The Nation's Top Court has refused an petition by UK socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, affirming her guilty verdict on allegations related to sex-trafficking by her previous associate Jeffrey Epstein.
Legal rulings delivered on Monday refused to consider Maxwell's legal challenge, meaning her two-decade prison term will remain in place barring a executive clemency.
Maxwell recently was interviewed by government investigators in the US about her understanding as part of an ongoing probe into the sex-trafficking scheme and whether additional participants existed.
The found guilty socialite was found responsible for her involvement in enticing minors for Epstein to abuse and maintain improper relations with. Epstein passed away while incarcerated in 2019.
Legal experts note that this ruling concludes Maxwell's judicial recourse at the federal level.
The high court's ruling marks the final chapter in Maxwell's national legal challenge, leaving behind only exceptional actions such as a presidential intervention as conceivable solutions for penalty modification.
Government agents continue to probe the extended group potentially involved in the exploitation scheme, with Maxwell's current assistance considered possibly useful for continuing probes.
