America's Highest Judicial Authority has rejected an legal challenge by British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, upholding her guilty verdict on charges associated with human trafficking by her previous associate Jeffrey Epstein.
Court orders released on Monday refused to consider Maxwell's legal challenge, meaning her two-decade prison term will stay unchanged without a presidential pardon.
Maxwell recently was interviewed by federal agents in the US about her awareness as part of an continuing investigation into the sex-trafficking scheme and whether additional participants existed.
The found guilty socialite was found culpable for her participation in enticing minors for Epstein to take advantage of and have sex with. Epstein passed away while incarcerated in 2019.
Court observers comment that this ruling terminates Maxwell's appeal possibilities at the national level.
The high court's ruling marks the ultimate phase in Maxwell's federal appeal process, leaving behind only extraordinary measures such as a executive clemency as potential options for sentence reduction.
Federal investigators continue to probe the broader network possibly participating in the exploitation scheme, with Maxwell's present collaboration considered potentially valuable for ongoing investigations.
