                           February 12, 2026

                               RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the Senate that Ghislaine Maxwell should not be
 granted a Presidential pardon or any form of clemency for her crimes
 with Jeffrey Epstein relating to the sexual exploitation and abuse of
                                minors.

Whereas, in December 2021, a jury in the United States District Court for the
        Southern District of New York found Ghislaine Maxwell guilty of multiple
        felony offenses relating to the sexual exploitation of minors, resulting
        from her illegal activities with convicted child trafficker Jeffrey
        Epstein;
Whereas, in June 2022, a judgment of conviction was entered against Ghislaine
        Maxwell in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
        New York of--

    (1) conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal
sexual activity in violation section 371 of title 18, United States Code;

    (2) transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual
activity in violation of section 2423(a) of title 18, United States Code;
and

    (3) sex trafficking of a minor in violation of subsections (a) and
(b)(2) of section 1591 of title 18, United States Code;

Whereas Ghislaine Maxwell was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in Federal
        prison for her role in facilitating and enabling the sexual abuse and
        exploitation of minors;
Whereas the accountability of individuals convicted of crimes involving the
        sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors is essential to the
        protection of children and the integrity of the justice system; and
Whereas President Donald Trump has publicly stated that he possesses the
        authority to grant a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell in this matter and has
        declined to categorically rule out exercising such authority: Now,
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the conviction and sentence imposed upon Ghislaine
        Maxwell reflect the seriousness and gravity of her offenses
        involving the sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors;
            (2) granting a pardon, commutation, or any other form of
        executive clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell would be inconsistent
        with the interests of justice and accountability for crimes
        involving the sexual exploitation of children;
            (3) the President should not grant a pardon, commutation,
        or any other form of executive clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell;
        and
            (4) the Senate stands with the victims of sexual
        exploitation and trafficking and affirms its commitment to
        justice, accountability, and the protection of children.
