Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial will start on Monday after a 15-month wait. The British socialite is on trial for sex trafficking children, perjury and the enticement of minors while she was a close associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. 

Most national and international news sites are preparing for the trial and it will undoubtedly be heavily covered. For the start of the trial the papers are discussing whether her lawyers ‘fears’ over her lack of likeability, apparent evidence from the prosecution that links her to trafficking women ‘to more powerful men’ and the looming shadow of Jeffery Epstein.

Some of the papers are strangely taking a more sympathetic tone despite her serious charges, including reports on her ‘living hell’ that is her life in prison.
