Judge Denies Ghislaine Maxwell's Attempts To Overturn Sex ... (UNILAD)

The former girlfriend of the late Jeffrey Epstein has failed in her attempt to have her sex trafficking conviction overturned.

Whether this will affect the length of Maxwell's sentence is unclear as each conspiracy charge carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. Maxwell's motion to overturn her conviction and push for a retrial came after the announcement from one of the jurors who delivered the guilty verdict that he had been the victim of sexual abuse and used his experiences to help inform the jury's deliberations. Maxwell was convicted on five charges in December 2021 and faces up to 55 years in prison for her part in the trafficking of minors who were sexually abused by Epstein.

Maxwell, arrested in July 2020, has remained incarcerated. "This legal conclusion in no way calls into question the factual findings made by the jury.
