The Nation's Top Court has refused an legal challenge by UK socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, affirming her criminal judgment on allegations related to human trafficking by her previous associate Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell underwent questioning by law enforcement officials in the US about her understanding as part of an continuing investigation into the exploitation operation and whether further accomplices were present.
The sentenced figure was found guilty for her involvement in luring young women for Epstein to exploit and maintain improper relations with. Epstein died in prison in 2019.
Court observers comment that this decision terminates Maxwell's legal options at the federal level.
