The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator argued that she should have been shielded from prosecution under a plea agreement the late sex offender had reached with federal prosecutors in Florida, but the top court declined her case Monday at the start of its new term, reported CNN.

(Now put her back in real prison where she belongs.)

and get her work release.

It's probably boring living in a country club compared with a sex trafficking mansion of little girls. She may have a video of Acosta, she obviously doesn't have a video of a Supreme Court justice.

I wonder what the next episode in the soap opera is going to be? Didn't she threaten to release names if she didn't get a better deal?
