Ghislaine Maxwell Loses Hotness in Human Trafficking Case

US court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her human trafficking conviction.

Maxwell, 62, was found guilty in December 2021 of helping disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse young girls.

In June 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan upheld five of Maxwell’s convictions and said her sentence was “procedural.”

Maxwell’s lawyer said he intends to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Epstein, Maxwell’s ex-boyfriend, committed suicide in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell, five weeks after he was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.

Maxwell argued she should be freed under the terms of a 2008 plea agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida.

Under the agreement, prosecutors agreed not to prosecute his alleged accomplices.

In March, Maxwell’s lawyers argued that the British celebrity “should never have been charged” due to the “bizarre” deal.

But three judges rejected her arguments, saying Epstein’s agreement not to sue was intended to bind only South Florida prosecutors.

The verdict also rejected Maxwell’s claims that she did not have a fair trial because a juror failed to disclose that he had been sexually abused as a child.

Maxwell’s attorney said he now plans to appeal his conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We are of course very disappointed with the court’s decision and strongly disagree with its outcome,” Arthur Aidala said in a statement.

“We are cautiously optimistic that Ghislaine will receive the justice she deserves from the United States Supreme Court.”

During Maxwell’s trial in 2022, four women testified that they were victims of abuse in Epstein’s homes in Florida, New York, New Mexico and the Virgin Islands when they were minors.

They told how Maxwell, who is the daughter of former Daily Mirror owner Robert Maxwell, persuaded them to give Epstein massages, which turned sexual.

They claimed they were lured with gifts and promises that Epstein could use his money and connections to help them.

During the hearing, the judge rejected attempts to dismiss the case, including an argument by Maxwell’s lawyers that she was not allowed to adequately prepare for trial and that prosecutors waited too long to bring charges against her.
