Ghislaine Maxwell will reportedly lodge an appeal against her sex trafficking conviction, claiming victims who testified against her at trial had “faded, distorted and motivated memories”.

Maxwell was handed a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty of five counts of trafficking and abusing young girls over decades with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell’s lawyers are expected to say: “The government prosecuted Ms Maxwell as a proxy for Jeffrey Epstein. Her attorneys will reportedly outline several issues she will point to as grounds for appeal, including that prison conditions left her “unable to meaningfully assist” in her own defence. But her attorneys will claim she didn't have a fair trial after it emerged that one of the jurors, known as Scotty David, failed to disclose his own experience of sexual abuse during jury selection.
