Supreme Court Rejects Maxwell Appeal in Epstein Case

Monday, October 06, 2025

The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell against her sex-trafficking conviction. Without providing an explanation, the court declined to hear the former British socialite's appeal, which means her 20-year sentence will remain in place barring a presidential pardon.

Her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told the BBC her team was "deeply disappointed", but would continue exploring legal avenues "to ensure that justice is done".

Maxwell was convicted for her role in luring underage girls for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein to exploit. Epstein died in prison in 2019.

"Maxwell was moved to a minimum-security prison facility in Texas after her interview with justice department officials in July. In those interviews, she denied seeing any inappropriate conduct by Trump during his interactions with Epstein.

The facility, FPC Bryant, is located about 100 miles (160km) from the Texas capital of Austin.

The family members of Giuffre, Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson, said in a written statement that they "remain hopeful that the DOJ will realize that she belongs in a maximum security prison, not the country club one she is currently in".

Maxwell was rewarded by Trump with relocation to Club Fed for her role in luring underage girls for her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein to exploit.

Edited for accuracy.
