An attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell has filed a motion requesting a new trial, according to a letter to US District Judge Alison Nathan filed Wednesday.
The motion is under seal. The letter from attorney Bobbi Sternheim also requests that all documents pertaining to"Juror. No. 50" remain under seal until the court rules on the motion.
The request for a new trial comes after a member of the jury who convicted Maxwell gave post-trial interviews saying he had been sexually abused as a child. He said he shared his own story with fellow jurors during deliberations and that it helped influence their decision. Jurors were explicitly asked on jury questionnaire forms if they had been sexually abused and, if so, if it would impact their abilities to be impartial while deliberating. It is unclear how the juror in question answered the question on the form. CNN's request for a copy of his questionnaire was denied by prosecutors, who said they were"not public information."
