Journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley was among a handful of people who witnessed the trial and sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell. 

In 2021, Maxwell was convicted for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of four girls. 

Osborne-Crowley's legal expertise has played a key role in the coverage surrounding the trial - and she's since used her findings to write a book, The Lasting Harm: Witnessing the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.

She says covering the trial a foot away from Ghislaine Maxwell herself was an 'unsettling' experience.

"She still managed to communicate with me, she made a lot of eye contact with me, she winked at me once - she drew a picture of me at one point, which was very unsettling."
