+ Jeffrey Epstein Story in the New York Times Is Very, Very
3
+ Strange
4
+ We keep re-reading the story on Jeffrey Epstein in the New York Times, trying to decide what it is that
5
+ makes it read so queer. It's not just that it took the paper so long to come around with a story. It's not just
6
+ that this story appears now with almost no breaking news hook. There's something weird about the
7
+ structure of the thing.
8
+ The headline. "Questions of Preferential Treatment Are Raised in Sex Case Against Money Manager" We're
9
+ already off onto a meta-story story here. A more straight forward report would be headed "Accusations of
10
+ Sex Crimes Made Against Money Manager." The Times, however, goes with the secondary question—
11
+ whether or not Epstein is getting preferential treatment in the case.
12
+ The lede. Abby Goodnough begins not with the charges against Epstein but with the image of police
13
+ sneaking around through his garbage and phone records. This is how you might begin a screenplay about
14
+ Epstein but in a news story, well, it has the effect of pushing Epstein's alleged misdeeds into the
15
+ background.
16
+ The body. In what follows, the Times devotes a total of 437 words to the allegations against Epstein,
17
+ around 250 words to allegations that Epstein received preferential treatment and around 236 words to
18
+ quoting or summarizing the arguments of Epstein's lawyers. So, if the story itself is pretty balanced between
19
+ the actual allegations and the allegations about the allegations, why does the headline and the lead imply
20
+ the real story here is about the treatment of Epstein rather than what he's alleged to have done?
21
+ Maybe the possibility of a corrupt prosecution is more interesting to the Times but surely it deserves to be
22
+ placed behind the coverage of the allegations themselves. Are ink-and-paper journalists so convinced that
23
+ the "cover-up is worse than the crime" that they don't care so much about the crimes anymore?
24
+ Look. We're glad the Times finally decided the story was fit to print-although we wonder what could have
25
+ possibly taken them so long. And what's more, we wonder why they're coverage is so, well, poorly focused.

28
+ As It Turns Out, Jeffrey Epstein Actually Exists
29
+ There were a few moments now and then when we started to wonder whether we were hallucinating
30
+ Jeffrey Epstein. After all, if the New York Times wasn't reporting on the story it couldn't really be happening,
31
+ could it? This is the paper that printed dozens upon dozens of articles on the Augusta National Golf Club's
32
+ exclusion of women-complete with howler headlines breaking non-news such as "CBS Refuses Not To
33
+ Show Masters"-and if they've got room for that sort of thing, surely at some point over the summer they
34
+ might have found room to print one story about the prostitution charges against the mysterious money
35
+ So you can imagine our relief Sunday morning when we woke up to discover that we had been right all
36
+ along. The Jeffrey Epstein story is happening. It is news worthy. It is fit to print. And we know all this
37
+ because it is, finally, in the New York Times.

70

+ Why I'm Keeping Jeffrey Epstein's Money: Sheriff Greg Solano
83
+ Explains
84
+ The short answer: because being sheriff makes him poor.
85
+ Steve Terrell, political reporter for The Santa Fe New Mexican called me tonight to get my comments on the
86
+ indictment. He asked me whether I would be returning the money he donated to my campaign. I received
87
+ the $2000 donation in August of 2005 and used it for the June 2006 Primary Campaign. I completed the
88
+ June Primary having spent all donations and actually ending the campaign over $2000 in debt. That debt
89
+ means that the remaining money was paid out of my pocket. So the short answer is there is nothing left to
90
+ return. It is now nearly a year since I recieved the donation and the campaign for Sheriff is over and done.
91
+ As I have no Republican opponent I will not have to wage a General Election Campaign. I did not plan on
92
+ any further fundraising although some who read in my campaign reports that I had ended with a debt
93
+ offered to raise some additional money to clear the debt. If I did have the money I probably would return it
94
+ or give it to a charity as the $2000, returned to Mr. Epstein who is a billionaire would probably not mean

97
+ Jeffrey Epstein's Legal Immunity: Maybe It's Politics
98
+ Jeffrey Epstein has some powerful friends but it seems he's made some pretty vocal enemies as well. Last
99
+ night Bill O'Reilly apparently delivered his "Memo" on the subject of the Epstein prosecution-charging
100
+ prosecutor Krischer with political bias. The gist of it is that Krischer was the prosecutor responsible for
101
+ bringing charges of drug abuse against Rush Limbaugh, but now seems to be going easy on Epstein. You
102
+ get the picture tough on Republicans, easy on Democrats. Here's O'Reilly on the Epstein situation.
103
+ Politics does play a role in local prosecutions, no question about it. And when you examine how much time
104
+ and effort state attorney Krischer put into trying to ruin Rush Limbaugh as opposed to what he's doing now
105
+ in the far more serious case of Jeffrey Epstein? Many, many questions come to mind and none of those
106
+ questions reflect well on Barry Krischer.
107
+ Ugh. We hope this isn't what is going on. There's nothing more boring than a debate about political biases.

