Federal judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘miscarriage of justice’ claim and bid for prison release
The judge said Maxwell’s new evidence was largely irrelevant and that her claims were barred or unsupported by the record, leaving her 20-year sentence intact.
- 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.
