After deliberating for less than an hour Monday, jurors in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking trial are set to begin their first full day of deliberations Tuesday in federal court in New York.
Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to six federal counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and three related counts of conspiracy. If convicted on all six counts, she faces up to 70 years in prison.
The deliberations cap a three-week trial highlighted by testimony from four women who alleged Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused them and that Maxwell, his former girlfriend and longtime associate, facilitated and sometimes participated in that abuse. The sexual abuse allegedly occurred when the women were younger than 18, and their accusations stretched from 1994 to 2004.
