A Ghislaine Maxwell trial juror whose post-verdict revelation that he had suffered child sex abuse has jeopardized Maxwell's conviction may receive immunity to testify before the judge mulling whether the verdict will stand.
Prosecutors said in a submission to U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan on Wednesday that they were in the process of seeking approvals to offer immunity to the man to compel his testimony at a hearing next Tuesday. They said the immunity offer was considered after the juror's lawyer told the judge that his client planned to invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination at the hearing.
