Ghislaine Maxwell turned 60 in jail on Christmas Day, where she was back in custody after it became clear at the end of deliberations last Wednesday that the jury was not going to reach a verdict before their festive break.

It was her second consecutive Christmas behind bars after being arrested in July, 2020, while hiding away on a secluded luxury estate in New Hampshire.
