The U.S. government has urged an appeals court to uphold the conviction and 20-year prison sentence of Ghislaine Maxwell, the onetime girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, who was found guilty of helping the disgraced late billionaire financier sexually abuse teenage girls and women.
In a filing with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Thursday, federal prosecutors said none of Maxwell’s legal arguments about the fairness of her trial held merit.
