Summary
This is a court order dated June 24, 2022, from Judge Alison J. Nathan in case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE. The order denies the Defendant's request to redact seven written witness statements, citing the presumption of public access and the fact that the witnesses themselves did not seek to file their statements under seal. The Court directs the Government to docket the statements without redactions and affirms that witnesses Annie Farmer, Kate, and Virginia Giuffre may present in-person statements at the future sentencing hearing.

the Government correctly notes, while these statements do implicate privacy interests that might justify certain redactions, those interests here belong to the witnesses themselves, none of whom has sought to submit her statement under seal. Dkt. No. 673 at 2. It follows that the Defendant fails to present any sufficiently weighty countervailing factors or higher values to override the presumption in favor of public access. See Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 124 (2d Cir. 2006). Accordingly, the Defendant’s request for redactions is denied.
In sum, all seven written statements received by the Court are deemed part of the record. The Court will consider them only for what they permissibly may be considered. The Government shall promptly docket the written statements without redactions. Annie Farmer, Kate, and Virginia Giuffre may present an in-person statement at sentencing if they wish to do so.
The Government shall provide copies of this Order to counsel for the seven individuals who submitted statements by no later than today, June 24, 2022.
SO ORDERED.
