The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal challenging her 2022 conviction for aiding Jeffrey Epstein in grooming and sexually abusing underage girls.
Maxwell argued that she was protected under a non-prosecution agreement Epstein reached with federal prosecutors in Florida in 2008.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled that the agreement applied only to Epstein and Florida prosecutors, not to federal authorities in New York, where Maxwell was later charged.

Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, said he was “deeply disappointed” by the decision but vowed to continue fighting.
The Justice Department, under President Donald Trump’s administration, defended Maxwell’s conviction, stating she “was not a party to the relevant agreement.”
The Supreme Court has declined to take up the appeal of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was contesting her prosecution and conviction on grounds that the government had violated a non-prosecution agreement made with Jeffrey Epstein before his death.
