DOJ Urges Supreme Court to Reject Ghislaine Maxwell's Appeal Against Conviction
The DOJ has called on the Supreme Court to dismiss Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, reaffirming her conviction for aiding Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of minors.
Overview
The DOJ has formally requested the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal against her conviction.
Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in the sexual abuse of underage girls alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
Her appeal hinges on a co-conspirator clause in a 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which has been dismissed by federal courts.
The DOJ argues that the agreement was not intended to protect Maxwell from prosecution in New York.
Recent reports confirm that there is no evidence suggesting the clause was meant to benefit Maxwell, according to the DOJ.
