Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and business partner of Jeffrey Epstein, went on trial Monday in New York City.  Journalists, attorneys and alleged victims filled the courtroom.  

Sketches show Judge Alison Nathan instructing the newly sworn-in jury on what’s ahead. The jurors will hear testimony from alleged victims, family members, former Epstein employees and law enforcement agents.  

Ms. Maxwell, 59, faces six counts surrounding the accusations that she facilitated the sexual exploitation of minors on behalf of the disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell two years ago.
