This House Resolution formally expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that Ghislaine Maxwell should not receive a pardon, commutation, or any other form of clemency from the President of the United States. It underscores her December 2021 conviction on multiple counts related to the sexual abuse and trafficking of minors, emphasizing her role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. The resolution states that Maxwell's 20-year prison sentence was warranted by the facts, and her ongoing imprisonment represents the only measure of justice available to the numerous victims, given Jeffrey Epstein's death. The House condemns child sexual abuse and sex trafficking, standing in solidarity with survivors and affirming that clemency would deny them the justice they deserve. Therefore, the resolution formally opposes any clemency for Maxwell.
