A lawyer for Ghislaine Maxwell pressed a federal appeals court on Tuesday to overturn a ruling that jeopardizes her ability to defend against criminal charges she enabled his sexual abuse of girls. Maxwell, 58, has pleaded not guilty to charges she helped Epstein recruit and groom underage girls as young as 14 years old to engage in illegal sexual acts in the mid-1990s.
