US EditionSupreme Court rejects Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction
- The Supreme Court declined Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal against her 2021 conviction related to her involvement in facilitating the abuse of underage girls by Jeffrey Epstein.

- Maxwell's attorneys accused the government of seeking a "blank check" to rewrite its promises and said it distracts by reciting irrelevant accounts of Epstein's misconduct.
- Maxwell remains sentenced to 20 years, was transferred to a lower-security Texas prison, and her conviction and sentence remain in place following the Supreme Court decision.
