This legal document is a filing on behalf of victims in the Epstein/Maxwell case, respectfully requesting the Court to implement specific protective measures before unsealing grand jury materials. The requests include requiring the government to confer with victims' counsel, judicial in-camera review of the materials, and pre-release review by victims' counsel to propose redactions. The filing argues these safeguards are essential to protect the survivors' safety, privacy, and dignity from further trauma, especially given recent events concerning Ms. Maxwell.
This document is a Court Order filed on July 22, 2025, by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer in the case of USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The Judge acknowledges the Government's motion to unseal grand jury transcripts but states the Court cannot rule without a Memorandum of Law addressing the specific exceptions to Grand Jury secrecy (Rule 6(e)). A footnote notes a parallel motion was filed in the case against Jeffrey Epstein.
This document is page 2 of a legal filing dated August 21, 2020, addressed to the Honorable Alison J. Nathan. The author, presumably the Government, argues for keeping grand jury-related exhibits under seal by citing historical precedent for grand jury secrecy and analyzing the First Amendment's presumptive right of public access. The filing references multiple court cases to support the position that sealing is justified and necessary to protect higher values, even when a presumptive right of access applies.
This document, a legal filing, discusses the strict legal standard for unsealing grand jury testimony, emphasizing that it should only be done in rare, 'exceptional circumstances' to preserve the integrity of grand jury secrecy. It argues against the Government's motion to unseal summary-witness testimony, contending that such an action would undermine the foundations of secrecy and that the redundancy of the testimony with evidence from Maxwell's trial does not justify its release.
This legal document discusses the timing of grand jury proceedings as a factor in deciding whether to release information to the public. It contrasts the recent case involving Maxwell and Epstein, where victims are still alive and the events are relatively recent, with historical precedents where the passage of time has diminished the need for secrecy. The argument suggests that the circumstances of the Maxwell case, particularly its recency, weigh against the release of grand jury materials.
This is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. Dated January 28, 2021, the letter responds to a court order about proposed redactions to the defendant's pre-trial motions. The Government states its agreement with the proposed redactions, arguing they are necessary to protect the integrity of an ongoing investigation, maintain grand jury secrecy, and protect the privacy of victim-witnesses.
