Epstein accuser Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict: "I never thought this day would ever happen"

Sarah Ransome, one of the women who has spoken out about allegations of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, says she felt "vindicated" and "completely overwhelmed" after a New York jury convicted Maxwell on five out of six federal counts related to Epstein's sex trafficking ring.

"I never thought this day would ever happen," Ransome told "CBS Mornings." "For me it's really important to thank the prosecutors and to thank the four incredibly brave, beautiful women that testified because without them, without their truth, we would never have got Ghislaine behind bars. We would never have had this verdict. So yes, this is justice. But this is just the beginning." 

Maxwell was found guilty Wednesday on charges of sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy. Maxwell, who pleaded not guilty and denies all claims of wrongdoing, faces a potential maximum sentence of 65 years in prison.
