Britain’s Gilen Maxwell trial for sexual assault enters its second week today after jurors heard last week the testimony of a woman who claims that Maxwell arranged for her to be sexually exploited by the late stockbroker Jeff.
Prosecutors are expected to call three more prosecution witnesses to the trial in New York, which is set to last until January. Maxwell, 59, is accused of recruiting and approaching four underage girls to be sexually exploited by Epstein from 1994 to 2004, and faces eight counts of trafficking and other charges.
In her testimony in federal court, the first defendant – known as Jane – said that Epstein abused her, starting when she was 14 years old in the mid-1990s. with Jane.
Maxwell, daughter of British media mogul Robert Maxwell, pleads not guilty. Her lawyers question the credibility of the four prosecution witnesses and say prosecutors are targeting Maxwell as Epstein is no longer alive.
The well-rounded and well-connected investor committed suicide in his cell in a Manhattan prison at the age of 66 in 2019, while he was waiting to be tried for sexual abuse.
During the first week of the trial, jurors also heard Epstein’s personal pilot recall that Prince Andrew of Britain and former US Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were flying Epstein’s plane. Jane said Epstein introduced her to Trump at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago club when she was 14 years old. None of these three people – Prince Andrew, Clinton and Trump – face any charges.
