PROSECUTORS expect Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of five out of six counts in her sex trafficking trial, will receive a ‘very significant prison sentence,’ as the heiress faces up to 65 years behind bars.
Her reported husband Scott Borgerson did not show up to her trial at any point.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr weighed in on the case, sharing a post to his Instagram stories that called for others associated with Jeffrey Epstein to be brought to justice.
“Why isn’t the network in his little black book being made public?” said the tweet, originally penned by conservative activist Christian Collins.
Former New York prosecutor Sarah Krissoff reportedly told the BBC that she expects the judge to “impose a very severe sentence” upon Maxwell.
“Given the involvement of minors, the judge has really great discretion to impose a significant sentence,” Krissoff said.
The jury found Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, guilty on five charges, which include conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation of an individual under the age of 17 with the intent to engage in sexual activity
The only charge Maxwell was not found guilty of in her trial was count two, which was enticement of an individual under the age of 17 to travel with intent to engage in sexual activity.
Maxwell’s top charge, which is a sex-trafficking count, carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. Ultimately, the socialite could face up to 65 years in prison.
