undoubtedly --? undoubtedly. it is... she shortly not have been in the spotlight in this way, and the defence did make a reasonable argument that she was a scapegoat in this case. however, thejury did not fall for that. we this case. however, the “my did not fan for that.— fall for that. we have heard that the “ail fall for that. we have heard that the jail terms — fall for that. we have heard that the jail terms could _ fall for that. we have heard that the jail terms could be - fall for that. we have heard that the jail terms could be 40 - fall for that. we have heard that the jail terms could be 40 years| fall for that. we have heard that i the jail terms could be 40 years on the jail terms could be 40 years on the most serious of the charges she has been found guilty of it. this would mean ghislaine maxwell spends the rest of her days behind bars. it would, but i am not a lawyer, and you just heard from professor dershowitz, who is more of an expert on these things and i am, and as he says, there is bound to be a round of appeals. even on the grounds that, how should she possibly have... these matters have been publicised world round. {lilia have... these matters have been publicised world round. 0k, nigel cawthorne. _ publicised world round. 0k, nigel cawthorne, thank _ publicised world round. 0k, nigel cawthorne, thank you _ publicised world round. 0k, nigel cawthorne, thank you for - publicised world round. 0k, nigel| cawthorne, thank you for speaking publicised world round. 0k, nigel- cawthorne, thank you for speaking to us on bbc news. in the last few minutes, we've had this statement from the us attorney's office — it says... the us attorneys office goes on to say... let's speak to the prominent us lawyer lisa bloom, who has represented eight women who say they were abused byjeffrey epstein. lisa, just give us a sense, if you can, of how much it takes for a victim of a crime of this sort to summon the courage to go to court and face the person who has put them through such a terrible ordeal. h0 through such a terrible ordeal. no one through such a terrible ordeal. i157 one wants through such a terrible ordeal. its one wants to do it, nobody wants to go to court and testify in a sexual assault trial. most people would even call an attorney, most people willjust somehow managed to live with it. he takes extraordinary courage. not only to go in and testify, in front of a roomful of strangers, but then to be cross—examined for an hour after hour about every detail of their life about the motive of the adding aspects of your life, and that is what for limited in this case —— the most embarrassing. there was no money in it for them. they did it because they wanted to getjustice against ghislaine maxwell, convicted sex trafficker glenn maxwell, i can now say. —— ghislaine maxwell. what now say. -- ghislaine maxwell. what im act now say. -- ghislaine maxwell. what impact does — now say. -- ghislaine maxwell. what impact does it _ now say. -- ghislaine maxwell. what impact does it have _ now say. -- ghislaine maxwell. what impact does it have her _ now say. —— ghislaine maxwell. what impact does it have her other victims of sexual abuse and trafficking, crimes of this nature? what is it —— what does it do in terms of supporting them and wanting to see their abusers face justice? it is their abusers face “ustice? it is tremendously _ theirabusers facejustice? it 3 tremendously inspiring and it lifts up tremendously inspiring and it lifts up all of the survivors of sexual abuse. i can tell you i represent many sexual abuse victims right now, scores and stores of them and some of them have reach out to me and said, maybe i can really win in my case because now i see this is what's happened in elaine maxwell's case. maybe i can endure the slow legal process. whatever it takes, because these women did it. keep in mind, these victims were abused in the 1990s and in the early to thousands. and now it is 2021 for some they been living with this ray long—time. any farmer, the fourth 20 testify to in the trial, was abused —— annie farmer. it was in 1996. all of these years later, finally, we have justice. of these years later, finally, we havejustice. it of these years later, finally, we have justice-— of these years later, finally, we have justice. have “ustice. it took several days of have justice. it took several days ofthe have justice. it took several days of the liberation. _ have justice. it took several days of the liberation. hallak - have justice. it took several days of the liberation. hallak and - have justice. it took several days | of the liberation. hallak and eyes and is that for those who have given evidence —— deliberation, how agonising is that?

