NEW YORK (AP) — A juror in the sex trafficking trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell says his failure to reveal his own child sex abuse history during jury selection was one of the biggest mistakes of his life. The juror’s revelation has jeopardized the conviction of Maxwell on charges she helped Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. The juror expressed regret while responding to a judge’s questions in Manhattan federal court Tuesday. He says he skimmed the questions too quickly. Maxwell’s lawyers say the verdict should be thrown out. The judge didn’t immediately rule. Maxwell’s sentencing is scheduled for June. She says she’s innocent.
