The Supreme Court has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, upholding her criminal conviction and 20-year sentence for her role in recruiting and grooming teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. Maxwell's defense argued a nonprosecution agreement should apply to her case, but the court's decision confirms her conviction stands. The Justice Department had urged rejection, citing internal policies and lack of evidence that the agreement extended nationwide. The ruling reinforces the original conviction from 2022.