112
+ Epstein's Defense Tactic-Smear Everyone
113
+ It's tough to tell from our safe remove in lower Manhattan exactly what's been going on down in Palm
114
+ Beach between the prosecutors and the police. The Florida prosecutors didn't charge Jeffrey Epstein
115
+ directly-perhaps because Epstein's legal dream team intimidated them convinced them that the girls police
116
+ had interviewed were not credible witnesses-and the grand jury chose only to indict Epstein for solicitation.
117
+ While that charge is still a felony, it is far less serious than the sex with minors charges police had sought.
118
+ What's more, the grand jury neglected to charge Epstein's assistant |
119
+ had an instrumental role in setting up the sessions with underage girls, with anything at all. Frustrated with
120
+ the local prosecutors, the police have now turned the case over to the FBI in an attempt to have federal
121
+ prosecutors bring more serious charges.
122
+ So, of course, Epstein's lawyers have gone beyond smearing the girls who allegedly spent time nearly naked
123
+ rubbing lotion into the money manager while he rubbed one out into a towel. They are also attacking Palm
124
+ Beach Police Chief Epstein, Michael Reiter, 53. They've referred to the chief's pursuit of Epstein as
125
+ "craziness," and characterized his dispute with prosecutors as "childish." Someone has also been spreading
126
+ rumors that Reiter is involved in a "messy divorce"—which is disgusting non-sequitur that seems clearly
127
+ intended to intimidate Reiter into back off the case.
128
+ As we said, it's tough to tell exactly what is going on from this remove. But the Palm Beach Post, which is
129
+ one of the few mainstream newspapers covering this story in any detail, recently printed a story that seems
130
+ to refute the smears against Reiter. It paints as a well-respected professional. Oddly enough, however, the
131
+ prosecutor Reiter has sought to have removed from the case, State Attorney Barry Krischer, also seems to
132
+ be well respected. As we said, it's hard to tell what is going on down in the world of Palm Beach.
133
+ But what's not hard to see is that the Epstein defense has developed a pattern-painting everyone accusing
134
+ Epstein of crimes as disrespectable.

+ Jeffrey Epstein Sex Scandal Roils New Mexico Politics
138
+ Stick another pin into your map tracking the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. The governor of New
139
+ Mexico, Bill Richardson, is donating the campaign contributions he got from Epstein to local charities, a New
140
+ Mexico newspaper is reporting.
141
+ Epstein is said to own one of the largest private home in New Mexico, a 26,700-square-foot hilltop fortress
142
+ mansion on his Zorro ranch.
143
+ Epstein's been pretty active in New Mexican politics. He reportedly donated $50,000 for Richardson's 2002
144
+ campaign and another $50,000 to Richardson's re-election campaign this year, $15,000 to attorney genera
145
+ andidate Gary King, $10,000 to state land commissioner candidate Jim Baca and $2,000 to Santa Fe

150

152

+ FBI Mulling Jeffrey Epstein Investigation
157

160
+ purchased from her family in eastern Europe to have sex with one of his untrained masseuses while he
161

162
+ Palm Beach police, frustrated with what they reportedly view as a lack of dedication on the part of local

168
+ Jeffrey Epstein: The Story So Far
169
+ This morning's Palm Beach Post carries a lengthy article on Jeffrey Epstein. It mostly tracks what you've
170
+ already read here or elsewhere but is worth reading if you haven't followed all the details. Among the
171
+ highlights:
172
+ Background.
173
+ • Jeffrey Epstein's early career at Dalton and Bear Stearns.
174
+ • His earlier disputes with former business partners and Citigroup.
175
+ • Rumors that he left Bear Stearns under an SEC inquiry cloud.
176
+ • Also rumored to have been a spook of some sort.
177
+ • Mentored by Steven Hoffenberg "now serving a prison term after "bilking investors out of more than $450
178
+ million in one of the largest Ponzi schemes in American history.'
179
+ • His real estate: private island, huge townhouse in Manhattan, gigantic in new Mexico and a alleged
180
+ teenage petting zoo mansion in Palm Beach.
181
+ • Powerful friends: top scientists, former Harvard president Larry Summers, Daily News publisher Mort
182
+ Zuckerman and Bill Clinton.
183
+ • Thought to have 15 clients but only one is known-the Wexner family, founders of The Limited clothing
184
+ stores.
185
+ EFTA00067276
186
+
187
+ Women.
188
+ • Long linked to media mogul Robert Maxwell's daughter Ghislaine Maxwell.
189
+ • Said to have also dated a former Miss Sweden and a Romanian model.
190
+ The Case.
191
+ • Investigation began after a mother heard her daughter discussing trips to Epstein's place and contacted
192
+ police
193
+ • Private investigators working for Epstein contacted witnesses during the investigation.
194
+ • Disputes arose between prosecutors and police.
195
+ • An early plea bargain which would have kept Epstein out of jail fell apart
196
+ • Alan Dershowitz flew to Palm Beach to paint the girls making the allegations against Epstein as lying
197
+ thieving, drug and alcohol abusing and unreliable.
198
+ • The "Heidi Fleiss" of Palm Beach is alleged to have brought six girls between ages 14 and 18 to Epstein's
199
+ house for massages.
200
+ While admitting that Epstein had girls over to administer massages, Epstein's camp maintains he is innocent
201
+ of any criminal wrong-doing. One of his lawyers even insists Epstein will emerge from the case with his
202
+ reputation untarnished.

+ Clearly, This Is When A Private Plane Comes In Handy
206
+ Jossip-which along with DealBreaker, Gawker and the Palm Beach Post is just about the only media outlet
207
+ covering the Jeffrey Epstein story—notes that terrorists have totally screwed any plans Epstein might have
208
+ had to fly commercial this weekend. No batteries or liquids allowed on planes?
209
+ Which more or less means Jeffrey Epstein's weekend is totally fucked. How can he enjoy a night of petting
210
+ zoo on his private jet without massage oils and working vibrators? Talk about inconvenience.
211
+ Ah. Poor innocent Jossip. Epstein doesn't fly commercial and you can bring whatever you want onto your
212
+ private jet. This is what private planes are for. So even terrorists can't fuck with your travel plans.
213
+ [Note: As we've said before, everything seems dirty when it is about Epstein, even perfectly ordinary
214
+ hrases like "comes in handy." Even "Palm Beach Post" is kind of icky and we're not sure why. We're sorry
215
+ hat's not out fault. It's either Eostein's or those Iving little drua addict sluts
216
+ [Another note: Shouldn't we have gone with some version of "If Epstein can't travel with lube and vibrators,
217
+ the terrorists win?*-Ed. Uhm, are we still using that joke? If that hasn't jumped the shark, I just threw up
218
+ in my mouth a little. Very funny. If we can still do these '—Ed' jokes, I think we can still do the terrorists win
219
+ jokes.—Ed. I hope meta is still funny.]

