for them to engage in sexualized massages with Epstein, her onetime boyfriend and eventual close friend and employer, in return for $100 bills.
