Ghislaine Maxwell guilty - NYC schools resume - Russia embraces Soviet history

A federal jury in Manhattan found Ms. Maxwell, 60, guilty of sex trafficking and four of the five other charges against her. She was acquitted of one count of enticing a minor to travel across state lines to engage in an illegal sexual act. The government called four accusers — two used pseudonyms and one only a partial name — who testified that they had been served up to Jeffrey Epstein to be sexually abused.

The verdict was a rejection of Ms. Maxwell’s defense, which centered on an argument that the government’s case was based on flimsy evidence, prosecutors’ animus toward Mr. Epstein and the inconsistent accounts of women who were motivated by money to point the finger at Ms. Maxwell.

On the most serious of the counts for which she was convicted — sex trafficking of minors — she could face up to 40 years in prison. Another count carries a potential 10-year sentence, and the three others, all conspiracy counts, carry sentences of up to five years each. Judge Nathan did not set a date for Ms. Maxwell to be sentenced.
