It took many hours of deliberation, but a jury finally reached a verdict in the trial of the year — one that should have been the trial of the year ten years ago. Ghislaine Maxwell could face decades in prison for sex trafficking of minors after getting convicted of five out of six counts in her indictment. As NBC News reports, Jeffrey Epstein’s literal partner in crime might also face a new trial for two counts of perjury:
British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted Wednesday of five federal sex trafficking charges after a jury concluded that she played a pivotal part in recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused

Now that Ms. Maxwell has been found guilty, will they go after the "Johns" who were involved in this? Will they charge her parents for child endangerment?

The list of wealthy hotshots who traveled on the Lolita express is long and detailed.
I rather expect that many wealthy people are seeking legal advice with regard to which countries we do not have extradition treaties with.
I hear it's lovely in Brazil this time of year .........land of hemp land of hope.

The case against Ghislaine Maxwell ends with this trial. Maybe perjury later, but that's it. Maxwell, you see, is just small fry and prosecutors (or prosecutors's bosses) will be quite content to let the big fish wiggle their tails and swim away unhooked. This will be a perfect example of two tiered justice. Only little people pay taxes according to Leona Helmsley, and by that reckoning only little people go to jail. Hillary Clinton and her friends should be in jail because of the e-mail scandal and Steele dossier. She and they are not. In the Epstein affair rich and famous perverts will never, ever face any indictment or jury trial. John Durham, Special Counsel, is spending millions to delay, delay, and delay...running out the clock of the statute of limitations, this for the 2016 elections fraud denying Trump another term. Welcome to equal justice under the law.

If she is about to “sing” - she won’t make it to New Years Day. Allow me to be the first to say “she didn’t kill herself” (sorry Hillary)

Did you notice even FOX did not do any followup on who these poor children were being procured for..
Just Epstein and Maxwell sexually abused these kids. They manged to leave off the part about why they did this, the connection to his ability to make money somehow, and who all flew on that plane.

Is it possible that "I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, not a single time" (finger wagging) Billy Jeff could be involved in a sex scandal involving minors? Do you think he is capable of sex crimes against children, and that he would fly to a diabolical island for said perversion? Bill Clinton?
Maybe ;>)

If she is shrewd, and she seems to be, she has many copies of every email, text, flight log, photo, video and audio ever made in any of Epstein’s residences including his jet, which she has spread around to numerous trusted people who will dump them on the public at just the right moment. And that moment is now.

Will she talk to save her skin ? Will she survive in prison ? Will she take a stroll thru Fort Marcy Park ?

Dead woman walking. (not quite a paraphrase of that nun's book, but,, there are too many big people involved, and she has the goods on them.)
If the FBI is willing to devote its full resources to track down a diary kept by Dementia Jo's daughter, Ashley, while she was in drug rehab, imagine what they will do to get their hands on all of Ghislaine's evidence.

I was thinking of a popular woman we all know and love but then I remembered that pigs do not sweat.

Yes, #6, many Nazis once chose Brazil as a safe haven but they did not count on the persistence of Simon Weisenthal.

The judge sealed the files. Why does anyone think there will be a next? The police have the tapes and have talked to all the accusers. They know the whole story, and have buried it. The prosecution knows everything already. They don't need to hear from Ghislaine, who will be buried deep in a prison for the rest of her life.

Nothing else will happen, lending added credence to the adage that behind it all - governments, corporations, wars - the world is actually run by a handful of very rich and powerful people.

Officially, it is over and no one else will be prosecuted. That being said, information has a way of leaking out over the years. The only unknown is how Maxwell will react after she is sentenced to prison with all appeals denied.

It’s over, they are exposing Andy because they can’t do anything to him. They are going to smear the royal family but it doesn’t matter much because Red has done a good job of that already. If she had any docs I think she would have used them. She could be keeping her mouth shut because it’s better than being dead
