Ghislaine Maxwell has formally asked a federal judge to grant her a new trial, contending in a sealed court filing that one of the jurors who decided her fate failed to disclose his own history of childhood sexual abuse.

Maxwell, the former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted of sex trafficking charges less than a month ago. Her attorneys are seeking a new trial due to questions over a jury member.

Maxwell's lawyers, who structured her defense case largely on challenges to the reliability of her accusers' memories, contend that if the juror had disclosed his history of child sexual abuse during jury screening, he almost certainly would have been removed from consideration.

Ghislaine Maxwell requests new trial after juror interviewsGhislaine Maxwell has formally requested a new trial, less than a month after her conviction on sex trafficking charges. Hello GhislaineMaxwell’s guilt has absolutely nothing to do with childhood trauma of a juror. If anything, qualifies the juror even more, knowing exactly how detrimental GM actions really were. Absurd & offensive argument for a retrial. Tasteless & evil. Just like the convicted felon. NO. NAME THE JOHNS.

Ghislaine Maxwell requests new sex abuse trial amid concerns over juror's revelationGhislaine Maxwell's lawyers filed a formal request Wednesday for a new trial after raising concerns over a juror's possible failure to disclose that he had been sexually abused as a child. I'd argue that it's hard to find someone that hasn't been sexually abused in some form or fashion. It's rampant in this country. Ghislaine : 'Hey I think I fucked that kid!' Juror possibly had suppressed his abuse & the horror of the trial could have brought it all back for him.!!!
