‘I never thought this day would come’: Ghislaine Maxwell accuser arrives at court as trial gets underway
Sarah Ransome, one of the women who have accused the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell of abuse, arrived at court as Ms Maxwell’s trial was set to begin.
“I never thought this day would come,” she told reporters outside the courthouse in New York City on Monday.
Ms Maxwell faces up to 80 years in prison if she’s found guilty. She stands accused of recruiting and grooming four underage girls for Epstein between 1994 and 2004. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial on charges of sex abuse.
