Ghislaine Maxwell Could Spend DECADES Behind Bars After Being Found Guilty Of 5 Of 6 Charges In Epstein Sex Trafficking Trial!
Maxwell plead not guilty to all charges and her lawyers insisted that she had been made a scapegoat in the wake of Epstein who (didn’t) allegedly committed suicide in 2019 while awaiting his own trial. She now faces decades behind bars.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY Damian Williams released a statement,
“A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable – facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children. Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein,” Williams continued, “I want to commend the bravery of the girls – now grown women – who stepped out of the shadows and into the courtroom.”
Maxwell, 60, was found guilty of five federal charges: sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three related counts of conspiracy.
Maxwell now faces up to 65 years in prison but showed no reaction when the verdicts were read.
