Accusers Take the Stand: Ghislaine Maxwe...

iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline
About this episode

The sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell continues. The wealthy socialite is accused of being a central player in Jeffrey Epstein’s decades of sexual abuse of minors. Defense attorneys say Maxwell is a scapegoat taking the fall for a man’s misdeeds. The defense portrays Maxwell as a victim, and the accusers as basically in it for the money Epstein’s estate set aside for victims of his abuse after his death. The first witness of the trial was Lawrence Paul Visoski Jr., who worked as a pilot shuttling Epstein. Now, one by one, the accusers take the stand.