222
+ Epstein Got Off Too Easy, Palm Beach Post Says
223
+ EFTA00067277
224
+
225
+ Why didn't prosecutors charge Jeffrey Epstein with more serious crimes? The police reports
226
+ include allegations of sexually-tinged massages with girls as young as 14, human trafficking and something
227
+ that seems a lot like rape to us. But he gets slapped with nothing more than a single solicitation charge
228
+ after prosecutors referred the case to a grand jury.
229
+ So what happened? It seems that Epstein's high-powered legal team crafted an ingenious and original
230
+ "drunk, drug-addled lying sluts" defense and intimidated the prosecutors out of bringing charges. Here's
231
+ how the Palm Beach Post puts it:
232
+ The girls, Mr. Dershowitz told prosecutors, had written on myspace.com about smoking marijuana and
233
+ drinking alcohol. But if the girls have a credibility problem, what about Jeffrey Epstein? Mr. Goldberger, told
234
+ The Post: "Mr. Epstein absolutely insisted anybody who came to his house be over the age of 18. How he
235
+ verified that, I don't know." And prosecutors took him at his word?
236
+ A more charitable way to look at the situation is that prosecutors may have been hesitant to put teenage
237
+ girls on the stand knowing that Epstein's lawyers would likely turn his trial into a forum for attacks on their
238
+ characters, sexual history and allegations of drug use and prostitution.

+ a quick look at the line coming out from Epstein's camp.
245
+ In Epstein's army: attorneys Jack Goldberger, Alan Dershowitz and. Roy Black. New York publicist Dan
246
+ Klores and an unnamed Los Angeles publicist.
247
+ The spin: these girls are liars, thieves and drug-users. The Palm Beach police are on a childish vendetta.
248
+ What Epstein's camp admits: Epstein did have young women over to his house to administer massages
249
+ There is no explanation for why he was paying untrained girls upwards of $200 for massages
250
+ What they're denying: That Epstein had any knowledge the girls were underage or that Epstein had sex with
251
+ any underage girls.
252
+ There's a gap between what has been alleged and what is being denied, and that gap might be informative.
253
+ Even if Epstein didn't 'have sex' with the girls, did he have them strip and did he masturbate while they
254
+ massaged him?
255
+ Ugh. Suddenly we're back in Clinton-Lewinsky territory, trying to guess at what the meaning of 'sex' is.

+ Joe Francis and The Girls Gone Wild Theory of Jeff
261
+ Epstein
262
+ Joe Francis, the man who built an empire on young girls exposing themselves for his "Girls Gone Wild"
263
+ videos, offers a completely self-serving theory about entrepreneurialism and sex to a writer for the LA Times
264
+ magazine.
265
+ "Sex sells everything," he says.
266
+ "It drives every buying decision ... I hate to get too deep and philosophical
267
+ here, but only the guys with the greatest sexual appetites are the ones who are the most driven and most
268
+ successful."
269
+ This was crap when we first heard it as the feminist theory of capitalism that successful businessmen were
270
+ imply acting out their rape fantasies on the economy. And it's truly disgusting crap coming from anyon
271
+ who does the things Joe Francis is alleged to have done in the article-assaulting a reporter, getting
272
+ teenager drunk and more-or-less raping her, and generally being an ass. No idea about how much of this
273
+ story is accurate but if even if it's dimes-from-dollars, it's awful stuff.
274
+ We couldn't help but remember that Jeffrey Epstein is reportedly interested in alternative theories of
275
+ evolutionary psychology. Maybe he and Joe should get in touch with each other.

282

+ work of E.O. Wilson might offer an insight into his alleged behavor:
284
+ My question about all this is simple. Is there a connection between the two threads in Jeffrey Epstein's life?
285
+ Between his scientific beliefs about human nature and his behavior toward women (and girls)? Put another
286

305
+ Jeffrey Epstein and Those Nobel Prize Winning Orgiasts
306
+ As we mentioned earlier today, over on the very, very much Not Safe For Work Moneyshot blog, the
307
+ pseudonymous Shermon McCoy claims that he's been at Jeffrey Epstein parties in which Nobel prize winners
308
+ and various wealthy folks were all surrounded by young, "nude eastern european girls, frolicking with them,
309
+ and then proceeding into one big orgy party." Uhm, okay. So who were these Nobel prize winners? So far
310
+ we haven't been able to confirm anything.
311
+ But we have uncovered published reports about a boondoggle orgy physics symposium in St. Thomas that
312
+ Epstein organized, which was attended by Nobel prize winners Gerardus't Hooft, David Gross and Frank
313
+ Wilczek, and physicist Stephen Hawking. We don't want to suggest that Hawking got all freaky with
314
+ Epstein's alleged sex-slave. Or that anyone did anything wrong or unbecoming. Or that any of these physics
315
+ guys have ever had sex with anyone, for that matter.
316
+ But the story does suggest it wasn't all equations and string theory.
317
+ Delegates from the University of the Virgin Islands and Antilles School also attended the reception, where a
318
+ few free spirited physicists braved the dance floor.
319
+ "There is no agenda except fun and physics, and that's fun with a capital 'F, Epstein said.
320
+ Before the Epstein story broke we might have read that with a straight face. Now we cannot help but
321
+ wonder exactly who these "delegates" were. Were they professors? Or students? And why do we think that
322
+ the capital "F" wasn't just for fun?
323
+ That's probably completely unfair. But like we said before. In light of the allegations, everything we read
324
+ about Epstein seems creepy.

