- Ghislaine Maxwell is accused of sex crimes, including the sexual abuse of minors with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Police said they found a massage table and sex toys at Epstein's Palm Beach estate during an investigation.
- Maxwell could face a prison sentence of up to 80 years if convicted.
A green massage table and a photo of sex toys that were seized by authorities from Jeffrey Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, were displayed for jurors Friday during the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Reuters reported.
Maxwell is on trial in Manhattan for multiple charges related to the sex trafficking of underage girls.
A retired police officer named Jeffrey Parkinson testified that he recovered the massage table during a search of the mansion for a 2005 inquiry into Epstein, according to Reuters. Prosecutors also showed the jury a photo of a box – labeled "Twin Torpedos" – full of sex toys that Michael Dawson, a colleague of Parkinson's, said he found in an upstairs closet.
Prosecutors have accused Maxwell of sex trafficking girls with Epstein, sexually abusing them herself, and lying about her actions in a deposition. On Wednesday, an accuser who testified under the pseudonym "Jane" said that Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused her numerous times, starting in 1994, over the course of at least five years.
Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to all eight charges against her, six of which she is currently being tried for. If convicted, she faces a prison sentence of up to 80 years.
