Maxwell’s appeal at risk as husband refuses to pay

Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal against her 20-year jail sentence for sex trafficking is on the brink of collapse after her estranged husband refused to pay her legal fees. Scott Borgerson, 46, who married Maxwell, 60, in secret in 2016 and ended the relationship over the phone when she was in jail awaiting trial, has ignored her requests to pay a US$900,000 (NZ$1.4 million) legal bill and a further US$1 million to challenge her conviction, according to The Sun. Until the money is transferred her legal team cannot work on the appeal against her prison sentence.
