British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell asked the U.S. Supreme Court on April 11 to set aside her sex-trafficking convictions.

In the petition, Maxwell argues that a non-prosecution agreement that prosecutors made with her partner, the late Jeffrey Epstein, should have prevented her from being prosecuted.