330
+ STANLEY KUBRICK COLLECTION
331
+ According to the anonymous author of TheMoneyShot, Shermon McCoy (har), our
332
+ flood-the-zone coverage of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged personal pubescent predilictions
333
+ is entirely based on one thing: we're jealous!
334
+ All these people are, I suspect, just slightly jealous that they were never invited to a
335
+ Epstein party.** Being one of those privy to just such an event- barely-legal (I hope!)
336
+ Russian girls and all- I can say that I understand why. There really is nothing else I
337
+ have ever experienced quite like it. Nobel prize winners, a bunch of people intimately
338
+ involved in ... cough! cough! Numerix cough! and cough! Prediction Company cough!
339
+ cough!, Jeff himself, and some rich people who really don't matter- all surrounded by
340
+ EYES WIDE SHUT
341
+ 18-, 19-, and 20- (again, I hope!) year old nude eastern european girls, frolicking
342
+ with them, and then proceeding into one big orgy party. It was really strikingly
343
+ similar to Eyes Wide Shut. Without the costumes, that is.
344
+ Well, Sherman, we'll admit that we're jealous of your blog idea. Porn and finance! At the same time! Two
345
+ great tastes that go great together. Why didn't we think of that?***
346
+ it more importantly, we're deeply curious about which Nobel prize winners have been known to froli
347
+ ans tweed with nude Eastern European girls. And we're curious about the rich people who don't matter a
348
+ well. C'mon! Give us a hint!
349
+ ** Well, that's a little presumptuous, Sherman.
350
+ *** No, seriously. Why didn't we think of that? Minkin? Carney?

353
+ The Perfect Storm, DealBreaker Style
354
+ We've been spending some time trying to clear away the murk and shine some light into the shadows of
355
+ Jeffrey Epstein's financial dealings in an effort to provide some, uhm, actual financial reporting related to
356

357
+ we're still digging.
358
+ What we have discovered, however, is a brief document amending a credit agreement for RELIANT
359
+ PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. The amendment replaces the administrative agent for the credit. But what caught
360
+ our eye was the confluence of three DealBreaker subjects all in the same documents.
361
+ The signature pages include lines for Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, who is scheduled to appear before

363
+ Now this is no doubt just a coincidence, and not really a conspiracy to make our heads explode. We should
364
+ probably just take a deep breath and then post a Venn Diagram illustrating the connections but our
365
+ diagramist is in meetings off-site.
366

367

374
+ Does the fact that Jeffrey Epstein taught high school math and physics at Dalton for three
375
+ years creep anyone else out? Unless you've been depending on the New York Times for your
376
+ news, by now you know that Jeffrey Epstein has been charged with felony solicitation of

378

379
+ age girls to co-operate in some pretty raunchy scenarios. This raises the question: how long has this been
380
+ Did you go to Dalton in the mid-seventies? Epstein taught there from 1973 through 1975, when he left to
381
+ take a job at Bear Stearns. We'd love to hear from you if you remember Epstein from those years, whatever

388
+ On further reflection, maybe giving money back to Jeffrey
389
+ Epstein isn't such a good plan
390
+ Why are Mark Green and Eliot Spitzer handing $60,000.00 over to alleged money manager cum massage
391
+ masturbator Jeffrey Epstein? It's pretty standard procedure these days for politicians to send back
392
+ contributions from donors accused of crime or mired in scandal, and we quess allegations of soliciting
393
+ prostitution, paying for naked massages from teenagers, human trafficking and all around pervy weirdness
394

395
+ to a worthy cause, such a home for sexually abused children? Why should Epstein be enriched by these
396
+ allegations?
397
+ Let's put it this way. By sending back Epstein's $10,000 donation, Attorney General candidate Green just
398

+ In Retrospect, Everything Ever Said About Jeffrey Epstein
466
+ Seems Creepy

+ EFTA00067284
468
+
469
+ If you spend even a few moments reading the probable cause affidavit detailing mysterious money manager
470
+ Jeffrey Epstein's alleged penchant for paying naked teenagers to massage him while he, uhm, whacked-off,
471
+ everything else you read about him starts to seem creepy too.
472
+ There's the now famous line in New York magazine's profile. You know, the one where Donald Trump is
473
+ quoted as saying about Epstein, "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women
474
+ as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social
475
+ life. " Wow. That's awkward now.
476
+ But it doesn't stop there. One thing that's clear from the affidavit is that Epstein's assistant
477
+ alleged to have played a central role in procuring the high school girls who rubbed him down for a couple of
478
+ hundred dollars a pop. She's said to have called the girls when Epstein was in town, got them situated in his
479
+ bedroom and even passed around refreshing beverages for the girls to enjoy.
480
+ As it turns out, one of the rare journalism interviews Epstein has given involved his executive assistants. The
481
+ New York Times story "Working for Top Bosses on Wall St. Has Its Perks" (cough, pimping, cough) is now
482
+ hidden safely from prying eyes behind the Times Select firewall but DealBreaker has boldy shelled out the
483
+ Abe Lincoln to bring the story to our readers. After the jump, we bring you the excerpts with emphasis and
484

