Trials and Testimony

Who were the key witnesses at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial?

The government called four Jane Doe witnesses who testified about being recruited and abused as minors as part of Jeffrey Epstein’s network.

Jane “Carolyn”: Testified she was recruited at approximately age 14, gave massages to Epstein at his Palm Beach residence, and was paid cash. She said she met Maxwell, who touched her body in a way that felt like evaluation. She later published a memoir as Carolyn Andriano.

Jane “Jane”: Described being recruited at 14 while at summer camp, being flown on Epstein’s plane to his properties, and abuse that began when she was a minor. She was one of the most detailed witnesses on the progression of the abuse.

Jane “Liz”: Testified about being recruited at approximately 16, experiences at Epstein’s Palm Beach estate, and Maxwell’s direct involvement in normalizing the abuse.

Jane “Kate”: Testified about events in New York and on Epstein’s properties, including interactions with Maxwell.

Non-victim Witnesses: The government also called flight attendants, house staff, and former employees who corroborated the presence of young girls at Epstein properties and Maxwell’s role in the operations. Financial investigators and FBI agents testified about records, payments, and logistics.

The defense called fewer witnesses. Maxwell did not testify.
