The weeks-long process of selecting a jury for the federal sex trafficking trial of financier Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, has begun in the US.

Maxwell has said she is innocent of charges alleging that she recruited teenagers who were not yet adults for Epstein to sexually abuse from 1994 to 2004, Judge Alison J Nathan told 132 prospective jurors.
