NEW YORK — Ghislaine Maxwell will not get a new trial because of a juror’s failure to disclose during jury selection that he was sexually abused as a child, a judge ruled Friday.
Manhattan Federal Court Judge Alison Nathan found that Scotty David’s crucial omission at the beginning of the trial — which he revealed to news outlets after the guilty verdict — was not intentional.
“His failure to disclose his prior sexual abuse during the jury selection process was highly unfortunate, but not deliberate,” Nathan wrote.
