Introduction

The sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell has begun. The wealthy socialite is accused of being a central player in Jeffrey Epstein’s decades of sexual abuse of minors. Defense attorneys say Maxwell is a scapegoat taking the fall for a man’s misdeeds. The defense portrays Maxwell as a victim, and the accusers as basically in it for the money Epstein’s estate set aside for victims of his abuse after his death. The first witness of the trial was Lawrence Paul Visoski Jr., who worked as a pilot shuttling Epstein. He is expected to return to the stand on Tuesday.
