Senate would urge President not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell for sex crimes

The Senate would formally ask the President not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell or cut her sentence. It says this would be unfair for crimes of child sexual abuse. The Senate would also support victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

What Would Change

Today, Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence, and the President has the authority to grant her a pardon or clemency. If this resolution becomes law, the Senate would formally express its opinion that the President should not grant any form of clemency to Maxwell. It would state that such an act would be inconsistent with justice for child exploitation crimes.

Key Provisions
