A request by Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys to have her sex trafficking convictions dropped has been denied
"The testimony and other trial evidence established the Defendant's role in grooming and recruiting underage girls and using the cover of massage to perpetrate sexual abuse," US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion.Nathan did, however, grant Maxwell's motion regarding some counts being repetitive.
"Count Five, like Counts One and Three, charged the Defendant's participation in the same decade-long unlawful agreement with the Defendant's continuous coconspirator, Jeffrey Epstein, to groom and sexually abuse underage girls." Maxwell's sentencing is set for June 28, and the court will enter judgment of conviction on counts three, four and six.
