Prosecutors called Maxwell the 'lady of the house' when Jeffrey Epstein abused girls at a New York mansion, a Florida estate and a New Mexico ranch.
The fate of Ghislaine Maxwell is now squarely in the hands of a jury.
This courtroom sketch shows Ghislaine Maxwell entering court followed by 2 US Marshalls, for her trial on charges of sex trafficking, in New York City, on December 2, 2021.A jury began deliberations Monday, tasked with considering whether Ghislaine Maxwell is a dangerous predator who recruited teens to be sexually abused by financier Jeffrey Epstein — as prosecutors put it — or the "innocent woman" a defense attorney described.
Earlier, she had wiped her eyes twice as Comey attacked defense portrayals of the women who testified about abuse. The prosecutor said Maxwell played a pivotal role in Epstein's quest to sexually abuse teenage girls. "Those four witnesses gave you the most damaging testimony in this trial," she said. "These women put themselves through the hell of testifying at this trial even though they have nothing to gain."The prosecutor started her remarks by disputing a claim by the defense that nearly all the evidence pertained to Epstein, and Maxwell did not deserve to be blamed as an conspirator in his crimes.
