Prosecutors on Monday made closing arguments in Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial, asserting the British socialite and onetime Jeffrey Epstein associate preyed on vulnerable young girls as part of Epstein’s extensive scheme to abuse them.
Maxwell, 59, previously pleaded not guilty to six federal counts such as sex trafficking of minors, 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 counts of conspiracy. She faces up to 70 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
