The former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell will be sentenced on Tuesday. She was convicted of recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual encounters with Jeffrey Epstein.

She can still lodge an appeal with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in the US, but we're told that successes in doing that are few.
