After taking a long weekend for the Christmas holiday, jurors in Ghislaine Maxwell's federal sex trafficking trial resumed deliberations Monday in New York.
Maxwell, the former girlfriend and longtime associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has pleaded not guilty to six federal counts: sex trafficking of a minor, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three related counts of conspiracy. If convicted on all six counts, Maxwell faces up to 70 years in prison.
Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, said Maxwell organized sexual massages with Epstein and sometimes joined in the abuse. The charges of enticing and transporting relate to testimony solely from her.Carolyn testified that when she was 14, Maxwell touched her breasts, hips and butt and told her she"had a great body for Epstein and his friends." The child sex trafficking count -- the most serious of all the charges -- relates to her testimony.
