July 14 (UPI) — Ghislaine Maxwell, a friend of late financier Jeffrey Epstein, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in a New York court to charges she conspired to traffic minors.
During her appearance by video at a Manhattan federal courthouse, the British socialite denied that she helped Epstein sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls as young as 14 from 1994 to 1997.
Maxwell, 58, faces eight counts, including conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sexual acts, conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and perjury.
