The juror who has thrown Ghislaine Maxwell’s guilty verdict into question did not disclose in his pre-trial jury questionnaire that he was a victim of childhood sexual abuse, it was revealed Thursday. Juror No.50’s questionnaire, which was just unsealed as part of new court documents filed in the case, answered “no” to questions that asked whether he or his close friends and family had been accused of — or were victims of — sexual harassments, abuse or assault. The questionnaire was made public as an attachment to Maxwell’s motion for a new trial, which highlighted the juror’s answers as the reason why she deserves to be retried. “Most importantly, Juror No.50 answered ‘no’ when asked in Question 48 if he had ever been the victim of victim of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual assault, including actual or attempted sexual assault or other unwanted sexual advance, including by a stranger, acquaintance, supervisor, teacher, or family member,” the motion states.
