2nd Circuit Court upholds Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking conviction, affirming her 20-year sentence.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for sex trafficking, affirming her 20-year prison sentence. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 for recruiting underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein's abuse from 1994 to 2004, argued her prosecution was barred by a 2007 non-prosecution agreement Epstein had with federal prosecutors. The court rejected this claim, confirming her crimes fell within the statute of limitations. Maxwell is eligible for release in 2037.
