Summary
This is page 3 of a government filing dated July 28, 2020, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The government argues against the defense's request to publicly name victims/witnesses, calling the defense's argument 'absurd' and 'offensive' particularly regarding the suggestion that victims derive a 'benefit' from public identification. The document outlines the proposed protective order which would allow defense counsel to discuss identities privately but prohibits public dissemination to prevent harassment and intimidation.

"The Government has repeatedly asked defense counsel to explain how or why it would need to publicly name victims of sexual abuse to prepare for trial, and the defense repeatedly has declined to do so, presumably because the argument borders on the absurd."Source

"Beyond the offensive notion that victims of sexual abuse experience a 'benefit' by making the incredibly difficult decision to share their experience publicly, the suggestion that victims who receive this supposed 'benefit' should receive fewer protections than the law ordinarily offers to victims in criminal cases is alarming."Source
