The ex-boyfriend of someone involved in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial has given testimony

The man’s ex-girlfriend, Carolyn, “worked for Jeffrey” between the ages of 14 and 18.

He told the court on Wednesday that she performed sex acts on paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

He testified that he would often drive Carolyn and other underage female friends to Epstein’s mansion, and they would return with one hundred dollars.

Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

She is accused of grooming teenage girls for abuse by the late Epstein between 19-94 and 2004.

Maxwell faces up to 80 years in prison if convicted on counts of sex trafficking and perjury, however her defence lawyers have said she is being scapegoated for Epstein’s crimes.