it is agonising, l and as a trial attorney myself, that is the hardest part, because i have control over what i say and do in the trial and then all of the evidence is in, closing argument are in and then we just have to wait, and for the victims, it is 100 times worse. all they can do is... i told them to take the faith. i was concerned as the days were dragging on and they were adding more questions and did not reach a decision before christmas, i was concerned, does someone not have reasonable doubt? you need to have unanimity on juries, reasonable doubt? you need to have unanimity onjuries, because if reasonable doubt? you need to have unanimity on juries, because if one person does not decide, you do not have a verdict, so it was definitely an agonising time, but well worth it. but thejury an agonising time, but well worth it. but the jury did a good an agonising time, but well worth it. but thejury did a good job, because they asked for transco after transcript. after see the transcript of almost every witness who testified at the trial. at photos. they looked at everything. they ultimately in my opinion came to the right decision. the ultimately in my opinion came to the right decision-— right decision. the two of them, jeffrey epstein _ right decision. the two of them, jeffrey epstein and _ right decision. the two of them, jeffrey epstein and ghislaine - jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell, these were wealthy people, they moved in influential circles, they moved in influential circles, they were powerful. does this say that, in a matter how wealthy, no matter how well—connected you are, you cannot get away with this sort of thing? does this send a message to people who are survivors of abuse at the hands of people who they think will never be brought to justice, but actually ultimately justice, but actually ultimately justice can be done?— justice, but actually ultimately justice can be done?

the jury saw through it was not they saw you don't have to be a perfect person to come forward with a claim of sexual abuse. and especially when there are four women with similar stories, i think that is what really sealed it for them. {lilia stories, i think that is what really sealed it for them.— stories, i think that is what really sealed it for them. 0k, lisa bloom, us lawyer. — sealed it for them. 0k, lisa bloom, us lawyer. thank — sealed it for them. 0k, lisa bloom, us lawyer, thank you _ sealed it for them. 0k, lisa bloom, us lawyer, thank you very - sealed it for them. 0k, lisa bloom, us lawyer, thank you very much - us lawyer, thank you very much indeed. just a reminder of our breaking news that the british socialite ghislaine maxwell has been convicted of facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of teenage girls. the case against ghislaine maxwell has raised questions about her friendship with prince andrew. the duke of york, who is facing a separate civil court case in the united states, was mentioned by prosecution witnesses in claims about maxwell and her relationship with jeffrey epstein. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. caught by the camera in this now infamous photograph, on the left, prince andrew, in the centre, the then 17—year—old virginia roberts and on the right, smiling for the camera, ghislaine maxwell. andrew's friendship with ghislaine maxwell goes back more than 20 years. here he is with her injune 2000, at the time, she wasjeffrey epstein's girlfriend. epstein was there as well. he too was a guest of prince andrew. andrew spoke about his friendship with epstein and his girlfriend, ghislaine maxwell, in his newsnight interview. into 2000, e stein was his newsnight interview. into 2000, epstein was a _ his newsnight interview. into 2000, epstein was a guest _ his newsnight interview. into 2000, epstein was a guest at _ his newsnight interview. into 2000, epstein was a guest at windsor - epstein was a guest at windsor castle and at sandringham. he was brought right into the heart of the royal family at your invitation. but certainly in _ royal family at your invitation. but certainly in my invitation, not at the royal— certainly in my invitation, not at the royal family's invitation, but remember— the royal family's invitation, but remember that it was his girlfriend that was— remember that it was his girlfriend that was the key element in this. he was, _ that was the key element in this. he was, as— that was the key element in this. he was, as it _ that was the key element in this. he was, as it were, the plus one to some extent. was, as it were, the plus one to some extent-— was, as it were, the plus one to some extent. and irate in thinking ou threw some extent. and irate in thinking you threw a _ some extent. and irate in thinking you threw a birthday _ some extent. and irate in thinking you threw a birthday for _ some extent. and irate in thinking you threw a birthday for epstein'sl you threw a birthday for epstein's girlfriend, ghislaine maxwell, at sandringham?
