Maxwell seeks relief in her 20-year prison sentence.
Disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has filed an appeal to the Supreme Court today (28), in a move attempting to overturn her sex trafficking conviction.
Her appeal is on the grounds that she was unlawfully prosecuted for crimes committed alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
Axios reported:
“The filing by Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in 2022, comes just three days after she met with a top Justice Department official tapped to re-examine the Epstein case.
[…] Maxwell’s appeal revolves around a highly controversial 2007 plea agreement Epstein negotiated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida.”
We’re talking about the now infamous ‘sweetheart plea deal’ given by then US Attorney Alex Acosta – who has been quoted in the media as saying he was warned that Epstein ‘belonged to Intelligence’.
In the agreement, it is also said that the US agrees ‘that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein’.
While Maxwell was not listed as one of those suspects, her defense is arguing that ‘the deal protects unnamed co-conspirators as well, since it explicitly says it’s ‘not limited to’ those listed’.

Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus:
“Here’s our statement about Ghislaine’s Reply Brief that we filed in the Supreme Court today: ‘No one is above the law—not even the Southern District of New York. Our government made a deal, and it must honor it. The United States cannot promise immunity with one hand in Florida and prosecute with the other in New York. President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal—and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word, it must stand by it. We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted’.”
