Federal judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s bid to overturn sex trafficking conviction
A US judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's claims that her conviction was a miscarriage of justice and denied her bid for release.
Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, sought to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, arguing that new evidence had emerged and that her conviction amounted to a complete miscarriage of justice. A federal judge rejected these claims as demonstrably meritless. Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year prison sentence and remains the only person convicted of a crime related to Epstein's crimes.
