However, the question of whether a potential juror was a victim of sexual abuse or a relative or friend of a victim was asked in the 50-question survey completed by each juror ahead of selection. David said he went into the trial firmly believing that Maxwell was ‘innocent until proven guilty' and viewing the victims with a skeptical eye. But, he said, 'After all I've learned, she's just as guilty as Epstein. | don't want to call her a monster, but a predator is the right word. ‘She knew what was happening. She knew what Epstein was doing and she allowed it to happen. She participated in getting these girls comfortable so that he could have his way with them. ‘And, to me, them returning repeatedly for the money has nothing to do with anything because these girls were minors, and it doesn't matter what incentivized them. It matters what happened to them.’ i BD PL) 00200 18:53 || we bxa| |e) <>} Oe https:/Awww.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-103701 93/Ghislaine-Maxwell-juror-says-evidence-convinced-panel-predator.html 2/16 DOJ-OGR-00009855
