Jeffrey Epstein’s predatory enabler, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been found guilty on five of six counts related to her participation in sexual assaults of minors. Four women testified that Maxwell was the facilitator of their abuse, essentially grooming them to be raped by Epstein.
Maxwell was found guilty of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts; conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; sex trafficking conspiracy; sex trafficking of a minor. The lone count on which Maxwell was acquitted, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, applied only to one Jane Doe victim.
NEW YORK (AP) — The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
The verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at Epstein’s palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico.
Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Maxwell guilty of five of six counts. As the verdict was read, Maxwell appeared to show little reaction behind a black mask. She stood with her hands folded as the jury filed out, and glanced at her siblings as she herself was led from the courtroom, but was otherwise stoic.
She faces the likelihood of years in prison — an outcome long sought by women who spent years fighting in civil courts to hold Maxwell accountable for her role in recruiting and grooming Epstein’s teenage victims and sometimes joining in the sexual abuse.
The defense had insisted Maxwell was a victim of a vindictive prosecution devised to deliver justice to women deprived of their main villain when Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial in 2019.
During the trial, prosecutors called 24 witnesses to give jurors a picture of life inside Epstein’s homes — a subject of public fascination and speculation ever since his 2006 arrest in Florida in a child sex case. (read more)
She’s been in jail long enough that she could have confided in someone to write the tell all book before sentencing using a pseudonym. If she has one ounce of remorse, she will help bring justice to the many evil people involved in this, regardless of her fate.
She’s a democrat, she has no remorse, they have no soul…
She has as much remorse as the biggest “John.” Slick Willie.
She better talk now, she won’t last long in prison if she does not.
When will wray and garland explain why none of the people having sex with the children are being arrested? They need to explain themselves now
No need to worry all the evidence from this case will be kept in a safe place and stored with the Clinton emails, Abedin laptop, Crossfire Hurricane 302s, Flynn 302 and recorded phone call, 14000 hours of video from J6, secret FBI informant files, files on the Vegas shooter, Flight 800 files, Clinton Foundation and Uranium One files, US Gymnastic team sex abuse files, Hunter, Joe FJB Birisma files, hard drives and years of family corruption, 9-11 files, Ashley Bidens Diary,FL nightclub shooter, Boston Bomber files……see a pattern yet? This agency needs to be investigated, disbanded and those involved in corruption jailed. You have to naive to think that Chineese, Russians, Israelis don’t have originals or copies of whatever the FIB is hidding and using to blackmail the US already, probably for many years back.
Excellent summary.
very impressive recap.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
This would be a very good list to give to Kuck Kinzinger and Lizard Cheney when they talk about “insurrection”.
Not to take away from your excellent list, let’s not forget all the friends & associates of Bill & Hill who ‘suicided’ themselves (Vince Foster, Seth Rich) or the gay reporter from Chicago who had the goods on ‘Bathhouse Barry’ who ‘mysteriously’ died & our hero Andrew Breibart. Probably many, many more than we even know 😓
Hillary: “Don’t worry Maxie, we’ll get you out on appeal really soon…”
Also Hillary: “Make it look like an accident.”
3-2-1 Arcancide!
Some think the highest paid Government Employee is Lord Fauci. In fact it is the FBIs warehouse 13 Librarian. Maxwells files safely tucked away with the rest since 1919 when Hoover was head of the General Intelligence Division. I have been trying to live with the fact that we are one of the most corrupt Nations in the world. Man, it is hard to accept, but I keep trying. My blood pressure will be much better if I can just face it. I am almost over it.
You are so right. Where great numbers of people reside, corruption reigns supreme. It is, sadly, The Human Condition. A certain, finite, percentage of all humans are simply corruptible. When presented with the opportunity, they do corrupt things for personal gain. The USA is a very large, wealthy, country with millions of people, thus creating the conditions for corruption. All the people’s money passes through Washington, DC, making it a magnet for the corrupt in our society to be drawn to for personal gain, which is why the counties surrounding DC are the wealthiest in the nation.
sad that all the people she helped rape the girls will probably all move on free to continue their sick sexual fantasies
Protecting the next domino from falling…
She is punished And the real monsters go free. I myself see no justice in any of this.
Judges, politicians, businessmen, they are just covering their tracks.
She is not a “patsie!”
FOx and BBC both employed Alan Dershowitz to comment on the verdict- hardly an impartial commentator- and on both networks, he spent the entire time commending the prosecution for not having his accuser, Virginia Guiffre, testify because “she’s a proven liar” and “cannot be believed”……..really BAD optics. No news media should be hiring Dershowitz to comment on this case as he is actively involved in it. Shows you how far our news has devolved from the days of Walter Cronkite.
I did not follow the trial. Were the witnesses serving only Epstein? And if they entertained other “guests”, were they asked about their names?

Of course.
