Jury convicts Ghislaine Maxwell on five federal sex trafficking counts, renewing congressional pressure for full Epstein network disclosure

A Manhattan federal jury convicted Ghislaine Maxwell on five of six counts, including sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy, for her role in recruiting and grooming girls for Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell faced up to 65 years in prison. The verdict renewed pressure from survivor advocates and members of Congress for the DOJ to publicly disclose the full scope of the Epstein network, including documents identifying other individuals who facilitated the abuse.
