Maxwell’s Freedom Bid Denied | Portland News

Ghislaine Maxwell’s last-ditch effort to overturn her 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking has been crushed by a federal judge who called her claims “completely baseless.” She argued new evidence proved her innocence, but the judge dismissed her habeas petition, calling it full of speculation and falsehoods — including claims that crucial info was hidden or false testimony was used. Much of her “new” evidence, from recently released Epstein documents, actually supported the original conviction. The judge also shot down her scapegoat theory, saying she could’ve raised it on appeal and that the documents didn’t prove any uncharged co-conspirators. Her bid for freedom? Officially failed.
