Overview
- Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence after her 2021 conviction for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls
- She argues that an unusual co-conspirator clause in Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement bars any prosecution of his co-conspirators beyond the Southern District of Florida
- A federal district court and the Second Circuit previously rejected her interpretation of the co-conspirator clause
- The DOJ contends the Florida agreement lacked authority to bind other districts and did not explicitly include Maxwell as a protected party
- Her petition for Supreme Court review remains pending after the Solicitor General urged the justices to deny certiorari
