According to the docket, her attorney Bobbi Sternheim submitted the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit last week.

Although Maxwell’s attorneys had previously asserted that a juror was biased in the verdict, the paper did not go into detail regarding their arguments for overturning the conviction.

Additionally, her defence team has maintained that some of the victims were older than the legal drinking age in some of the states where the assault took place.

The late British newspaper mogul Robert Maxwell’s Oxford-educated daughter was found guilty on five of six counts, including the most serious one for trafficking kids in s**, in the latter part of last year.

When she handed down Maxwell’s sentence last week, New York judge Alison Nathan referred to the 60-year-crimes old’s as “heinous and predatory.”
