Ghislaine Maxwell will today be sentenced for sex trafficking offences after she was found guilty of grooming underage girls for the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The 60-year-old British socialite faces up to 65 years in prison for luring young girls to massage rooms to be molested by Epstein.
The socialite was convicted in December last year of sex trafficking minors, conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and conspiracy to transport a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. Her attorneys had also previously moved for a retrial after it emerged one of the jurors in her trial had failed to disclose he was a victim of sexual abuse, but her conviction was upheld.Maxwell, who was labelled "dangerous" by the prosecution during her three-week trial last year, helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein's various properties for him to sexually abuse between 1994 and 2004.
She also told jurors how Epstein would use sex toys on her "even though it hurt" and did not tell anyone about the abuse because she was "terrified" and "felt gross and ashamed". Jurors also heard how Carolyn had been introduced to the predatory pair through Ms Giuffre, and that she had been in the same room while Epstein and Ms Giuffre had sex.
The jury was told Maxwell asked Kate if she knew of anyone who could come to her house and give Epstein oral sex because it was "a lot for her to do".

There will therefore be no apology for her role in the sex-trafficking of young women because she still maintains her innocence.
