NEW YORK - The judge in British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's sex abuse trial on Friday set a sentencing date of June 28 but said she is still weighing Maxwell's request to overturn her conviction because of concerns about a juror's conduct.
Maxwell's lawyers said last week they would request a new trial after one of the jurors in the case told Reuters and other media that he shared his experience of being sexually abused as a child during deliberations, and that his account helped sway jurors who were skeptical of Maxwell's accusers. The juror, who asked to be identified by his first and middle names, Mr Scotty David, said he did not remember seeing the question. He said he was not asked about any personal experiences with sexual abuse during follow-up questioning in November by Ms Nathan.
