Relationship Details

Memorandum Opinion and Order by Judge Alison J. Nathan in US v. Maxwell denying the defendant's request to broadly modify a protective order to use criminal discovery documents in civil cases. The Court found Maxwell failed to show good cause or relevance for the modification. However, the Court permitted Maxwell to share specific factual information regarding grand jury subpoenas and prior rulings by other courts ('Court-1' and 'Court-2') with relevant judicial officers under seal, as these facts were largely public record.

This document is an addendum to a legal opinion concerning the potential extradition of Ghislaine Maxwell from England and Wales to the United States. It reaffirms the original opinion's conclusions that her extradition is highly likely, bail would almost certainly be denied, and she would be unable to successfully resist extradition based on the charges in a July 2020 indictment. The addendum also clarifies the relevance of a potential waiver of extradition in UK legal proceedings.

This legal document is a page from a court filing, likely a judicial opinion, concerning a bail motion for a defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell. The Court reaffirms its conclusion that the defendant is a flight risk due to her substantial international ties, multiple foreign citizenships (including French), and connections abroad. The document analyzes the defendant's offer to waive extradition rights from France and the UK, noting that the legal weight of such waivers is contested, particularly in light of a letter from the French Ministry of Justice stating that French law "absolutely prohibits" the extradition of its nationals.

This is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding 'United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell'. The Government requests permission to delay the disclosure of sensitive photographs and documents related to victims of Jeffrey Epstein to the defense until eight weeks before trial, citing risks to an ongoing investigation and victim privacy. The defense counsel has objected to this request.

This document is page 20 of a legal filing (Document 148) from February 4, 2021, in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. It outlines a legal argument based on the 'Turkish factors' to justify the defense's request for early disclosure of the government's witness list. The defense argues that Maxwell has no criminal history, is not a danger to the community, and that the complexity of the case combined with the global pandemic necessitates this disclosure for fair preparation.

This document is page 6 of a legal filing dated October 23, 2020, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team. The text details significant ongoing technical failures at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) regarding Maxwell's ability to access discovery materials on provided hard drives. Despite multiple letters and conference calls between August and October 2020, the Government and MDC IT staff failed to provide a functional computer or readable files, severely impairing Maxwell's ability to prepare her defense.

This document is a cover page for Exhibit D (Doc. 270) within a larger legal case (Case 21-770). It is titled 'Government's Response to Ghislaine Maxwell's conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center' and is dated May 5, 2021.

This document is page 8 of a court filing (Document 102) from December 28, 2020, in the case US v. Maxwell. It details the Court's reasoning for denying bail, citing Ghislaine Maxwell as a 'substantial actual risk of flight.' The text highlights her 'significant financial resources,' her failure to provide a full financial accounting, and her 'demonstrated sophistication' in hiding both her assets and herself from the public and the Government.

This Addendum Opinion, filed on December 23, 2020, addresses matters of English extradition law concerning Ghislaine Maxwell. It reaffirms that it is highly unlikely Maxwell could successfully resist extradition to the United States for charges in a July 2020 indictment, and that bail would likely be refused if she had absconded from prior proceedings. The document also notes that Maxwell's waiver of extradition would be admissible but not compel consent, though it would be a relevant factor in contested proceedings.

This document is the cover page for Exhibit D, a legal filing from May 5, 2021, in Case 21-58.

This document is page 14 of a legal opinion (likely from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals) affirming a District Court's decision to deny Ghislaine Maxwell's motion to dismiss charges based on timeliness. The court rejects Maxwell's arguments regarding the statute of limitations and the applicability of the 2003 amendment to 18 U.S.C. § 3283, ruling that the offenses involving sexual abuse of minors fall within the extended statute of limitations. The document cites legal precedents including Weingarten v. United States and United States v. Sampson.

This document is a page from the court transcript of the United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE).
