JUST IN By T. Grant Benson -December 29, 2021
A jury has reached a verdict in the sex abuse trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. The British socialite was convicted of helping American financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.
Maxwell was found guilty on five of six counts. Jurors deliberated for five days before reaching an outcome.
“A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable – facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams. “Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. The road to justice has been far too long. But, today, justice has been done. I want to commend the bravery of the girls – now grown women – who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom. Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today’s result, possible. I also want to thank the career prosecutors of the Southern District of New York, who embraced the victims’ quest for justice and have worked tirelessly, day in and day out, to ensure that Maxwell was held accountable for her crimes. This Office will always stand with victims, will always follow the facts wherever they lead, and will always fight to ensure that no one, no matter how powerful and well connected, is above the law.”Jury Finds Ghislaine Maxwell GUILTY On 5 Of 6 Counts In Sex Abuse Trial – Breaking911
