This legal document is a page from a government motion arguing against publicizing the full names of four minor victims in an upcoming criminal trial. The government contends that the defense has not shown a specific need for this disclosure, and that the court should prioritize the victims' privacy and dignity. The motion cites several legal precedents that support protecting witnesses' identities, especially when safety and privacy are concerns.
This document is page 6 of a legal filing from Case 1:20-cr-00330 (USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on October 29, 2021. It discusses legal standards and Second Circuit precedents regarding the protection of witness identities versus a defendant's right to cross-examination. The text cites various cases (Marcus, Marti, Urena, Cavallaro) to support the argument that courts must balance witness safety against the defense's need for information, particularly in cases involving sex trafficking or safety risks.
