Jury deliberations resume at Ghislaine Maxwell trial
NEW YORK (AP) — A jury has resumed deliberating at the sex trafficking trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. The jury in Manhattan federal court went back to work in a large room where they could spread out for coronavirus safety reasons as soon as all 12 jurors arrived Tuesday morning. They had begun their work late Monday, but they deliberated less than an hour before going home. They are deciding whether Maxwell assisted former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of teenage girls from 1994 to 2004. Maxwell’s lawyers say the government has used her as a scapegoat after Epstein killed himself in 2019.
