Step behind the scenes with journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley for a rare insight into the blockbuster trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. Lucia Osborne-Crowley was one of only four court reporters admitted into the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, where she bore daily witness to the onslaught of evidence brought against Maxwell for sex-trafficking minors and abetting Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses.
Maxwell’s trial and ultimate conviction is carefully detailed and powerfully reported in Osborne-Crowley’s new book The Lasting Harm – an investigative expose that amplifies the voices of Maxwell’s victims and interrogates a hamstrung criminal justice system.
In this urgent conversation with human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, Osborne-Crowley brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment, and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.
