Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after a Manhattan jury convicted her in December 2021 on five charges for recruiting and grooming four girls for abuse by Epstein between 1994 and 2004.
At Maxwell’s trial, the accusers said Maxwell and Epstein at first made them feel welcome in their orbit before subjecting them into giving Epstein sexualized massages. Epstein, in exchange for immunity, pleaded guilty in 2008 to a Florida state prostitution charge and served 13 months in jail. That arrangement is now widely considered too lenient.
“Ample evidence” showed that the juror known as Scotty David or Juror 50 “harbored actual bias,” including his inability to separate his past from the evidence, and his statement that the verdict was “for all the victims,” Maxwell’s lawyers said.Prosecutors were accused of having “joined forces” with lawyers representing accusers who were seeking damages in civil litigation “to develop new allegations” against Maxwell.
