The Lasting Harm
Lucia Osborne-Crowley
The explosive, behind-the-scenes account of the criminal trial of the century. In November 2021, Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex-trafficking of minors, and now faces 55 years in prison for the role she played in Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of four girls. The trial was meticulously covered by journalist and legal reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley, one of only four reporters allowed into the courtroom every day.
Witness: The Trial of the Century is her account of that trial, a gripping true crime drama and a blistering critique of a criminal justice system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors, no matter the outcome.
Centring the stories of four women and their testimonies, and supplemented by extra material to which Osborne-Crowley has exclusive access, Witness brings this incendiary trial to life, questions our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and offers a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.