37
+ Comparison of the S1 Indictment and the S2 Indictment
38
+ Count One of the S2 Indictment charges the defendant with participating in a conspiracy
39
+ to entice minors to travel, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, which is the same statutory violation as
40
+ Count One of the S1 Indictment. Whereas Count One of the S1 Indictment alleged that this
41
+ conspiracy lasted through in or about 1997, Count One of the S2 Indictment alleges that the
42
+ conspiracy continued through in or about 2004 and specifically identifies a fourth victim, Minor
43
+ Victim-4, who was a vietim of this conspiracy between approximately 2001 and 2004.
44
+ Count Two of the S2 Indictment remains identical to Count Two of the S1 Indictment and
45
+ is unchanged.
46
+ Count Three of the S2 Indictment charges the defendant with participating in a conspiracy
47
+ to transport minors, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, which is the same statutory violation as Count
48
+ Three of the S1 Indictment. Whereas Count Three of the S1 Indictment alleged that this conspiracy
49
+ lasted through in or about 1997, Count Three of the S2 Indictment alleges that the conspiracy
50
+ continued through in or about 2004 and specifically identifies a fourth victim, Minor Victim-4,
51
+ who was a victim of this conspiracy between approximately 2001 and 2004.
52
+ Count Four of the S2 Indictment remains identical to Count Four of the S1 Indictment and
53
+ is unchanged.
54
+ Count Five of the S2 Indictment adds a new charge against the defendant. In particular,
55
+ Count Five alleges that the defendant participated in a sex trafficking conspiracy between
56
+ approximately 2001 and 2004, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371. The S2 Indictment specifically
57
+ identifies Minor Vietim-4 as a victim of this conspiracy.
58
+ EFTA00080583
59
+
60
+ Page 3
61
+ Count Six of the S2 Indictment adds another new charge against the defendant. In
62
+ particular, Count Six alleges that the defendant participated in the sex trafficking of a minor, and
63
+ aided and abetted the same, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591 and 2. The S2 Indictment
64
+ specifically identifies Minor Victim-4 as the victim of this count.
65
+ Count Seven of the S2 Indictment is identical to Count Five of the S1 Indictment and is

69
+ Il.
70
+ Disclosures
71
+ The Government has already produced to the defense all material that constitutes Rule 16
72
+ discovery related to the new allegations and charges contained in the S2 Indictment. In particular,
73
+ the Government has from the outset approached its Rule 16 productions in this case as though the
74
+ allegations
75
+ covered a broader time period through at least 2005, rather than limiting those
76
+ productions to the time period alleged in the S1 Indictment (1994 to 1997). As a result, the
77
+ Government has already produced to the defense all Rule 16 material relevant to the S2 Indictment
78
+ of which it is aware in the Prosecution Team's possession. These Rule 16 materials included
79
+ productions from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") Palm Beach Resident
80
+ Agency (the "FBI Florida Office"), the FBI New York Office, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for
81
+ the Southern District of New York.
82
+ To assist the defense in preparing for trial on the new allegations contained in the S2
83
+ Indictment, today the Government provided the defense with Minor Victim-4's month and year of
84
+ birth. Additionally, in order to aid the defense in its trial preparation and review of the discovery,
85
+ EFTA00080584
86
+
87
+ Page 4
88
+ today the Government provided the defense with a list of Bates ranges within the discovery
89
+ materials produced to date that are particularly relevant to Minor Victim-4. Although that list is
90
+ not exhaustive and does not include every document that may be relevant to Minor Vietim-4, it
91
+ identifies key pieces of evidence regarding this victim.
92
+ Additionally, in order to ensure that the defense has adequate time to prepare for trial, the
93
+ Government intends to begin its production to the defense of non-testifying witness statements by
94
+ April 12, 2021, approximately three months in advance of trial. This production will include the
95
+ statements of more than 250 witnesses related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and his
96
+ associates in the Government's possession whom the Government does not currently expect to call
97
+ to testify at trial. The Government is continuing to review its files for witness statements and will
98
+ produce any additional non-testifying witness statements that come to light on a rolling basis as
99
+ promptly as possible in advance of trial.
100
+ Finally, given the expanded charges in the S2 Indictment, the Government is prepared to
101
+ produce Jencks Act and Giglio material for witnesses it expects to call at trial six weeks, rather
102
+ than four weeks, in advance of trial. These productions, together with the guidance provided to
103
+ the defense today regarding discovery relating to Minor Victim-4, should provide ample time for
104
+ the defense to prepare for trial and proceed as scheduled on July 12, 2021.
105
+ II.
106
+ Motions
107
+ In light of the new allegations and charges contained in the S2 Indictment, the Government
108
+ will meet and confer with defense counsel to discuss whether defense counsel wishes to bring
109
+ additional motions (or supplement existing motions) based on the S2 Indictment and, if so, to
110
+ discuss a proposed schedule for any additional briefing. Although the S2 Indictment should have
111
+ EFTA00080585
112
+
113
+ Page 5
114
+ no impact on several of the defendant's motions, such as the motions to suppress (Motion 3 and
115
+ Motion 11), the motion to dismiss the perjury counts (Motion 4), and the motion to strike
116
+ allegations regarding Minor Victim-3 as surplusage (Motion 6), the Government does not
117
+ anticipate objecting to any defense request to file supplemental briefing regarding any issue that is
118
+ implicated by the S2 Indictment. The Government also notes that the S2 Indictment was returned
119
+ by a grand jury sitting in Manhattan, rendering moot the defendant's motion to dismiss based on
120
+ the use of a grand jury sitting in White Plains (Motion 9).

