Ghislaine Maxwell’s bound for a new social scene: federal prison.
A Manhattan jury found the wealthy one-time darling of New York and London’s high societies guilty Wednesday of enticing young sex abuse victims for Jeffrey Epstein.
The jurors in Manhattan Federal Court deliberated for 40 hours over five days before returning the verdict. The 60-year-old faces up to 65 years in prison when Judge Alison Nathan sentences her for aiding in a decade-long scheme to recruit and transport teenage girls worldwide for Epstein to sexually abuse.
“A unanimous jury has found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of one of the worst crimes imaginable – facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children. Crimes that she committed with her long-time partner and co-conspirator, Jeffrey Epstein. The road to justice has been far too long. But, today, justice has been done,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said.
