Summary

This document is an email chain from July 24, 2020, involving USANYS officials and a journalist, Dipesh Gadher, from The Sunday Times. Gadher writes to inform prosecutors that he intends to name a specific British woman as 'Minor Victim 3' in the Ghislaine Maxwell federal indictment, claiming she previously waived anonymity. Internal USANYS discussion reveals concern, with one official stating they have not made the victim's identity public and questioning the ethical basis of the reporter's claim.

Subject: Sunday Times news story on Ghislaine Maxwell federal indictment
Dear [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]
Sorry to contact you out of the blue, but I've been working on the Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking
charges story for The Sunday Times newspaper in London over the past few weeks.
The federal indictment highlights three specific victims, identified as Minor Victim 1, 2 and 3.
EFTA00021938
I believe that "Minor Victim 3" is a British-born woman called [REDACTED] and plan to state this
in a news story on Sunday. She previously waived her right of anonymity at a court hearing attended by
victims of Jeffrey Epstein in New York last August and subsequently appeared on the NBC Dateline show.
Can you or one of your colleagues please urgently let me know if there are any legal issues that would
prevent me from naming Ms [REDACTED] as a key witness in this case?
Do prosecutors plan to publicly identify Ms Maxwell's victims at any point? If so, when?
I can be contacted via email or on [REDACTED]. My deadline is 10pm GMT today.
Many thanks for your time and help.
Best wishes
