Ghislaine Maxwell found guilty in sex trafficking case
Ghislaine Maxwell could now start naming names to get a shorter prison sentence after the British socialite was found guilty of sex trafficking schoolgirls for her and her pedophile boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein to abuse.
Maxwell is facing up to 65 years behind bars after jurors declared her a child sex predator, and was seen speaking to a producer for ABC News in the courtroom in New York on Tuesday, one day before her conviction yesterday.
The long prison sentence faced by Maxwell gives her ample motivation to ‘flip’ and discuss the actions of others within Epstein’s circle. Epstein himself took his own life in jail in New York in August 2019 while awaiting trial.
His victims have been calling for others Epstein associated with to be held account, and have pointed out that the disgraced pedophile financier, who died aged 66, counted a plethora of famous faces among his friends.
Maxwell could now be willing to implicate others, in order to reduce her sentence.
Her family said they were ‘very disappointed’ with the verdict and had already begun the appeal process with the belief she will be ‘vindicated’.
Her family lawyer, Leah Saffian, who has been a regular in the courtroom sat with her relatives, was spotted by The Miami Herald on Tuesday beckoning over James Hill, a producer for ABC News, to introduce him to Maxwell.
