A trial juror whose post-verdict revelation that he suffered child sex abuse has jeopardised British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction may receive immunity to give evidence before the judge mulling whether the verdict will stand.

Prosecutors said in a submission to US District Judge Alison J Nathan on Wednesday that they were in the process of seeking approvals to offer immunity to the man to compel his testimony at a hearing next Tuesday.
