'Ms Maxwell worked with Epstein to select young victims who were vulnerable and played a pivotal role in facilitating sexual abuse,' the judge said.Ghislaine Maxwell with Jeffrey Epstein pictured in a photo shown to the court during her sex trafficking trial Her lawyer argued that references in Epstein's agreement to the 'United States' signaled the government's intent to bar prosecutions nationwide of 'potential co-conspirators' including four named in the agreement. Maxwell was not among them.
She also said her trial was tainted because one juror did not disclose that he had been sexually abused as a child. The insider said: 'She's bragging about how great it will be but it sounds like the same old lies she has told a thousand times. But hundreds of documents made public in January, relating to a long-settled defamation case filed against Maxwell by Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre, made a mockery of her claims of innocence.Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a Florida state prosecution charge and served 13 months in jail, an arrangement now widely considered too lenientEpstein died by suicide at age 66 in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell, five weeks after being arrested and charged with sex trafficking.
