Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys arrive at a Manhattan courthouse as jury selection begins in the British socialite's sex crimes trial. She was charged with recruiting a network of underage girls for late US financier Jeffrey Epstein, her former lover who killed himself in prison over two years ago.. IMAGES
Ghislaine Maxwell has been charged with recruiting three underage girls in the 1990s for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse. She's also being charged for committing perjury in her 2016 depositions. She has pleaded not guilty. Maxwell fought hard to keep her 2016 deposition about the Epstein scandal under wraps--but to no avail. According to Newser, a judge ordered the deposition, part of a civil lawsuit, released on Thursday, and news outlets were poring over the 465-page document. US District Judge Loretta A. Preska allowed the release of the transcripts after rejecting arguments that Maxwell would be denied a fair criminal trial.
Bobbi Sternheim, Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer, says her client "will appeal this case," after she was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a New York judge for helping the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls. "We are confident that she will prevail on appeal," Sternheim tells reporters. SOUNDBITE
