"От Виктора Петровича Астафьева. Жене. Детям. Внукам. Прочесть после моей смерти. Эпитафия. Я пришёл в мир добрый, родной и любил его безмерно. Ухожу из мира чужого, злобного, порочного. Мне нечего сказать вам на прощанье."

Ghislaine Maxwell’s much-awaited sex trafficking trial in Manhattan will finally go before a jury on Monday, with opening statements. The panel of 12 jurors and six alternates that will weigh Maxwell’s fate was decided around 10am local time.
Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty on six counts related to her alleged involvement in the late financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teen girls, some as young as 14.
The charges include conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex 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, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.
The indictment cites four accusers – referred to as Minor Victim-1, Minor Victim- 2, Minor Victim-3 and Minor Victim-4 – though it is believed more will take the stand.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan federal jail in August 2019, while awaiting trial. Maxwell’s alleged crimes took place from 1994 to 2004, prosecutors have said.
On Monday, throngs of media started gathering outside the courthouse before dawn, in hope of securing a much-coveted seat in court or a place in an overflow viewing room. An Epstein accuser, Sarah Ransome, arrived at the courthouse shortly before proceedings began, telling reporters: “I never thought this day would come.”
Authorities arrested Maxwell, the daughter of the late British press baron Robert Maxwell, on 2 July 2020 at a secretive, expensive estate in the small New Hampshire town of Bradford.
