On Wednesday, the Supreme Court revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal to her sex trafficking conviction will be among the cases the high court reviews during a closed-door conference in September.
The Supreme Court posted a brief notice indicating it plans to examine a petition from Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein‘s former girlfriend and associate, on Sept. 29, marking the first time the justices will have her case before them.
The public could learn whether the high court plans to review Maxwell’s case within days or weeks of that date.
If the Supreme Court denies Maxwell’s petition, she will have no appeal options left. If the high court were to grant it, that means it would review Maxwell’s arguments that she was improperly prosecuted.
Maxwell was convicted by a jury in New York in 2021 of five counts involving sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
She appealed her conviction, arguing it should be tossed out because a plea deal Epstein reached with the federal government in 2007 immunized her and statutes of limitations for her actions had lapsed.

With a case load of issues absolutely requiring their attention and wisdom, is this political football, The Epstein case, worthy of even one second of the SCOTUS time? It is nothing more than another of the left’s diversions and delay tactics to slow the meteoric pace of president Trumps victories for all Americans. The Epstein case at this point is mere theatrics as the democrats had four years under Biden when it meant nothing to them.
With Roberts on the list I’m sure he will not vote with the others to keep her locked up.
