Judge Berates Lawyers for ‘Inadvertently' Disclosing Epstein Victim Names
10:12 GMT 13.01.2024 (Updated: 12:49 GMT 13.01.2024) The US District Court for the Southern District of New York earlier unsealed scores of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, identifying multiple individuals, some of whom include prominent politicians and notable public figures.
Lawyers failed to properly redact some of the files tied to
the Jeffrey Epstein case, harming the late convicted pedophile’s victims, District Judge Loretta Preska has admitted.
According to the judge, the lawyers’ failure to remove classified information resulted in the disclosure of photos, phone numbers, and email addresses of people tied to the case, including Epstein’s victims, referred to as 'Jane Does.'
"Counsel is thus reminded of the human cost of inadvertently disclosing the names and identifying information of Does, who should have remained under seal," Preska pointed out.
The victims and others "have reported fearing for their safety and the safety of loved ones," the judge said, adding that their reputations and personal relationships have been affected.
In early January, Preska ordered
the release of nearly 200 names tied to the Epstein case, although two people requested their identification remain sealed for the time being, due to the possibility of physical harm. The names include accusers and witnesses in the case.
The filings include excerpts of depositions with
former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and Virgina Giuffre, who previously accused Maxwell of facilitating her sexual abuse after being introduced to Epstein.
Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in prison on a variety of charges, including sex trafficking for her involvement with Epstein's criminal doing.
Epstein faced 45 years in prison before he was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on August 10, 2019. It happened more than a decade after his first conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender. In the latter case, he was accused of running a "vast network" of underage girls for sex. He had pleaded not guilty.
His death sparked controversies and wild conspiracy theories that alleged he was silenced in order to protect his more powerful associates.
