A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction. Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and associate, claimed her conviction was a miscarriage of justice. However, the judge found her assertions to be based on speculation, distortions, and falsehoods.

The judge's written ruling stated that Maxwell's petition was "demonstrably meritless" and failed to provide any new evidence that could disturb the outcome of her trial. Maxwell had maintained that new information would have resulted in her exoneration.

Further details on the ruling and Maxwell's petition are available, including the judge's full written statement.
