Ghislaine Maxwell - Can Avoid Perjury Charges if No Retrial
Prosecutors say the U.S. government will agree to drop pending perjury charges against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell if her sex trafficking case goes to sentencing later this year
BBC News 11 JAN 2022.
The U.S. government is willing to dismiss two perjury charges against Ghislaine Maxwell—which were separated from sexual abuse charges—if her conviction for facilitating the abuse of young girls by late financier Jeffrey Epstein is allowed to stand
According to a joint letter Monday from prosecutors and Maxwell’s legal team, who are pushing for a retrial after a juror revealed he shared personal experiences of sexual abuse during deliberations.
The offer was made in a letter to a judge filed jointly late Monday by the prosecutors and Maxwell’s attorneys in federal court in Manhattan. The defense countered by asking that questions about the perjury charges be put off until the judge rules on its request for a new trial.
