Year: 2021

Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex trafficking trial starts today in New York.

She is accused of sex trafficking several victims for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The papers and online news sites are reporting heavily on what has been dubbed ‘the trial of the century’. The papers have a fairly mixed reporting on Maxwell for the severity of accusations against her. Some of the papers have a more sympathetic tone and suggest she was a pawn in Jeffery Epstein’s game whilst others have already deemed her guilty.

The Sun isn’t mixing its words, with its headline stating the ways she could “escape justice”.  

The Guardian runs an interview with Maxwell’s brother who suggests the trial is ‘over-hyped’. 

The Independent’s headline reports Maxwell could ‘face decades in jail’ whilst the Daily Express suggests Maxwell will take to the stand to ‘save her life’.
