Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, whose long-time relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein led to her arrest on charges she recruited and groomed his victims, are seeking the case’s dismissal on grounds the grand jury chosen to indict her is too white.
Legal experts said the move was valid, even though Ms Maxwell is not a minority.
In pre-trial motions, her legal team said the grand jury empanelled last year in suburban Westchester County was improperly seated and lacked diversity.
They said Manhattan, where the case is pending in federal court and where there is a higher concentration of minorities, should have been the venue.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, the wealthy socialite whose longtime relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein led to her arrest on charges she recruited and groomed his victims, are seeking the case s dismissal on grounds the grand jury chosen to indict her was too white - a move legal experts called valid even though Maxwell is not a minority. In pretrial motions filed late Monday night, Maxwell s legal team said the grand jury empanelled last year in suburban Westchester County was improperly seated and lacked diversity - and that Manhattan, where the case is pending in federal court and where there is a higher concentration of minorities, should have been the venue.
