In June 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after being found guilty of five sex-trafficking counts linked to the operation of Jeffrey Epstein, including transporting minors and conspiring to entice minors for illegal sexual acts. A judge described her conduct as “heinous and predatory,” emphasizing that although Epstein was central to the scheme, Maxwell was being punished for her own active role in recruiting, grooming, and facilitating abuse of girls as young as 14.

Since the sentencing, Maxwell has appealed her conviction and sought to challenge the prosecution on several grounds—including whether a 2008 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein shielded her—but the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal in October 2025, meaning her conviction and 20-year sentence remain intact unless altered through clemency.
