The jury at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial asked for transcripts of testimony given by three women who say she groomed them as young as 13 to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

The jury at the trial of the British millionaire had written to the judge asking for the transcripts of the trial. One of the women who testified without using her real first or last name is known as Jane. The other two women used their first names only.

After hearing closing arguments and instructions from Nathan on the law, the jury began deliberations late Monday afternoon, but went home for the day soon afterwards.

The three girls who were allegedly recruited by Maxwell for abuse by the man who killed himself in a Manhattan federal jail in August are still alive.

In closing arguments, the assistant U.S. Attorney said that he was dangerous.

The predator that was called by Moe was a sophisticated predator.

After several weeks of evidence and testimony, prosecutors had failed to prove their case against her, so she did not testify at the trial.

Laura Menninger told jurors that her client was an innocent woman.

Since her arrest in July 2020, she has been held without bail.
