Ghislaine Maxwell trial LIVE – Epstein’s ‘madam’ returns to court after being branded ‘very sick woman’ by ‘victim’
British socialist Ghislaine Maxwell is accused of allegedly supporting convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, in the recruitment and abuse of girls.
An alleged victim came forward and said that the British socialite was a ‘very sick woman’ who helped orchestrate the abuse. She told CBS correspondent Holly Williams that Maxwell was “the engineer.”
Maxwell is currently charged with several felony accounts some of which include human trafficking charges.
She has denied all charges against her, and her lawyers argue she is being made a “scapegoat” for Epstein’s crimes. They have painted the alleged victims as in it for the cash.
The trial is expected to last about 6 weeks in the Manhattan Federal Court Room. It is likely to tackle many aspects of her relationship with Epstein and those who worked for either Epstein or Maxwell.
Today is the sixth day of the trial.
