The US Supreme Court has decisively rejected an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite convicted for her involvement in the sex-trafficking scheme orchestrated by her former boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein. The court’s ruling, issued on Monday, ensures that Maxwell’s 20-year prison sentence remains intact, barring an unlikely presidential pardon. Maxwell, who was found guilty of luring underage girls for Epstein to exploit, has been a central figure in the high-profile case that has captivated public attention for years. Recently, she was interviewed by federal agents as part of an ongoing investigation into the broader network of individuals potentially involved in the trafficking scheme. Epstein, who faced similar charges, died in prison in 2019 under controversial circumstances. The Supreme Court’s decision marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the victims of this harrowing case.
