Court decision: Objection from Epstein associate against verdict rejected
An appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell to her prison sentence fails. A federal judge dismisses her allegations as "unfounded".
Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, will continue to serve her prison sentence after a US federal judge rejected her appeal. Maxwell, 64, had sought to overturn her conviction and sentence, citing alleged violations of her constitutional rights during the trial and sentencing. However, Judge Paul Engelmayer found her claims to be unfounded and dismissed the evidence she presented as largely irrelevant.
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for her role in facilitating Epstein's sexual abuse of girls, and is currently serving her time in a Texas prison.
