      A New York jury on Wednesday found British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of child sex trafficking and four other counts in connection with her procurement and grooming of minors to be abused by her close friend, the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

      "The verdict screams loud and clear--if you make it easier for another to sexually abuse children, you, too, will be held accountable for your role in that abuse."

      The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell which began this week in Manhattan will not hold to account the powerful and wealthy men who are also complicit in the sexual assaults of girls as young as twelve Maxwell allegedly procured for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

      With last year's jailhouse suicide of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein--the billionaire and politically influential investor who killed himself after being arrested on federal sex trafficking charges--still looming in the air, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday said that the safety of his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, must be assured after Maxwell's arrest for allegedly aiding and abetting Epstein's criminal operation by grooming and recruiting underage girls for exploitation.

      \u201cMaxwell\u2019s arrest is a significant development.\n\nI hope the SDNY and all relevant parties have conducted an extensive review of the failures of Epstein\u2019s custody to ensure Maxwell\u2019s safety as this case bears out.\u201d
