Will Ghislaine Maxwell 'start naming names' to get a shorter sentence?
Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking charges on Wednesday. After six days of deliberation, a jury of six men and six women found the British socialite guilty on five of six counts - all except enticing an individual under the age of 17 to travel to with intent to engage in illegal sex act. She faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, leading to speculation that she might 'flip' and implicate others in a bid to reduce her sentence.
The sixth count - sex trafficking of an individual under the age of 18 - carries a maximum sentence of 40 years. The Maxwell family released a statement saying: 'We believe firmly in our sister's innocence—we are very disappointed with the verdict. We have already started the appeal tonight'. Key moments of the trial included the moment Jeffrey Epstein's massage table was brought into court for the jurors to see and the claim that Maxwell may have been pregnant.
