Closing Arguments Delivered in Sex Trafficking Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell
VOA says The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell ended Monday, with prosecutors arguing that she recruited and groomed teenage girls so financier Jeffery Epstein could sexually abuse them, and her defense attorneys maintaining her innocence.
The prosecution and defense delivered closing arguments in the four-week trial of Maxwell, 59, a former Epstein associate who pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and other crimes.
Federal prosecutors argued that Maxwell’s predation of teenage girls allowed Epstein’s abuse. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe said the financier could not have abused his victims for over a decade without Maxwell’s help.