11
+ Jeffrey Epstein's Estate May Set Up a Program to Pay Accusers
12
+ A proposal for a "claims resolution program" was referred to in a court filing by a lawyer for a woman who accused the
13
+ financier of sexual abuse. Not all the plaintiffs' lawyers are on board.
14
+ By Matthew Goldstein
15
+ Nov. 13, 2019
16
+ Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein's estate are considering setting up a program to resolve claims filed by women
17
+ who say they were abused by the financier, who killed himself in August while facing federal sex
18
+ trafficking charges.
19
+ The plan was disclosed in a court filing on Tuesday by a lawyer for one of Mr. Epstein's accusers, who is
20
+ suing the estate in federal court in Manhattan. The filing said lawyers for Mr. Epstein's estate had
21
+ informed plaintiffs that they were planning to disclose details of a "claims resolution program" to a court
22
+ in the United States Virgin Islands, where the mysteriously wealthy Mr. Epstein had his will filed shortly
23
+ before his death.
24
+ The estate has retained Kenneth R. Feinberg, the noted lawyer who specializes in compensating victims, to
25
+ set up the program, his team confirmed late Wednesday. His associates Camille Biros and Jordana
26
+ Feldman have also been tapped, and Ms. Feldman will carry out the plan once it is set up and if it meets
27
+ court approval. Ms. Biros has been an architect of programs to provide restitution to victims of the
28
+ Catholic Church abuse scandal. Ms. Feldman most recently played a critical role in overseeing the
29
+ administration of the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund.
30
+ But the proposal from lawyers for the estate, which is valued at about $577 million, was facing resistance
31
+ earlier in the day.
32
+ Bradley Edwards, the lawyer for the accuser, said in the court filing that his client "does not believe that
33
+ the use of any alternative dispute resolution should stay or modify the course of litigation in this matter."
34
+ A lawyer for the estate wrote to one accuser's lawyer and described the proposed program as "voluntary,"
35
+ according to emails reviewed by The New York Times. Even so, the accuser's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan,
36
+ objected to the plan's being put together without consulting with the accusers and their lawyers.
37
+ "Settlement, after all, is a two-way street," Ms. Kaplan said in an emailed response, which was also sent to
38
+ lawyers for other accusers. She said it was "astonishing" that the lawyers for Mr. Epstein's estate planned
39
+ to go to court in the Virgin Islands without first discussing the plan.
40
+ "In fact, it feels very much like a continuation of his crimes and abuse after his death," she wrote.
41
+ The emails were later included in a public court filing on Wednesday afternoon.
42
+ EFTA00040555
43
+
44
+ David Brodie, another accuser's lawyer, said that he was "cautiously optimistic" about the possible
45
+ resolution program, but that there were many questions about how claims would be handled.
46
+ "These women have already endured horrific abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and have waited many
47
+ years for justice," he said. "To turn their personal experiences over to one person selected by Jeffrey
48
+ Epstein's estate to make a binding decision (which may not be disputed) could be a process that may
49
+ exacerbate the victimization of these brave women."
50
+ Bennet Moskowitz, the lawyer hired by Mr. Epstein's estate to handle lawsuits by the accusers, did not
51
+ respond to requests for comment on the emails or the proposed resolution program.
52
+ The executors of Mr. Epstein's estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, also did not respond to a request
53
+ for comment. Mr. Indyke was Mr. Epstein's longtime lawyer in New York, and Mr. Kahn was an
54
+ accountant for some of his companies.
55
+ In the weeks since Mr. Epstein's death, lawsuits against the estate have been piling up.
56
+ On Tuesday, three new lawsuits were filed in Manhattan federal court by Mr. Epstein's accusers, including
57
+ separate lawsuits filed by two sisters
58
+ Their lawyer, David Boies, said he anticipated filing lawsuits on behalf of at least one other woman, and
59
+ called a settlement program "a positive step" toward resolving the claims. "But it is only the first step," he
60
+ Until last month, Mr. Boies's firm represented one of Mr. Epstein's most outspoken accusers,
61
+ in a defamation lawsuit against the former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. A
62
+ federal judge disqualified the firm, saying its lawyers might have to appear as witnesses in the litigation.
63
+ Some accusers are taking advantage of a new law in New York that allows child victims of sexual abuse to
64
+ file claims for damages many years later. Many of Mr. Epstein's accusers said they were abused more than
65
+ a decade ago.
66
+ New York law also permits crime victims to file lawsuits seeking damages within a year of the termination
67
+ of a criminal case against the defendant. The clock on such claims started on Aug. 29, when federal
68
+ prosecutors dismissed a sex-trafficking indictment against Mr. Epstein after his suicide at the Manhattan
69
+ Correctional Center.
70
+ If a claims resolution program is formed, it's possible that dozens of women could seek monetary
71
+ damages. When Mr. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 in Florida state court to a charge of soliciting
72
+ prostitution from a minor, it was estimated in court filings that he had engaged in sexual activity with at
73
+ least 30 underage girls.

93
+ Boies Schiller Flexner attorneys on Tuesday sued the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on behalf of
94
+ at least three women who said they were sexually abused by the deceased financier after
95
+ being recruited into his alleged sex-trafficking network in New York.
96
+ The lawsuits, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, include
97
+ claims for battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress by plaintiffs who said they
98
+ met Epstein and his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, between 1995 and 2002.
99
+ Two of the women,
100
+ and
101
+ were the subjects of New York Times
102
+ reporting in August, which identified the two sisters as the first to report abusive behavior
103
+ by Epstein at his Manhattan townhouse. Though the FBI took up an investigation, the
104
+ Times reported, a widely criticized 2008 plea deal eventually derailed any federal
105
+ prosecution.
106
+ According to
107
+ complaint, Epstein had hired her to purchase art for him,
108
+ though her job responsibilities soon shifted to "focus on monitoring and keeping records of
109
+ who entered Epstein's New York mansion." She said that Epstein took interest in personal
110

