Epstein, guilty on five of six counts!!
A jury has reached a verdict in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and close associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The jury's decision represents a concluding chapter in a disturbing saga of abuse that stretches nearly three decades.
Prosecutors argued Maxwell and Epstein conspired to set up a scheme to lure young girls into sexual relationships with Epstein from 1994 to 2004 in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands.
Four women testified during the trial that Epstein abused them and that Maxwell facilitated the abuse and sometimes participated in it as well.
Her defense, meanwhile, said she was a "scapegoat" for Epstein's actions and attacked the memories and motivations of the women who say they were sexually abused.
Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges, was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges in July 2019 but died by suicide in prison a month later.
Maxwell, his confidante and former girlfriend, was arrested a year afterward and has been held in jail since.
Today she was found GUILTY!!!!
