NEW YORK (AP) — The British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the American millionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Maxwell guilty of five of six counts. Their courage and willingness to face their abuser made this case, and today’s result, possible,” he said in a statement. But the core of the prosecution was the testimony of four women who said they were victimized by Maxwell and Epstein at tender ages. The legal fights involving Epstein and Maxwell are not over.