+ flown to New York.
113
+ While there
114
+ said, Epstein groped |
115
+ in a movie theater and eventually
116
+ flew the girl to his New Mexico ranch, where he assaulted her. In her own lawsuit
117
+ EFTA00040557
118
+
119
+ said that Maxwell, a British socialite who has been accused of procuring young
120
+ women and underage girls for Epstein, pressured her to have physical contact with Epstein
121
+ and that both adults participated in the abuse, under the guise of a massage.
122
+ Both of the
123
+ and Sigrid McCawley of Boies Schiller.
124
+ are represented in the litigation by David Boies, Joshua Schiller
125
+ claimed in her filing that "Maxwell was regularly bringing school-aged girls to
126
+ the mansion" in New York, and that they were always escorted upstairs.
127
+ who
128
+ was years old at the time, said she was told that the girls were interviewing for modeling
129
+ positions with lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret and was unaware of Epstein's sex-trafficking
130
+ conspiracy at the time.
131
+ The complaint included a reference to former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who
132
+ she said visited the mansion "on a number of occasions" and "would go upstairs at the
133
+ same time the young girls were there."
134
+ While the filing did not contain any explicit allegations of wrongdoing by Dershowitz, it did
135
+ signal the latest salvo in an ongoing feud between the professor and Boies Schiller, which
136
+ has represented Epstein accusers in a range of civil litigation.
137
+ Until recently, Boies and McCawley represented
138
+ who claimed that
139
+ Dershowitz had defamed her through his strong denials of forced sex. Dershowitz has filed
140
+ counterclaims agains
141
+ and last week Boies sued Dershowitz, claiming that he had
142
+ falsely accused him of extortion.
143
+ Dershowitz has repeatedly and forcefully denied allegations that he had sex with anyone in
144
+ Epstein's orbit. On Tuesday he said
145
+ account that she had seen him at
146
+ Epstein's mansion in 1995 was "categorically" false.
147
+ According to Dershowitz, he never visited Epstein's home until after
148
+ ended
149
+ her connection to the financier in the summer of 1996. He said the passage would work to
150
+ undermine her credibility moving forward.
151
+ "It just shows that Boies is more interested in going after me" than in helping his own client,
152
+ Dershowitz said in a brief phone interview.
153
+ EFTA00040558
154
+
155
+ Boies was not immediately available to comment Tuesday.
156
+ A third plaintiff
157
+ on Tuesday said that she was recruited by a fellow massage-
158
+ therapy student in 2002 to interview for a traveling masseuse position with a wealthy
159
+ couple in New York. After speaking with Epstein employee
160
+ said she
161
+ was flown to Manhattan, where she was to be housed at a 66th Street apartment, which
162
+ housed "many of the models and other young women" Epstein was abusing.
163
+ Soon after
164
+ said, Epstein sexually assaulted her as she tried to leave the room after
165
+ he pushed his foot into "her intimate parts" during a foot massage
166
+ said she was so
167
+ traumatized by the encounter that did not finish massage therapy school with the same
168
+ certification that she initially set out to achieve and returned to Ohio shortly after the
169
+ alleged assault.
170
+ All three lawsuits named Darren Indyke, a longtime attorney for Epstein, and Richard
171
+ Kahn, who were named executors of Epstein's estate following his apparent suicide in
172
+ August. Indyke and Kahn are named solely as executors of the estate
173
+ While Epstein's death in federal custody terminated the criminal case against him, plaintiffs
174
+ have sued his estate for civil damages—a process experts have said could take years to
175
+ complete.
176
+ Prosecutors in Manhattan, meanwhile, say they are continuing to investigate whether any
177
+ of Epstein's associates and employees could have been linked to the conspiracy.

9

10

11

12

15

20
+ I will be traveling to Stockholm,
21

22
+ violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2423, among other offenses. AUSAs
23
+ will travel between February 3 (overnight) and February 7, 2020.
24
+ has approved this
25
+ request.'
26
+ In connection with the investigation of criminal conduct undertaken by Jeffrey Epstein
27
+ and certain of his associates, we are investigating whether certain individuals undertook actions
28
+ within the United States that involved the transportation of minors for the purpose of engaging in
29
+ illicit sexual activity. The witness we intend to interview is a citizen and resident of Sweden
30
+ and currently is unable to travel due to medical issues, but would be a potentially valuable
31
+ Witness in our investigation. Specifically, the witness is the relative of a victim in the
32
+ investigation, and may be able to significantly corroborate the victim as well as provide
33
+ additional relevant information, including information required to meet certain elements of the
34
+ crime(s) being investigated.
35
+ Given the critical importance of the witness, and the need to fully debrief the witness over
36
+ a one-day interview, and potentially a subsequent follow-up interview the following day, it is
37
+ necessary for each of AUSAs
38
+ to travel to Stockholm to participate
39
+ in the interview.
40
+ originally approved this trip for January 27 through 31st, but approval timelines
41
+ necessitated rescheduling to the following week.
42
+ EFTA00074185
43
+
44
+ High Threat Security Overseas Seminar ("HTSOS"") training is required for the requested
45
+ travel to Sweden. AUSAL
46
+ has completed HTSOS training, and AUSAs
47
+ and
48
+ will complete the HTSOS training.
49
+ AUSAs
50
+ therefore request permission to travel to Sweden.

+ Subject: Epstein FOIA Atty Visit Logs and Count Slips
19
+ Defense counsel in Tartaglione has requested to see the attorney visit logs and count slips that have Tartaglione's name on
20
+ them. Those documents may be covered by the attached protective order, and so we have asked
21
+ , who is
22
+ firewall counsel in Tartaglione, to receive the documents from you for potential production to defense counsel (so that
23
+ and I do not see them).
24
+ is going to review the protective order first and determine whether she needs
25
+ Judge Karas to modify the order to allow her to receive the documents, so please don't send them to
26
+ until she
27
+ reaches out. Thanks for helping with this - we know it is a pain.

239
+ Introduction
240
+ This case began as a defamation action, though it is hardly recognizable as
241
+ such anymore. The stakes are much higher now.
242
+ The government has indicted Ghislaine Maxwell. The media has all but
243
+ convicted her.
244
+ The government alleges, among other things, that Ms. Maxwell committed
245
+ perjury during her civil deposition. But Ms. Maxwell sat for the deposition and was
246
+ compelled to answer numerous personal, sensitive, and allegedly incriminatory
247
+ questions only after the plaintiff and the district court, through a stipulated
248
+ Protective Order, guaranteed the confidentiality of her answers. As this Court has
249
+ long recognized, and as this case shows, "witnesses might be expected frequently
250
+ to refuse to testify pursuant to protective orders if their testimony were to be made
251
+ available to the Government for criminal investigatory purposes in disregard of
252
+ those orders."1
253
+ Now that promise of confidentiality appears to have been dubious at best.
254
+ Indeed, it is at risk of being broken entirely.

