The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
The verdict capped a monthlong trial featuring sordid accounts of the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 14, told by four women who described being abused as teens in the 1990s and early 2000s at Epstein's palatial homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico.
Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Maxwell guilty of five of six counts.
She faces the likelihood of years in prison — an outcome long sought by women who spent years fighting in civil courts to hold Maxwell accountable for her role in recruiting and grooming Epstein's teenage victims and sometimes joining in the sexual abuse.

65 years Is still Privilege
.. justice system broke with no means to fix it
So 65 years is still a privilege within people like you screamed and went nuts the minute the truck driver who killed over six people at 110 years and you all screamed in the man that was too much for him but yet he claimed he checked his truck and his brakes didn’t work.
@Lost Key umm…nut job? Did he traffic children for sex for his boyfriend for decades??
I won’t believe it until I see a cartoonists rendition of her behind bars
Now this is real proof the people need.
@Barron Trump
Not true because of her husband got away with everything that her pimp the previously got killed behind bars there’s no real justice
@Barron Trump wtf are you doing here, Barron? Are you 18 yet?

Justice is served. I hope she rots in jail despite it never undoing what those girls had to go through.
If there is justice, there is injustice. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which is which.
If you think “justice has been served” you’re completely clueless. Shes nothing more than a scapegoat why haven’t her friends been arrested 🤔
Justice isn’t done. She’s behind bars, but I have a feeling all their customers are going to be just fine.
@lib_ tears Not all countries operate the same as the US. There’s a whole world out there besides your own front door.
@Sue Ridge you are telling me that american politicans are not corrupted?
@lib_ tears No. Didn’t say or suggest anything regarding corruption or judges that’s your narrative. Though, corruption worldwide is a real problem in government regardless of who’s in power & will really need to be addressed for real change.
The victims & jailing the rest of the paedophiles involved in every level of society is way more important than commenting who, in you’re opinion, someone voted for in America.
Hopefully an agreement worldwide to combat CSA & trafficking will end these horrific crimes against children & bring those involved to justice.
Elizabeth Holmes is NEXT!!! At least Maxwell didn’t play the “I WAS ABUSED BY EPSTEIN” victim card like Holmes did.
They will burn in Moloch’s Hell.
Ok now how about all the people she “served” these girls to?
They’re untouchable.
Two got divorced and their money halved.
@Jimme Shelter Oh, that’s so much worse than a life sentence in prison. You only get to be a single digit billionaire….take that.
How about Prince Andrew and others who were involved?
Why aren’t the clients being charged? It’s the clients that create the demand for the Ghislane’s.
@The Bee Democrats dont rat each other out. She wont say a word.
@The Bee
If they are able to offer her a reduction. Hopefully she will talk but she doesn’t need to. It’s now been proven these girls were trafficked so now they just need to testify against the clients who used them.
The prosecution will now offer her a deal to shorten her sentence if she names names. How will the clients silence her?? Will there be another murder by “suicide” in this saga?
@Jimme Shelter Dude, shut up. Just as many Republicans are involved as Democrats you brainwashed partisan
@Dan Calvano You probably would like to believe that.
She may stan Epstein, but she could not stan trial.
Unseal the documents.
She deserves everything that is coming to her. All we need now is Randy Andy to be brought to justice too. Love from the UK.
The case they didn’t want to report on because it would turn people from against each other to against the rich and powerful
You would think so but we’re talking about a programmed cult. They’re programmed to hate anybody different from them.
One thing in life is to take a good decision that will help you in future, and investing is one of the greatest decision, saving is good but investing is better now is the right time to set up an investment for your self so you can have more money to settle your financial problems
I think trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a proffessional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses. All thanks to Mr Edward Jones He changed my life, I was able to pay off my mortgage
Access to a good information is what the investors needs to progress financially in life. Here is a good one and I’m grateful.
@Jameson Lincoln you are running a scam. Good-bye
@Harper Gray you’re running a scam. Get lost
Perfectly said Brian09
You gotta be kidding — an hour and a half of this?
I’d rather watch paint dry, that’s more dramatic.
But to each his own. If this is your thing, happy viewing!
“Exterior of courthouse”….ground breaking!!! Wtf is that?
She is just the Madame. This is not yet justice. God bring us justice for all!!!!
yep this isn’t justice it’s just human sacrifice that happens to line up coincidently. lets see if she pulls a ‘Juliet’ with her bedsheets while the guards are ‘asleep’ while the 24/7 cam is just ‘off’ for no good reason. what a world.
The case is sealed, we will never find out about the Johns. This is an injustice on an epic level.
Elizabeth Holmes is NEXT!!! At least surprisingly Maxwell didn’t play the “I WAS ABUSED BY EPSTEIN” victim card like Holmes did.
“It’s not finished until it’s finished”
Ghislaine Maxwell will appeal to a higher Court.
This case could end up in the SC.
*I don’t know who need to hear this but stop relying on the government and savings. Invest some of your money if you want financial freedom*
Forex/stock trading is the best investment anyone could get into. As it could make you rich in a blink of an eye’ trading with an expert like Charles Schwab is the only key to successful trading
After watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Mr Charles Schwabstarted managing my investment now, I make $7200 weekly. God bless him his been a blessing to my family.
Bitcoin is bringing a different revolution in the world economy. People who are optimistic investors earn consistently…. Others will just sit and watch!.
