The Supreme Court on Oct. 6 decided to not take up an appeal from convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who had asked the justices to toss her sex trafficking convictions.

Maxwell was an associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in custody in 2019 while under indictment for sex trafficking.
