“She doesn’t think what she did was wrong. She is not sorry. She would do it again,” one woman who testified during Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial under the name Kate said.
Ghislaine Maxwell has been sentenced to two decades behind bars for her role in longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein's years-long pattern of sexually victimizing young girls.
In newly filed court documents, prosecutors refuted Ghislaine Maxwell's claims that she is being scapegoated, noting that the socialite "was an adult who made her own choices" when she engaged in the sex trafficking for which she was convicted.
In a legal brief intended to secure Ghislaine Maxwell a lighter sentence, her attorneys claim that a female inmate has said someone paid her to strangle Maxwell in her sleep.
Artist Rina Oh has accused Virginia Giuffre of "sexually abusing" her alongside Jeffrey Epstein in the massage room at Epstein's New York townhome in 2001, claims which Giuffre has denied through her attorney.
In response to a set of appeals from Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team, U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan upheld her conviction a second time but concluded that three of the charges on which she was convicted should be consolidated into one charge.
Federal Judge Alison J. Nathan refused to order a new trial for Ghislaine Maxwell, convicting of child sex trafficking charges, despite the presence of a juror who told reporters after the trial that he had been a victim of child sexual abuse.
The Maxwell case judge will hear evidence as to whether the juror was improperly seated after he didn't tell the court that he was the victim of child sexual abuse.
In addition to an undisclosed monetary settlement for Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew also “intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights," according to a joint filing in the case.
