A jury in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell has completed three full days of deliberations without a sign that a verdict is near.

On Monday, the jury requested multi-colored sticky notes, a white board and some trial transcripts.

They also asked for the definition of enticement and a question pertaining to the law.

The jury resumed deliberations after a holiday weekend break following two full days of talks last week.

The British socialite is charged with grooming teenagers as young as 14 to be sexually assaulted by financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell's lawyers say she's being scapegoated after Epstein killed himself in 2019 while awaiting a sex trafficking trial.
