Although Maxwell said nothing after the verdicts on each charge were read out, she struggled to stand.

The 60-year-old socialite was accused of “serving up” girls for the multi-millionaire, her former lover, with the pair described as “partners in crime”.

The exact sentencing date has yet to be announced.
