Ghislaine Maxwell has been found guilty of recruiting and trafficking young girls to be sexually abused by the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The 60-year-old was found guilty on five of the six counts she faced - including the most serious charge, that of sex trafficking a minor.
The verdict was reached after five full days of deliberation by a 12-person jury in New York.
It means the British socialite could spend the rest of her life behind bars.
The verdict followed a month-long trial that featured testimony from four women who described being abused by Epstein between 1994 and 2004.
Maxwell showed no visible sign of emotion as the verdict was read out on Wednesday, only pouring herself a glass of water which she sipped from twice.
Shortly after the verdict, her legal team said they were already working on an appeal. "We firmly believe in Ghislaine's innocence," her lawyer, Bobbi Sternheim, told reporters.

She wants mercy... she best starts talking and backing it up with proof. And no chump info, big fish.
Breaking hours and hours ago.
I just got the alert on my phone 🤣
There was a plea agreement though. She agreed not to talk about the Clintons and the Clintons agreed to let her live.
She isn’t going to last a month is she?
Hopefully, she knows what was on the hard drives in the safe that the Feebles deliberately bricked - and that those were just bait to protect The Real Deal.
Better get a phone with Free Republic on it then.
If she sings, she’ll be dead within hours of getting out of prison.
She may be dead anyway.
Yep, there were over 20,000 photos and vids taken from Epsteins house. None were entered into evidence. The unredacted flight logs are under seal of the court. The jury only got to see the redacted copies ( with 90 percent of stuff blacked out ). To top it all off, one of the three lead prosecutors on the team is Comey's daughter. You might as well have had Hillary being the prosecutor. No evidence of the Clintons or any Dem will see the light
Talk to whom? The feds who covered it up? The media who downplayed the significance and shifted the focus to other topics? Maybe the powerful people who only stand to be brought down by the truth will help her tell the whole story.
The "little black book" has been out in the open for years, celebrity and political heavyweight names are right there. The only name on that list that will ever get a question about it in mainstream media will be Trump, and the media would probably be too afraid to let him respond to ask him directly. Nobody else will get a mention unless maybe someone strays from the reservation too far (like possibly Dershowitz).
WHY in the hell are the victims not coming forward??
Short stint in prison for appearances sake and then retires in Israel with honors.
Their life would be in danger with the crowd they were hanging with.....powerful people have their connections as we all know.
Maxwell’s a ‘hot potato’...I suspect playing both sides getting passed around to talk and or shut her mouth.
There is one that came forward. She was the one pressing charges.
Because they wanted to be there.
If she’s smart, and she is despite her idiotic choice of professions, she’ll have a list of johns in a safe place to be publicized if anything happens to her. Arkancide insurance.
