The US government has rested its case against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell in her sex-trafficking trial.

The 59-year-old, who was labelled “dangerous” and a “predator” by the prosecution, is accused of luring vulnerable young girls to massage rooms to be molested by Jeffrey Epstein between 1994 and 2004.
