that individual is jeffrey epstein, and he's deceased now. now, perhaps there were people who might have played a role in the conspiracy, but prosecutors don't have a huge incentive. i'm not sure what the utility would be in trying to get cooperation out of her. what will happen now? certainly she's going to appeal, and that is her right as a defendant. she can, but we know prosecutors will point out all the things that aggravate this, make this an incredibly serious crime. the vulnerability of the young victims will play into sentencing here. prosecutors will ask -- and moreover, she's going to be in prison this entire time. >> all right. thanks to all of you. we'll have more on this breaking story just ahead. >>> plus, in the meantime, covid confusion is growing as omicron cases keep spiking. stand by for a new forecast of the weeks ahead. ow! i'm ok! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ only in theaters december 17th. ready to turn your dreams into plans and your actions into achievements? explore over 75 pro

there was also this pilot, the former pilot of jeffrey epstein who testified he had been a pilot for ebrities on board the plane including bill clinton, donald trump before he was president, prince andrew, maine senator george mitchell, ohio senator john glenn and also the actor kevin spacey. he said he never saw any type of activity involving sex on the airplanes for jeffrey epstein. he said that he never saw any sex toys, never saw the young women on the plane being disrobed or anything like that, but he also said that the pilot door was closed a lot of the time. the cockpit door. so it is unclear what went on these airplanes, but obviously the passenger logs, anderson, are key to the investigation so they can try to figure out who was on these planes, who might have been a part of this sex trafficking ring that ghislaine maxwell was allegedly involved with jeffrey epstein. but i should also note, anderson, none of the high-profile passengers who we mentioned are alleged to have done anything wrong or have any involvement in this case, this ongoing trial right now, anderson. >> and

and he had only -- jeffrey epstein was responsible for the abuse of these then girls, now women that as was alluded to, that going after these accusers is risky. and i think it backfired. i think questioning the memory and the motivation really hurt the defense and i am not sure that was such a good strategy. and then, lastly, and i am sure this was talked about, while maxwell certainly has a right -- constitutional right not to testify -- i think some of the jurors were probably wondering well if she is really innocent, why doesn't she get up and tell the world about it? >> yeah. all right. well, jennifer, alan, thanks so much for your time. appreciate those insights. fascinating case, we will see what happens next. thank so much for your time. >>> up next. why russia's vladimir putin asked for a phone call with president biden and whether they'll talk about the military buildup along the border with ukraine. i always dreamed of having kids of my own. ♪ ♪ now i'm ready for someone to call me mom. at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your drea

the three-week trial included key testimony from four women who alleged jeffrey epstein sexua sexually abused them and maxwell not only helped facilitate but in some cases participated in that abuse between 1994 and 2004. the women at the time were younger than 18. >> maxwell was among epstein's closest associates, and helped him exploit girls who were as young as 14 years old. >> reporter: maxwell was found guilty of the most serious charge of sex trafficking a girl named carolyn between 2001 and 2004 when she was a minor, and just 14 years old. carolyn had told the court that she was paid hundreds of dollars every time she engaged with a sexualized massage with epstein, and recruited other young girls for him. carolyn recalled on the stand how maxwell groped her naked body on one visit when she was just 14. telling her she had a great body for epstein and his friends. in court, defense attorneys tried to suggest carolyn made inconsistent statements about her timeline, but it seems the jury didn't buy that. another woman identified at trial only as jane testified she was 14 when she e

so that can tell you something about the relationship between miss maxwell and the lead jeffrey epstein. however, so this trial was groundbreaking. why? because as you mentioned, there was actually not much hope that after the suicide of jeffrey have seen the victim see a day of justice. but here it was 40 hours of deliberation, and of deliberations for the jury. 16 questions were asked to clarify evidence in this and that, and that you have it the verdicts 5 count guilty in 5 counts out of 6. and miss maxwell is looking at potentially for 65 years in prison. this case is being watched very closely in the us and around the globe. how has the breeding been received where you are well, from the you heard from the attorney how significant this try was there is no, not yet a lot of reaction out there. of course, all the networks in the united states are tackling this now and, and reporting that the verdict is in and do a little bit of a deep dive into this relationship, maxwell and epstein and so on. but of course, this was the most important thing is we should forget, this is for the victi

this was more than jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell. order to bring other people to justice, you would need a couple of things. first of all, a how that you could charge under. federal law in the united states generally doesn't cover simply sexual assault. you need some interstate transportation or interstate enticement aspect of it. that was present for maxwell, but not for men who had sex with underage women. you need to make sure the state laws that have not expired. we have statutes of limitations which say prosecutors only have a certain amount of time to try cases. and the third thing, and the most important thing you would need is prosecutors who are committed and willing to do this. you know, you would need a commitment from state prosecutors, federal prosecutors that we are going to go after these people and hold them accountable. could maxwell flip? maybe. she could try. it's hard now that she's been convicted. but i worked at the southern district of new york, but it has to go both ways. she has to come clean and the southern

a second woman who says that jeffrey epstein sexually abused her has been testifying in the ghislainems maxwell, who was a close confidant of epstein, has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of sex trafficking and other charges. jeffrey epstein, who was a convicted sex offender, died in a new york prison cell in 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges in a federal case. we have been following events in court. kate's age was a real issue of contention between the prosecution and the defence. she was 17 at the time of the alleged abuse, which is the age of consent in britain. and so the judge instructed the jury that any of the sex acts she testified about were not to be considered illegal acts. instead, the prosecution really used her to lay out their argument about how ghislaine maxwell really was central to jeffrey epstein�*s world, and specifically, this effort of grooming young girls for sexual abuse. and so, kate detailed how she first met ghislaine maxwell at 17 years old at her townhome in london. she went there for tea and she said they immediately really felt at eas

that the witnesses, the victims, have changed their story according to the defense lawyers after jeffrey epsteinom the epstein compensation fund. >> what about the the invocation of donald trump, the pilot mentioned him. and then one of the girls as well. he was not the only famous figure mentioned of course. epstein had relationships with lots of very famous people. tell me about the context for that. >> so the i think they're laying a foundation -- i mean we'll wait to see. but one of the things that the psychologist, the expert psychologist on child predation talked about was the fact that predators of children often hide behind sort of very powerful people, that this is exactly what makes them so manipulative and intimidating to the children that they're abuseding. so i think that it's in in context that you're hearing about all these very famous people. the defense on the other hand seems to be using the very famous people for a different purpose. they are talking about how important jeffrey epstein was in a different way. they call him a modern james bond. >> vicky ward, the podcast is cha
