Ghislaine Maxwell has been convicted of grooming and trafficking underage girls for financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The British socialite showed no emotion, sipping from a glass of water as she learned her fate.

Four women testified at Maxwell's trial in New York City about the abuse they suffered.

The 60-year-old had pleaded not guilty to all six charges, arguing she was a scapegoat for Epstein.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in August 2019 in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial.

Prosecutors said the former lovers were "partners in crime" running a "pyramid scheme of abuse"

Maxwell is the daughter of disgraced late British media mogul Robert Maxwell.

She has been in a New York jail since her arrest in July last year.
