The 59-year-old “socialite” has pleaded not guilty to the six charges against her, including trafficking of minors for sexual purposes. If the jury finds her guilty, she faces 80 years in jail.

The lawyer of Maxwell, Laura Menninger, accused Jane of discrepancies between the story she initially told to police officers in December 2019 and the testimony she gave the day before.

Menninger tried to corner her by saying that then she wasn’t sure if Maxwell He touched or kissed her, unlike the vivid account he gave the jury the day before about the participation of Maxwell in erotic massages, group sex and abuse with Epstein.

On the prosecution’s shift, Prosecutor Allison Moe asked him if he was “Performing here today.”

“Did not answer Jane, before adding that in his first interrogation with the agents It was difficult for him to tell strangers “the most shameful and profound secret that he had carried all his life”, and he did not reveal all the details.

Through tears, she said that little by little she felt more prepared to tell her story, and “began to feel that she could trust” government agents.

“This is something that I have carried all my life. I’m just tired ”, said.

In the first questioning by the prosecution, Jane recounted that she had met Epstein and Maxwell at an art summer camp in Michigan in 1994, when he was 14 years old.

During the interrogation on Wednesday, the prosecution asked him about the defense allegations that he was testifying because he thought it could help him receive money.

Jane replied that she had no financial interest in giving her testimony as it has received $ 5 million from the Epstein Fund, although after deducting the legal expenses that sum remained at 2.9 million.

Then she burst into tears hiding her face in a handkerchief. When he regained his composure, he said that what he wanted was to “somehow close” this chapter of his life.

“I imagine that in this country the only thing you can get is compensation to try to move on with your life.”
