VERDICT WATCH: Madame Perv Ghislaine Maxwell Awaits Jury

We are on verdict watch in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. 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. Four victims testified in this case, however Maxwell did not. 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 jury is now in their second full day of deliberations.
