#348: Ghislaine Maxwell Guilty Verdict Part 1

On Wed, Dec 29th, a jury in a New York federal court found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty on five of six counts related to her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of minor girls between 1994 and 2004. Maxwell was found guilty of five federal charges: sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three related counts of conspiracy. She was acquitted on the charge of enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts. Maxwell, who now faces up to 65 years in prison, showed no reaction when the verdicts were read, though she did have a notable quote to the Judge, which we discuss.We at RCP, and Laura in particular, followed this case closely, and now that there is a verdict, we wanted to share our thoughts and expert analysis with our listeners. There is a lot to analyze including the charges, the prosecution and defense strategy, the “false memory“ expert, the verdict as well as the potential repercussions of this landmark case, and what it means for sex traffickers and those who enable and aid and abet sex offenders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
