Federal Judge Sets Parameters for Unsealing Explosive Epstein Documents; At Least a Thousand People are Named in the Pedophile’s Docs

By Law and Crime. The judge overseeing a federal case related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has issued a brief ruling determining the parameters for the eventual unsealing of remaining files.

U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska issued the following order on Thursday:

For the avoidance of doubt, counsel shall agree on the categories of documents (judicial documents, non-judicial documents, and something in between) within two weeks of September 4, 2019. No later than one week thereafter, the proponent of sealing shall submit papers no longer than 5 double-spaced pages, 12-point type, including footnotes, arguing for sealing; no later than one week thereafter, any opponents of sealing (including non-parties) may submit papers no longer than 5 double-spaced pages, 12-point type, including footnotes; and no later than one week thereafter, the proponent of sealing may reply in a letter no longer than 3 double-space pages, 12-point type, including footnotes.

Stylized as Virginia Giuffre v Ghislaine Maxwell, the case itself was brought in 2015 by one of Epstein’s victims, Giuffre, against the woman, Maxwell, who allegedly acted as “Epstein’s procurer of underage girls.”

Attorneys for Maxwell fought the defamation lawsuit for years before ultimately settling the case. But the fight to release the records became a crucial matter of public interest after a federal court ordered the release of a massive cache of documents in the wake of Epstein’s arrest on sex trafficking charges by New York authorities in July.
