The jury continued its requests to the judge before formulating its verdict, such as the exact definition of some charges such as “incitement” to travel in order to participate in cases of sex trafficking (the most serious accusation, for implicating a victim of 14 years), or hearing testimony from a former police officer who participated in a search at Epstein’s home.

The commission of sexual abuse by Epstein has not been questioned at any time during the trial, and the defense has rather tried to unlink Maxwell of those events, arguing most of the time that she was not present and was unaware of what Epstein was doing with these women, some of them minors at the time of the events.

Ghislaine Maxwell can be convicted of six different charges, but the three most serious are based solely on the separate testimonies of two alleged victims, while the remaining three, under the heading of “conspiracy”, rely on four testimonies, but are punished with lighter penalties.
