Summary
This document appears to be page 10 of a legal brief filed on April 1, 2021, arguing that Ghislaine Maxwell should be granted bail. The text criticizes the District Court for relying on the Government's 'conclusory allegations' regarding the strength of the case to justify detention. The defense argues the case is old, based on anonymous hearsay that has not been confronted, and that prosecutors have refused to disclose the accusers' names or specific allegations.

(emphasis added).
The court fundamentally erred in relying on the government’s
empty assertions that its case is strong. There was no principled way
for the court to reach such a conclusion without hearing any evidence
and without knowing anything at all about the allegations, especially
here where the case is so old and based on anonymous hearsay which
the defense has never been able to confront. The government did not
even proffer that these anonymous accusers even made their claims
under oath. Prosecutors refuse to disclose their names, their
statements, the specifics of their allegations, or anything about them.
