Ghislaine Maxwell cites new evidence in appeal for release

Ghislaine Maxwell has filed a habeas petition to overturn her 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, claiming new evidence undermines her 2021 trial’s fairness. Her legal team argues that withheld information and false evidence led to her conviction, stating no reasonable juror would have found her guilty with the new evidence. This filing comes just before the release of Epstein-related documents mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Maxwell was arrested in 2020, a year after Jeffrey Epstein’s death while facing similar charges.
