What’s next for Ghislaine Maxwell after guilty verdict?

5. sex trafficking conspiracy

6. sex trafficking of a minor

She was convicted on all charges except the second count, despite her lawyers’ assertions she was just a patsy.

WHY WAS SHE ACQUITTED ON ONE COUNT?

Without public statements from the jurors, who have yet to come forward, it’s impossible to say for sure. But the second count, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, was perhaps the most ambiguous of the charges levied. Maxwell was accused of having “enticed” Jane to New York City, arranging flights and offering gifts, knowing that Epstein would abuse her. During deliberations, the jury seemed to be hung up on this count, asking for the definition of “enticement” in a note.

HOW EXACTLY DO YOU PRONOUNCE ‘GHISLAINE’?

Think French. Hard “g,” silent “s.” First syllable: “ghee,” like the clarified butter. If it helps, the cover of the New York Post — run by Rupert Murdoch, a rival of Maxwell’s late media baron father — the day after the verdict: “GHILTY!”

HOW MUCH PRISON TIME DOES GHISLAINE MAXWELL FACE?

The most serious count on which the 60-year-old was convicted carries up to 40 years in prison. The count on which she acquitted was fairly minor, carrying a five-year maximum.
