NEW YORK, Dec 28 ― Jurors in British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's sex abuse trial deliberated for a third full day yesterday without reaching a verdict, after reviewing the testimony of one of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's personal pilots.
Jurors yesterday asked US District Judge Alison Nathan to review the account of David Rodgers, who testified on December 8 that on several occasions in the 1990s, he flew Epstein's private jet with Epstein, Maxwell and an individual known by the pseudonym Jane on board. Her case is at the heart of two of the six counts Maxwell faces: enticing a minor to travel for illegal sexual activity and transporting a minor for illegal sex acts.
Jurors yesterday asked Nathan for a definition of the word “enticement” and for the transcript of the testimony of Jane's ex-boyfriend. The questions indicated they were scrutinizing her account, as well as the details of the charges based on it.
