Day 2 of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial begins

(30 Nov 2021) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4355442 A longtime pilot for Jeffrey Epstein is resuming his testimony on day two of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. Her attorneys Laura Menninger and Jeffrey Pagliuca were seen arriving and entering a Manhattan federal court Tuesday. Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents several alleged Epstein victims, spoke to The Associated Press outside the courthouse: "I thought yesterday was a very strong day for the prosecution. You know, as an attorney for sexual abuse survivors, myself, I think that the prosecution, very clearly and concisely, laid out their case: that there are four victims here. That Elaine Maxwell knew everything that Jeffrey Epstein was doing, that she trafficked these women, that she was a part of all of it," she said. Maxwell is charged with helping the financier find teenage girls to sexually abuse. Pilot Lawrence Paul Visoski Jr. testified Tuesday that Ghislaine Maxwell was the "Number 2" in the hierarchy of Epstein's world. He says Epstein was Number 1. The 59-year-old Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges. Her lawyer says she's being made a scapegoat for Epstein's bad behavior. Visoski testified briefly on Monday before beginning Tuesday on the witness stand. So far, prosecutors have used his testimony to show jurors pictures of Epstein's homes.
