The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of her conviction on charges related to sex-trafficking by former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein. The court orders issued Monday declined to hear Maxwell's appeal, which means her 20-year sentence will remain in place barring a presidential pardon. She recently was interviewed by federal agents in the US about what she knew as part of a probe into the sex-trafficking scheme and whether others may have been involved. Maxwell was convicted for her role in luring underage girls for Epstein to exploit and have sex with. Epstein died in prison in 2019.

The Supreme Court's rejection of Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal affirms her 20-year sentence stemming from her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities. The court's decision secures her conviction unless a presidential pardon intervenes, as Maxwell has recently cooperated with federal investigations concerning her role and others' potential involvement in the trafficking scheme.
