[Watch] Lucia Osborne-Crowley on the Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell

Watch journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley share a rare insight into the blockbuster trial of Ghislaine Maxwell with host Louise Milligan.

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 exposé that amplifies the voices of Maxwell’s victims and interrogates a hamstrung criminal justice system.

In this urgent conversation with Louise Milligan, 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.
