Maxwell’s lawyers to begin defense in trial for alleged involvement in disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of minor teens
Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers are expected to begin their defense Thursday morning in her Manhattan federal court sex trafficking trial. Maxwell’s legal team said that they expect the defense case will last until at least Monday.
The former British socialite’s counsel has asked the judge, Alison Nathan, to permit some of their witnesses to testify under pseudonyms or with their first names, saying they might otherwise not take the stand.
