THE BIG NEWS
Convicted Child Sex Trafficker Appeals to High Court – The Tuesday AM Quickie 7/29/25
Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell asked the corrupt Supreme Court to overturn the 2021 ruling against her yesterday, saying she should never have been tried in the first place, CNN and The Washington Post reported. She claimed that she was improperly prosecuted because her dead accomplice, serial child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, cut a deal with federal authorities in 2008 that “prohibited charges against potential co-conspirators,” the WaPo reported.
“Rather than grapple with the core principles of plea agreements, the government tries to distract by reciting a lurid and irrelevant account of Jeffrey Epstein’s misconduct. But this case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did,” Maxwell’s attorneys wrote in their petition to the court. Hang on, one sec, let me disassociate for several hundred hours. It boggles the mind that anyone could cast as “unjust” Maxwell’s punishment after she preyed on hundreds of “vulnerable girls, typically from single-mother households and difficult financial circumstances,” including girls as young as 14, and sexually abused them with her own hands.
Maxwell’s attorney laid it on thick in a jaw-dropping statement: “President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal – and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word, it must stand by it. We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the president himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted.”
