Global perspective
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked the Supreme Court to reject Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted on multiple counts related to sex trafficking. The DOJ's filing argues that the lower court's decision was sound and that there are no grounds for the Supreme Court to review the case. Maxwell's legal team had hoped the Supreme Court would consider her appeal, potentially leading to a reduced sentence or a new trial. However, the DOJ's recommendation significantly diminishes the likelihood of the Supreme Court taking up the case.
