A federal judge has denied Ghislaine Maxwell's attempt to overturn her conviction and sentence, saying the petition is "demonstrably meritless."

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer says claims by longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein of new evidence in sex trafficking conviction are 'demonstrably meritless'

Maxwell’s petition for a new trial was “meritless” and often “frivolous,” the judge wrote, and the evidence she provided only “incriminates her” further.
