The defense in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking trial began its case Thursday with a former office worker for Jeffrey Epstein testifying she did not witness any sexual misconduct by the disgraced ex-financier or the British socialite during the six years she worked for them.

Cimberly Espinosa, 55, also told jurors that “Jane,” one of Epstein’s youngest accusers, visited his New York office “a few times” in the late 1990s and said Jane’s mother had told workers that she was Epstein’s goddaughter. Because of that, Jane was treated with the “utmost respect,” Espinosa said, adding that Jane’s interactions with Epstein gave her the impression that the two had a “loving relationship.”
