US judge rejects Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn conviction
–
Neutral summary
A US federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her conviction and 20-year prison sentence for helping the late financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls. Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan called her claims meritless and "almost all frivolous." Maxwell, convicted in 2021, had filed a habeas petition in December claiming new evidence, but the judge ruled it could not alter the verdict.
