Maxwell and Epstein were ‘partners in crime,’ prosecutor says in trial’s opening statements

LA Times

In this courtroom sketch, Ghislaine Maxwell sits at the defense table during final stages of jury selection Monday in New York. Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were “partners in crime” in the sexual abuse of teenage girls, a prosecutor said Monday, while Maxwell’s lawyers said she was being made a scapegoat for a man’s bad behavior as the British socialite’s sex trafficking trial got underway in New York. Maxwell “was involved in every detail of Epstein’s life,” the prosecutor said. When the prosecutor finished, defense attorney Bobbi Sternheim said her client was a “scapegoat for a man who behaved badly.” Maxwell, she said, was being blamed for a man’s bad behavior just as so many women have before, all the way back to Adam and Eve. Sternheim said the four women who would testify that Maxwell recruited them to be sexually abused were suffering from quarter-century-old memories and the influence of lawyers who guided them to get money from a fund set up by Epstein’s estate after his August 2019 suicide in a Manhattan federal jail as he awaited a sex trafficking trial.
