Fact check: How many victims of Jeffrey Epstein testified against Ghislaine Maxwell?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources contain the specific number of victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell during her criminal trial. However, several sources provide important context about the testimony structure:

The analyses reveal that many victims whose accounts were discussed before the grand jury later testified at Maxwell's public trial ^[1]. The grand jury proceedings themselves did not include direct victim testimony - instead, the grand jury transcripts contain testimony from only two law enforcement officers who conveyed the victims' accounts ^{[2] [3]}.

Multiple sources confirm that many women came forward to testify against Jeffrey Epstein after his death, and some of them may have also testified against Maxwell ^[4], but the exact number remains unspecified in the available analyses.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question seeks a specific numerical answer that appears to be unavailable in public reporting or court documents based on these analyses. Key missing context includes:

• The exact number of victim witnesses who testified during Maxwell's trial proceedings
• Distinction between grand jury proceedings and the actual trial - the analyses clarify that victims testified at the public trial, not during the grand jury phase ^[1]
• The difference between victims who provided accounts to law enforcement versus those who testified in court - the analyses show these may be different groups of people

The question assumes this information is readily available, but the analyses suggest that specific victim testimony numbers may not be publicly disclosed or may require access to detailed court records not covered in these sources.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself does not contain misinformation, but it may reflect an assumption that specific victim testimony numbers are publicly available when the analyses suggest this information is not readily accessible through standard news reporting.

There is no apparent bias in the question - it seeks factual information about court proceedings. However, the framing could inadvertently minimize the complexity of victim testimony in high-profile cases where privacy concerns and legal protections may limit public disclosure of specific details about witness participation.
