Who was the prosecutor in Florida who brought the charges against Maxwell and convicted her?

Bondi had all the information in front of her then and supposedly on her AG’s desk in DC. Yet, now she claims there is no evidence or proof.

That is a head scratcher! If I’m wrong then I stand corrected!

.. not for providing girls to other men. The 'evidence' in her trial came from testimony of individual victims of Epstein.

So the existence of lists of 'clients' or secret videos wasn't part of her prosecution. (Nor did it give rise at the time to the prosecution of any such clients.)
