Page 6 of a court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, related to Ghislaine Maxwell) detailing the protocol for handling 'Confidential Information' during discovery. It defines such information as including the identities of victims and witnesses, while noting that publicly self-identified victims are not confidential. It also establishes a mechanism for Defense Counsel to challenge the Government's confidentiality designations.
DOJ-OGR-00010661.jpg
This document is page 2 of a government filing in Case 1:20-cr-00330 (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on June 24, 2022. The Government argues that victims have a right to be heard at sentencing and opposes the defendant's request to redact victim impact statements, citing that privacy interests belong to the victims, not the defendant. The filing cites legal precedents (Eberhard, Lugosch) regarding the Court's discretion to accept information and the standards for sealing documents.
DOJ-OGR-00010527.jpg
This document is page 2 of a court order from Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), signed by Judge Alison J. Nathan on June 21, 2022. It establishes deadlines for filing objections and non-objected statements on June 24, 2022. Crucially, it orders the Government to confirm by noon on June 22, 2022, that victims have been notified of their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA).
DOJ-OGR-00003099.jpg
This document is page 165 of a legal filing (Document 204) from April 2021 in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The prosecution argues against the defendant's motion to sever Counts Five and Six, stating that the perjury charges and sex abuse charges are logically connected by a common scheme. The text cites Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 8(a) and various case precedents to support the joinder of offenses.
DOJ-OGR-00004693.jpg
This document is a page from a confidential grand jury transcript filed on May 25, 2021. A witness is questioned about eight previously discussed victims, specifically regarding whether they had histories of illicit drug use or mental health issues. The witness confirms knowledge of these issues, but the specific details provided in the answer are fully redacted.
DOJ-OGR-00005864.jpg
This page from a legal filing (Document 397 in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, the Ghislaine Maxwell trial) outlines the Government's argument for admitting evidence of rape. The prosecution rebuts defense claims that such evidence is irrelevant or overly inflammatory (Rule 403), asserting that the victims' testimony is necessary to explain the complex, multi-year relationships between the defendant, Epstein, and the victims. The text clarifies that the Indictment charges conspiracies for 'sexual activity' and 'commercial sex acts,' not merely 'sexualized massages' as the defense suggested.
DOJ-OGR-00005396.jpg
This legal document is a preliminary statement from the Government, filed on October 29, 2021, in case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE. The Government submits nine motions in limine to the Court, seeking to set the rules for an upcoming trial. The motions aim to protect victims' privacy, admit certain statements, and preclude the defense from introducing what the Government considers irrelevant, confusing, or improper evidence and arguments, such as questioning law enforcement decisions or attempting to garner sympathy for the defendant.
DOJ-OGR-00011704.jpg
This document is a transcript of an opening statement by Ms. Pomerantz in a criminal case (1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The prosecution outlines its case against an unnamed defendant, alleging their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein in the abuse of underage victims. The statement details the evidence to be presented, including testimony from victims' relatives, Epstein's pilots and staff, and law enforcement who searched Epstein's Palm Beach and New York residences, to establish the defendant's role and efforts to create a 'culture of silence'.
DOJ-OGR-00011614.jpg
This document is page 95 of a court transcript from the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell on July 22, 2022. The judge rejects Maxwell's claims regarding poor treatment at the MDC and lack of preparation time, noting a pattern of dishonesty and 'deflection of blame' consistent with her perjury in a civil deposition. While acknowledging that Maxwell and her attorney Ms. Sternheim expressed sympathy for the victims' suffering, the judge emphasizes that Maxwell failed to express acceptance of responsibility.
DOJ-OGR-00011611.jpg
This document is a page from the sentencing transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330). The judge outlines the rationale for a substantial sentence, citing the gravity of the offense, the harm to victims, and the need for general deterrence against sexual abuse and trafficking of minors. The judge emphasizes that Maxwell's wealth and status do not place her above the law.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_010552.jpg
This document is page 212 from a book authored by James Patterson, likely 'Filthy Rich', which has been included in House Oversight Committee records (Bates stamp 010552). It features a statement signed by former U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta defending the prosecutorial decisions made in the Epstein case, arguing that critics were not privy to the specific evidence and trial assessments made at the time.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_023008.jpg
This document is a timeline, likely from a Miami Herald article included in House Oversight records, detailing the legal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein between May 2008 and July 2009. It covers his guilty plea to state solicitation charges, his 18-month sentencing, the subsequent work release program where he spent 12 hours a day at his office, and his early release in 2009. The text also highlights the Miami Herald's investigative work ('Perversion of Justice') in exposing the deal and the lack of notification provided to victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act.

Resolution of Epstein investigation
We are calling to inform you about the resolution of the Epstein investigation and to thank you for your help. Mr. Epstein pled guilty to one child sex offense that will require him to register as a sex offender for life and received a sentence of 18 months imprisonment followed by one year of home confinement. Mr. Epstein also made a concession regarding the payment of restitution. All of these terms are set out in a letter that AUSA Villafaña is going to send out. Do you have a lawyer? Get name or address. If not[,] where do you want [the] letter sent? If you have questions when you receive the letter, please understand that we cannot provide legal advice but the lawyers at the following victim rights organizations are able to help you at no cost to you. (Provide names and phone numbers) Also ask about counseling and let them know that counseling is still available even though the investigation is closed.
