A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's claims that her sex trafficking conviction was a miscarriage of justice. Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and associate, had sought to set aside her conviction and prison sentence. Her petition was based on assertions that there was substantial new evidence, but the judge found these claims to be speculation, distortions, and falsehoods.

The judge's written ruling described Maxwell's petition as demonstrably meritless, stating that it fell far from the mark. According to the ruling, there is no fact that Maxwell has raised that could potentially change the outcome of her trial.

Further details on the ruling and Maxwell's petition are available from the source. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
