Court orders delivered on Monday refused to consider Maxwell's legal challenge, meaning her 20-year sentence will stay unchanged without a executive clemency. Maxwell has recently spoken by government investigators in the US about her knowledge as part of an ongoing probe into the sex-trafficking scheme and whether others may have been involved. The found guilty socialite was found responsible for her participation in luring minors for Epstein to exploit and maintain improper relations with. Epstein died in prison in 2019. Court observers note that this decision concludes Maxwell's judicial recourse at the highest court level.
