Ghislaine Maxwell: jury weighs charges as judge warns Covid could derail trial

She has pleaded not guilty.

Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender with high-profile associates including Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, was arrested in July 2019 for sex trafficking minor teens. He killed himself in a New York City federal jail about a month after his arrest, while awaiting trial.

Jurors started deliberating late on 20 December. They did not attend court on 23 or 24 December, due to the Christmas holiday.

On Monday, jurors requested to see a transcript of testimony from Matt, the ex-boyfriend of Jane, the first Maxwell accuser to testify.

Parkinson got down from the witness stand and, with gloved hands, examined the table. Prosecutors asked him to describe what he saw.
