Maxwell prosecutors: ?sexualized? photo of young girl displayed outside Epstein bedroom

Ghislaine Maxwell's child-sex trafficking trial took a shocking turn Friday when prosecutors brought one of Jeffrey Epstein's infamous massage tables into the courtroom.

By bringing this green, folding table into the courtroom, and then expanding it, prosecutors are working to bolster allegations that Epstein and Maxwell sexually abused teen girls under the pretext of giving him a massage.

The prosecution also revealed that "sexually suggestive photograph of a very young girl" was displayed outside Epstein's bedroom at his Palm Beach mansion. "Schoolgirl" costumes were also recovered during a search of Epstein's Manhattan home.

Epstein, the wealthy financier whose acquaintances included Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, killed himself at a New York City jail in August 2019, while awaiting his own sex-trafficking trial.

Maxwell, 59, his former girlfriend and the daughter of the late British publishing baron Robert Maxwell, was arrested in July 2020 at a luxurious New Hampshire estate. She denies all the charges against her.

Gregory Parkinson, a former police officer who helmed the search of Epstein's Palm Beach estate in October 2005, was questioned about what was within the home. He walked jurors through a video of this search, and answered questions about still images presented on-screen.

"Mr Parkinson, what is the green object?" the prosecution asked in reference to one photo.
