Ghislaine Maxwell should be given a new trial after a juror failed to disclose that he suffered sexual abuse that was “remarkably” similar to the victims who testified at trial, her lawyers argued in a court filing late Tuesday. Maxwell’s attorneys pleaded for a new trial for the convicted sex trafficker after Judge Alison Nathan last week grilled juror No. 50, who has been identified by his first and middle names, Scotty David, about how and why he omitted during jury selection that he had been the victim of childhood sexual abuse. “If there is one thing we learned from Juror 50 at the Hearing, it is this: he should never have been a member of this jury,” Maxwell’s attorneys wrote.
