Piers Morgan has said many rich and powerful men could be "sweating" tonight following Ghislaine Maxwell's guilty verdict.
Maxwell was charged with six counts alleging that she recruited, groomed, and abused four underage girls between 1994 and 2004. She pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Maxwell, 60, was found guilty of five federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three related counts of conspiracy.
Maxwell, who now faces up to 65 years in prison, showed no emotion when the verdicts were read. Judge Alison Nathan did not set a sentencing date after the verdict.
Now, Morgan has spoken out following the verdict, taking to Twitter to question whether the defendant will list the names of other high-profile attackers who were also involved.
"Will vile sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell now sing like a canary to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison?" he wrote.
"If she does, there could be a lot of rich, powerful & famous people sweating tonight… and not sweating."
Morgan's reference to sweating comes after Prince Andrew famously claimed in his interview with Newsnight in 2019 that he was "unable to sweat" when asked about a description of him dancing in a nightclub prior to an alleged encounter with his accuser.
The Duke of York's accuser, Birginia Roberts Giuffre, claims that she was sexually assaulted by the Queen's second son three times: once in New York City, once in London at Maxwell's home, and once on Epstein's private island, known as Little St. James, in the US Virgin Islands, as per The Sun.
The 38-year-old filed a lawsuit in New York back in August. Prince Andrew has denied all allegations against him.
Prince Andrew recently has asked a judge to dismiss the sex abuse lawsuit against him by claiming Roberts was over the age of consent.
Roberts filed the case under the New York Child Victims' Act - which allowed victims to sue their alleged abusers if they were younger than 18 when it took place.
At the time, Virginia said she was holding Prince Andrew "accountable for what he did to me".
But the royal has asked a judge to throw out the lawsuit, claiming the legislation is "unconstitutional" and the "issue of consent is unsettled".
