LIVE from outside Manhattan federal court as Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking

Ruptly is live from outside a Manhattan federal court in New York City on Monday, November 29 as the trial of British heiress and Jeffrey Epstein’s confidant Ghislaine Maxwell begins. Maxwell has been in a Brooklyn jail since July 2020 on charges of grooming underage girls for now-deceased US financier Jeffrey Epstein and other rich and powerful men to sexually abuse. She has pleaded not guilty and unsuccessfully tried several times to be released on bail prior to the trial. The indictment cites four victims whom, according to prosecutors, were groomed between 1994 and 2004, when some were as young as 14 years old. ​
