US judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn sex trafficking conviction
A US federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to overturn her conviction on sex trafficking charges, ruling that her claims of constitutional violations were meritless. Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year sentence and remains the only person convicted in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
A US federal judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by Ghislaine Maxwell, a key associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to throw out her conviction on sex trafficking charges. In his ruling, Judge Paul Engelmayer said Maxwell's claims that her constitutional rights were violated during trial and sentencing were "meritless and all or almost all are frivolous."
Maxwell, 64, was convicted in 2021 of supplying underage girls to Epstein. She has been sentenced to 20 years in prison and is the only person convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial. Epstein's ties to powerful figures in business, politics, and entertainment have fueled years of public scrutiny and conspiracy theories.
The ruling upholds Maxwell's conviction and sentence, closing her latest legal challenge. No further details of her appeal options were provided in the court's decision.
