Ghislaine Maxwell prosecutors ask judge for inquiry into juror

6. The jurors were required to fill out questionnaires, which included whether they were ever victims

of sexual abuse or harassment. The juror in question apparently left that out.

That juror then convinced others, from their own experience as a sexual abuse survivor, that incomplete memories could still be credible, per the AP.

In interviews published Tuesday and Wednesday by The Independent and the Daily Mail, one juror described a moment during the deliberations when he told fellow jurors in Maxwell’s trial that, like some of the victims of the late financier Epstein, he had been sexually abused as a child. And he said he convinced other jurors that a victim’s imperfect memory of sex abuse doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

“I know what happened when I was sexually abused. I remember the color of the carpet, the walls. Some of it can be replayed like a video,” he said he told the jury, according to The Independent. “But I can’t remember all the details, there are some things that run together.”
