US EditionEpstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell urges Supreme Court to overturn her conviction
UNITED STATES, JUL 28 – Maxwell claims a 2007 non-prosecution agreement protecting Epstein's co-conspirators should shield her from prosecution, while the Justice Department disputes its geographic scope and applicability.
- Today, Ghislaine Maxwell, British socialite, appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, arguing her case rests on a controversial non-prosecution agreement.
- The appeal centers on a 2007 non-prosecution agreement Jeffrey Epstein negotiated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida that Maxwell’s defense says shielded co-conspirators.
- In a July 14 statement, Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus said the case should be fairly considered by the court, urging Trump to honor promises.
- The Department of Justice asked the Supreme Court on July 28, 2025, to consider Maxwell’s appeal, while Trump said he is 'allowed' to pardon her.
- Maxwell’s petition could prompt the Supreme Court to clarify plea deal scope, as her attorneys argue the federal government `has an obligation to honor` the non-prosecution agreement.
