The US Supreme Court has declined an petition by UK socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, upholding her conviction on accusations connected with sex-trafficking by her previous associate Jeffrey Epstein.
Court orders delivered on Monday declined to hear Maxwell's legal challenge, meaning her lengthy incarceration will stay unchanged unless there is a presidential reprieve.
Maxwell recently was interviewed by federal agents in the US about her awareness as part of an ongoing probe into the criminal enterprise and whether additional participants existed.
The convicted socialite was found responsible for her role in enticing minors for Epstein to take advantage of and maintain improper relations with. Epstein passed away while incarcerated in 2019.
Legal experts observe that this decision terminates Maxwell's legal options at the federal level.
The high court's ruling represents the concluding phase in Maxwell's federal appeal process, resulting in only extraordinary measures such as a presidential intervention as conceivable solutions for punishment alteration.
Law enforcement officials continue to probe the broader network potentially involved in the criminal enterprise, with Maxwell's recent cooperation considered possibly useful for ongoing investigations.
