The imprisoned former girlfriend of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was sentenced to 20 years in prison for recruiting underage girls for the notorious sex offender. She had appealed her conviction, arguing that Epstein's 2007 plea agreement should have shielded her from prosecution.

The Supreme Court has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal after she claimed she was wrongly prosecuted for sex trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted procurer of Jeffrey Epstein, may now focus efforts to get a pardon or sentence commutation from President Donald Trump.
