Expressing the opposition of the House of Representatives to any grant of commutation, clemency, or pardon to federally convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who refuses to take responsibility for her crimes.
This resolution formally expresses the House of Representatives' opposition to any grant of commutation, clemency, or pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, a federally convicted child sex trafficker. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's international child sex trafficking ring, involving the sexual exploitation and abuse of minor girls. The House's opposition stems from Maxwell's refusal to take responsibility for her crimes, her continued denial, and her disparagement of victims. She has served only a fraction of her sentence and fails to meet the Department of Justice's criteria for clemency recommendations. Beyond opposing clemency, the resolution also reiterates support for the survivors and victims of Epstein and Maxwell, and reaffirms the need for the full and complete release of the Epstein files .
