The uncovering of Jeffrey Epstein's s*x abuse scandal in July 2019 sent shockwaves across the world. British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was found to be his co-conspirator who allegedly procured the girls for him.

While Epstein took his own life in prison in 2019 as he awaited trail, Maxwell recently stood trial for her involvement in the case. She was charged with several s*x trafficking offenses that she committed between 1994 and 2004 with Epstein at his residences in Florida, New York, and New Mexico.

Maxwell had initially fled after Epstein's death, but the FBI eventually tracked her down in New Hampshire in July 2020. In December 2021, after 40 hours of jury deliberation, she was found guilty of recruiting and grooming young girls to have s*xual encounters with Epstein.

Presently, Ghislaine Maxwell is being held at the New York Metropolital Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York as she awaits sentencing that is due on June 28, 2022.
