Ghislaine Maxwell is facing life behind bars after a New York jury found her guilty of sex trafficking underaged girls for the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to abuse.

Maxwell, who turned 60 in prison over the weekend, was found guilty of sex trafficking and four other charges against her, but was acquitted of one count of enticing a minor to travel across state lines to engage in an illegal sexual act.
