Verdict reached in Ghislaine Maxwell trial

A jury in New York has reached a verdict in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of sexual absue and grooming minors for Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell was charged with six federal counts related to Epstetin's alleged sex trafficking ring. 

Maxwell, 59, pleaded not guilty to the charges stemming from her interactions with four teenage girls from 1994 to 2004. During that span, Maxwell was romantically involved with and then later worked for Epstein. She faces over 70 years in prison if convicted.

Maxwell opted not to testify in her own defense at trial, and has denied the allegations detailed in the indictment and all claims of wrongdoing.
