A psychologist testifying for Ghislaine Maxwell's defense in the British socialite's sex abuse trial said on Thursday that people can have false memories about traumatic events.
The testimony from Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine, is part of the defense's effort to undermine the credibility of four women who say that Maxwell groomed them for abuse by the late financier Jeffrey Epstein when they were teenagers.
Loftus, who said she was being compensated $600 per hour for her time, has been a witness or consultant for hundreds of trials, including those of Harvey Weinstein and O.J. Simpson. On Thursday, she discussed experiments in which she and colleagues had successfully planted false memories in participants' minds."Have you conducted a study where you arranged for girls to be sexually abused?" Pomerantz asked.
The four women testified that Maxwell played a key role in setting them up for abuse by Epstein. One of the women, known as Jane, said Maxwell herself took part in some sexual encounters with Jane and Epstein. The prosecution rested its case on Friday, and Loftus was the third witness called to the stand by Maxwell's defense.
