Federal judge rejects pedophile Ghisaine Maxwell’s habeas corpus petition as frivilous.

Convicted human trafficker and pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell’s latest attempt to walk free and spend her multimillions from Jeffrey Epstein was rejected by a federal judge.  Not content to await her pardon/commutation at the Texas prison/yoga camp, she played the habeas card after even this U.S. Supreme Court rejected the appeal of her 2022 conviction.  The district judge rejected her petition as procedurally barred, speculative, and riddled with distortions.

A perjuring pedophile, human trafficker and co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein is filled with distortions on every conceivable level.  Glad somebody recognized it on the record.  Enough from this convict.  She had the best legal representation money could buy.  STFU.

Judge Paul Engelmayer’s ruling described Maxwell’s claims of withheld evidence and false testimony “demonstrably meritless.”  He wrote that purported “new” evidence from recently released Epstein investigation files is largely irrelevant or even incriminating, saying Maxwell’s sprawling habeas petition is procedurally barred, speculative and riddled with distortions.

Maxwell is hardly a scapegoat.  She was Epstein’s right hand man.  That Epstein and Maxwell’s “clients” were never charged or prosecuted (and never will be) should come as no surprise and hardly alters this monster’s status to “scapegoat”  or “patsy.”

Never forget that the feds moved this convicted predator from FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison.  The sex offender was moved to FPC Bryan in Texas, a highly desirable “Club Fed” white-collar facility.  It is known for its high-profile inmates and severe, systemic misconduct.  Remember this on the rare occasion that this administration and any of its agencies claims to care about victims of sex crimes.

These prison camps are typically reserved for non-violent, white-collar offenders who are nearing the end of their sentences. Under standard BOP guidelines, inmates with more than 10 years left on their sentence are ineligible for minimum-security placement.  In fact, the federal Bureau of Prisons applies a mandatory “Public Safety Factor” (PSF) to any inmate convicted of a sex crime or human trafficking. This automatically disqualifies an inmate from being housed in a minimum-security prison camp, requiring them to stay at a low-security facility or higher.

This administration has offered no explanation for the transfer or for the extraordinary exceptions made in Maxwell’s case, beyond citing general security concerns at the prison in Tallahassee.  As many commentators have noted, security concerns are hardly addressed by moving this prisoner to a lower-level security facility.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in the Epstein/Maxwell sex crimes and human trafficking.  That is until her pal, the president, springs her completely and she gets on a plane for parts unknown sometime between now and January 20, 2029.

She’s going to have to wait for now.  There is no automatic right to appeal the rejection of a habeas petition.  Find something else to do in the prison library.
