The New York federal court reached the verdict after five full days of deliberation by a 12-person jury. Similarly, the verdict followed a month-long trial that featured testimony from four women who described being abused by Jeffrey between 1994 and 2004.

When the jury read the verdict out on 29th December 2021, Ghislaine did not show any emotion just poured herself a glass of water which she sipped twice.
