Ghislaine Maxwell's Prison Release Denied by Obama-Appointed Judge

Judge Engelmayer denies Ghislaine Maxwell’s habeas petition, calling her claims false and unable to alter her conviction.

Maxwell, 64, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison and is the only person convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial.

The accomplice to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2021 of supplying under-aged girls to the deceased financier.

Claims by Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell that her sex trafficking conviction was a "complete miscarriage of justice" were rejected Tuesday by a federal judge who said her assertions were based on "speculation, distortions, and/or outright falsehoods."

Ghislaine Maxwell's long-shot bid to overturn her sex crimes conviction was soundly rejected Tuesday — by a judge who ripped Jeffrey Epstein's notorious madam for filing a "rambling" motion from prison.

Maxwell’s conviction on conspiracy to abuse underage girls was “based on trial evidence of her guilt that was overwhelming," the judge said.

Judge Paul Engelmayer called Ghislaine Maxwell's post-conviction challenge "meritless" and "frivolous," finding trial evidence against her "overwhelming."

Maxwell, 64, who represented herself, challenged her December 2021 conviction and sentence in Manhattan federal court and sought a writ of habeas corpus after claiming her punishment was unlawful.

Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted of sex trafficking in December 2021.
