This courtroom sketch shows Ghislaine Maxwell, centre, seated in court at defence table between two US Marshals seated in foreground, watching proceedings in her sex abuse trial in New York.
But there was a twist to her testimony when the judge ruled in favour of defence arguments that she shouldn't be allowed to testify about details of any sexual contact with Epstein.US District Judge Alison Nathan set that limit on her testimony because she was 17 when she first interacted with Epstein in Maxwell's London home — the minimum age of consent in Britain. The same applied to later visits to Epstein's Florida home when she was 18.
When an older schoolmate offered an introduction, Carolyn said she took the bait. She testified she made her age known, but that didn't dissuade Maxwell and Epstein, she said. On the stand, she walked the jury through her history with Epstein while 16 and in high school in 1996. She described how she was creeped out when Epstein held her hand at the movies in New York; when Maxwell touched her breasts while giving her a massage at Epstein's New Mexico ranch; and when Epstein unexpectedly crawled into bed with her and pressed himself against her.
