Ghislaine Maxwell urges Supreme Court to hear her criminal appeal

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney renewed a request that the Supreme Court overturn her 2021 conviction for recruiting teenage girls to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

WASHINGTON — Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney Monday renewed his request that the Supreme Court overturn her 2021 conviction in New York for recruiting and grooming multiple teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse for over a decade.

In a new filing, Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, repeated arguments he made in previous filings that a non-prosecution agreement Epstein made with federal prosecutors in Florida should apply to Maxwell’s case in New York and any other part of the United States.

The filing includes no new information about Maxwell’s two days of meetings last week with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Maxwell's lawyer asked the Supreme Court to take up her case in April. Markus argues that the Supreme Court should hear the case because there is disagreement in the federal courts over whether a non-prosecution agreement applies only to the U.S. Attorney’s office that signs it or to federal prosecutors nationwide.
