The Supreme Court may potentially overturn Ghislaine Maxwell's child-sex-trafficking conviction, focusing on claims of a breached nonprosecution agreement tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell's appeal does not contest her guilt but instead argues that the Department of Justice reneged on an agreement. This centers around a controversial deal made in 2007 under then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, which allowed Epstein to avoid serious federal charges despite overwhelming evidence of his wrongdoing with underage victims.
Maxwell's primary legal argument involves a claimed breach of a nonprosecution agreement between Jeffrey Epstein and DOJ prosecutors, asserting that this constitutes a violation of contract law.
The 2007 nonprosecution agreement, negotiated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, allowed Epstein to evade significant charges despite extensive evidence of his crimes against underage victims.
