Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell appeal
A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's latest appeal against her conviction for sex trafficking crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The judge called her claims "frivolous," marking another legal setback for the former socialite.
Maxwell had sought to overturn her conviction and be released from prison, but the court found no merit in her arguments.
The ruling means Maxwell will remain in prison serving her 20-year sentence.
