Brother of Ghislaine Maxwell says crimes against Epstein accusers 'were not committed by my sister.'
A jury found Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, guilty on five counts of aiding Epstein in his abuse.The brother of Ghislaine Maxwell says that he denies any possibility that his sister is guilty of the sex trafficking crimes she was convicted of on Wednesday.
Kevin Maxwell sat through his sister's trial for a substantial portion of the proceedings, often accompanied by her other siblings, Isabel, Christine and Ian. Less than 24 hours after his sister was convicted, he told ABC News that he was"still shocked" at the verdict in what he described as a"tremendous injustice."
"The reality is that there are myriad jury cases, miscarriages of justice involving juries, where the verdicts have been overturned on appeal. This will just be yet another one," Maxwell said."Because of the, we think, very strong legal grounds and evidential grounds for the appeal, obviously that has to wait for sentencing, so it's some way off, but the work is already in hand and we're very confident," he said.
"There's no, simply no, question that there are many victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes," Maxwell said."They're simply not crimes that were committed by my sister."Siblings of Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell leave a New York City courthouse after a jury convicted Maxwell on five of six counts related to the abuse and trafficking of underage girls, Dec, 29, 2021.
