		</div><p>Prospective jurors have got their first glimpse of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite charged with helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls and women, when a judge began questioning them individually.</p>
<p>Wearing a black suit, Maxwell hugged her lawyers when she entered the courtroom and briefly sketched a courtroom artist who was drawing her.</p>
<p>Judge Alison J Nathan’s questions in Manhattan federal court were aimed at seeing if potential jurors could stay impartial in the case against Maxwell.</p>
<p>Judge Nathan sat about 10ft away from each prospective juror as they were put in the jury box to sit alone during questioning for about 10 to 15 minutes each.</p>
<p>The 12 jurors and six alternatives who will hear the case will not be chosen until November 29 when opening statements will begin.</p>
<p>Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to charges she groomed under-age girls to have unwanted sex with Epstein. She has denies wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Epstein was arrested in 2019 but the case against him took a shocking turn when the financier and convicted sex offender killed himself while awaiting trial.</p>
<p>After Epstein’s death, prosecutors turned their sights on Maxwell, his ex-girlfriend.</p>
<p>The wealthy, Oxford-educated socialite is the daughter of British publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, who died in 1991 after falling off his yacht — named the Lady Ghislaine — near the Canary Islands while facing allegations he had illegally looted his businesses’ pension funds.</p>
<p>Ghislaine Maxwell holds US, British and French citizenships and was repeatedly denied bail in the run-up to her trial.</p>
