Ghislaine Maxwell trial begins in New York City

Barnini Chakraborty reports on the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell in New York City.
Opening arguments began Monday afternoon in the high-profile trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and former confidante of Jeffrey Epstein , accused of helping him recruit, groom, and sexually abuse young women.
Maxwell, 59, is the daughter of the late British media mogul Robert Maxwell and faces six counts of trafficking-related charges, including enticing minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts. She is also accused of conspiracy, including using one of Epstein's alleged victims to recruit other girls to participate in "paid sex acts with Epstein." She's also charged with perjury for allegedly lying under oath during depositions in a civil lawsuit against her.
