Lucia Osborne-Crowley: The Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell

About
Australian-trained lawyer and journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley was one of only four court reporters admitted daily into the blockbuster criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, where she bore witness to the extensive evidence brought against Maxwell for sex-trafficking minors and abetting Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses.Maxwell’s trial and ultimate conviction is carefully detailed in Lucia's book The Lasting Harm, which amplifies the voices of the victims and serves as a critique of a legal system ill-equipped to deliver justice for abuse survivors.
Lucia will speak to Newcastle Writers Festival director Rosemarie Milsom about the impact of the Maxwell trial, our age-old appetite for crime and punishment and a new blueprint for meaningful reparative justice.
Recommended for audiences aged 18 and older. Please note, this event may include references to sexual abuse and assault.
This event is supported by the University of Newcastle and Allen & Unwin.
