Former collaborator and lover of financier Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, pleaded Tuesday not guilty of trafficking in minors and inciting prostitution during a hearing at the federal court in Manhattan.

A jet-set personality, Ghislaine Maxwell is accused of having recruited young girls, some of them minors, for Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison in August 2019. She is said to have participated directly in the attacks, and risks up to 35 years of prison if convicted.
