NEW YORK, Aug 26 — A US federal judge yesterday rejected a bid by Ghislaine Maxwell, a key accomplice of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to throw out her conviction on...

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

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