A U.S. judge has refused to throw out Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking conviction, despite a juror’s failure to disclose that he’d been a victim of childhood sexual abuse.

The U.S. attorney’s office declined comment. Messages were left with Maxwell’s attorneys.

Epstein killed himself in August 2019 as he awaited trial at a federal jail in New York on related sex trafficking charges.After the trial’s conclusion, the juror, identified in court papers only as Juror No. 50, gave interviews with several media outlets describing deliberations, and disclosing that he’d been abused as a child. He said he persuaded some fellow jurors that a victim’s imperfect memory of abuse doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I absolutely agree with the Judge's decision, but I have to wonder if it would have been the same if it had been a man convicted. I would hope so.

And...?

Why are the cameras not allowed to show us what's happening? You guys butt into every one else's business when they're having a trial. But this one, we just have to listen and believe whatever you tell us. WIth the 'who's who list' she's connected to. Just seems a little odd. 🤔

Lock her up. Throw away the key.

Strange wording there . Almost like you were rooting for her.
