Federal judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘miscarriage of justice’ claim and bid for prison release
- On Tuesday, New York District Judge Paul Engelmayer rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's habeas petition, dismissing her attempt to overturn her 2021 sex trafficking conviction.
- Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted in 2021 for recruiting and grooming young women for Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 before his own trial.
- Claiming a 'complete miscarriage of justice,' Maxwell argued that new evidence from the Justice Department proved her rights were violated at trial and sentencing.
- Engelmayer rejected the arguments, calling them 'lengthy and rambling' and noting her assertions were based on 'speculation, distortions, and/or outright falsehoods' instead of credible facts.
- The judge ruled that alleged 'new' evidence from the Justice Department's Epstein files is 'largely irrelevant' to her case, stating no fact 'fairly puts in dispute' the trial outcome.
