A federal judge has rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her sex trafficking conviction. Maxwell, the former girlfriend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, claimed her conviction was a miscarriage of justice. However, the judge found her assertions to be based on speculation, distortions, and falsehoods.

The judge's written ruling stated that Maxwell's petition was demonstrably meritless and fell short of the mark. Maxwell had sought to set aside her conviction and 20-year prison sentence, citing new evidence.

Further details on the ruling are available, but it is known that the judge found no facts presented by Maxwell that could disturb the outcome of her trial.
