Accomplice of disgraced liberal financier Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, was found guilty Wednesday on five of the six sex trafficking counts against her.

Prosecutors argued “Maxwell and Epstein were a wealthy couple who used their privilege to prey on kids from struggling families,” according to CNN. “The way that they selected these girls tells you that they were targeting vulnerable kids. It is not an accident that Jane and Kate and Annie and Carolyn all came from single-mother households."

“She was a sophisticated predator who knew exactly what she was doing,” prosecutor Alison Moe said, according to the New York Post. “When you’re with someone for 11 years, you know what they like.”

Maxwell faced six federal charges in relation to allegedly grooming four girls during the 1990’s and into the 2000’s; three counts of conspiracy, sex trafficking of minors, enticing a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. Maxwell pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Not only were the girls abused and trafficked but they were subjected to forced abortions when impregnated.

One victim who was raped by paedophile Jeffrey Epstein said he pressured her into aborting her unborn baby and then threatened her if she told. Epstein, who had connections to British royalty, former President Bill Clinton and other powerful figures, was at the centre of the case along with Maxwell.

“Jane Doe,” one of their many alleged victims, said she was drugged and raped by both Epstein and Maxwell, starting when she was 14 years old, Newsweek reports. Doe is involved in a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate.

“She did rape me,” Doe told Fox News. “I would say it’s more than 20 or 30 times. She is just as evil as Jeffrey Epstein. She is a rapist.”

Doe said the abuse began in 1991 in Florida. When she was 16, Doe said she became pregnant by Epstein and was pressured into aborting her unborn baby, the Metro reports.

“I had never been with anyone except for him,” she said. “The fact that I had to kill my child really affected me and my family.”

After aborting her unborn child, Doe said she was gang-raped as a final punishment and then threatened with a gun.

“Ghislaine was a part of it and Jeffrey Epstein was a part of it and I was drugged, gang raped and left on the lawn and they put a gun to me,” she told Fox News. “The man that drove me home said … I would never come back alive if I spoke about it.”

To many, the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell set a precedent.

It meant that even the elite can be held to account for their crimes.

Now, it appears that eight more men possibly involved in the crimes of convicted sex offender and accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein will be held to account.