+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page9 of 38
260
+ Without any apparent lawful basis, the government has obtained a copy of
261
+ Ms. Maxwell's confidential, sealed deposition. The indictment quotes directly
262
+ from it. And yesterday, the district court ordered its imminent unsealing.
263
+ The district court's unsealing order sanctions the perjury trap unfairly set for
264
+ Ms. Maxwell, in violation of the 5th Amendment privilege against self-
265
+ incrimination. It risks Ms. Maxwell's due process right to a fair trial by an impartial
266
+ jury. And it eviscerates the promise of confidentiality on which Ms. Maxwell and
267
+ numerous third parties reasonably relied. Absent a stay from this Court, it will
268
+ forever let the cat out of the bag.
269
+ To vindicate Ms. Maxwell's constitutional right to remain silent, to protect
270
+ her constitutional right to a fair trial by an impartial jury, and for all the other
271
+ reasons offered below, this Court should stay the unsealing order pending appeal.
272
+ Statement of the Case and the Facts
273
+ I. The defamation action and the Protective Order.
274
+ alleged that Ms. Maxwell defamed her. The alleged
275
+ defamation centered on a statement from Ms. Maxwell's attorney generally
276
+ denying as "untrue" and "obvious lies" plaintiff's numerous allegations, over the
277
+ span of four years, that Ms. Maxwell participated in a scheme causing her to be
278
+ "sexually abused and trafficked" by Jeffrey Epstein.

+
282
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page10 of 38
283
+ Plaintiff, a public figure required to prove actual malice, litigated her
284
+ defamation action by trying to transform it into a criminal or tort action for sexual
285
+ abuse and sexual trafficking of minors. Her lawyers intended to prove the
286
+ defamation claim solely by, in effect, "prosecuting" Ms. Maxwell as a proxy for
287
+ Epstein. Plaintiff chose this course of action because even she admitted some of her
288
+ public statements were false.
289
+ Discovery in the case was correspondingly intrusive, hard-fought, and wide-
290
+ ranging. It spanned more than a year and included voluminous document
291
+ productions and responses to interrogatories and thirty-some depositions,
292
+ including depositions of plaintiff and Ms. Maxwell as well as numerous third
293
+ parties, including Doe 1.
294
+ Plaintiff sought and obtained a wide variety of private and confidential
295
+ information about Ms. Maxwell, Doe 1, and others, including information about
296
+ financial and sexual matters. Given the amount of personal, confidential material
297
+ and information exchanged between the parties during discovery, the district court
298
+ entered a stipulated Protective Order protecting from public disclosure information
299
+ the parties in good faith concluded was confidential. ExHIBIT 1. The Protective
300
+ Order included a mechanism for one party to challenge another party's
301
+ confidentiality designation (such a challenge never occurred) and expressly
302
+ 3
303
+ EFTA00074912
304
+
305
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page11 of 38
306
+ provided that it was not applicable to any information or material disclosed at trial.
307
+ Id. at 4-5.
308
+ "The Protective Order, despite the angst it is now causing, is unremarkable
309
+ in form and function." EXHIBIT 2 at 3. Counsel for plaintiff originally proposed
310
+ protective order language that would have allowed for a "law enforcement"
311
+ exception. In particular, Paragraph I(a) 4 of the draft proposed that
312
+ "CONFIDENTIAL information shall not be disclosed or used for any purpose
313
+ except the preparation and trial of this case and any related matter, including but
314
+ not limited to, investigations by law enforcement. " See EXHIBIT 3 at 42.
315
+ This language was rejected by Ms. Maxwell because of her concerns that
316
+ plaintiff and her lawyers were acting as either express or de facto agents of the
317
+ government. The language agreed upon, and made an order of the district court,
318
+ specifically excluded an exception for law enforcement. Had the language not been
319
+ made an order of the district court, Ms. Maxwell would have proceeded in a
320
+ different fashion. She instead relied on this language and the protection afforded to
321
+ her by this Court under established Second Circuit law.
322
+ After the district court denied Ms. Maxwell's motion for summary
323
+ judgment, the parties agreed to a settlement of the defamation claim and the case
324
+ was dismissed. As the district court below recognized, a significant component of
325
+ 4

+ EFTA00074913
327
+
328
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page12 of 38
329
+ the settlement agreement was its confidentiality, a feature that echoes the purpose
330
+ of the Protective Order on which Ms. Maxwell and numerous third parties,
331
+ including Doe 1, justifiably relied.
332
+ II. The motion to unseal and the first appeal.
333
+ One year after the case was dismissed and closed, the Miami Herald sought
334
+ to reopen the case and to unseal every sealed filing on the district court docket. The
335
+ district court denied the motion to unseal.
336
+ The Miami Herald appealed, and this Court reversed. Brown v. Maxwell, 929
337
+ F.3d 41, 44-45 (2d Cir. 2019). The majority concluded that the district court erred
338
+ in sealing the summary judgment materials. Id. at 47-48. Upon the issuance of the
339
+ mandate, it unsealed the summary judgment materials to the public and the press,
340
+ and it remanded the case to the district court to conduct a particularized review of
341
+ the remaining records to which the Herald sought access. Id. at 53-54.
342
+ Judge Pooler dissented in part. Id. at 54. Although she agreed the district
343
+ court erred, she would only have unsealed the summary judgment order while
344
+ leaving "the remainder of the materials for the district court to review, redact, and
345
+ unseal on remand." Id. (Pooler, J., dissenting in part).

348
+
349
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page 13 of 38
350
+ Despite the division among the judges, the Court was unanimous in its
351
+ recognition of "the potential damage to privacy and reputation that may
352
+ accompany public disclosure of hard-fought, sensitive litigation." Id. at 44.
353
+ Finally, anticipating that the district court would not have the last word
354
+ about whether certain materials should remain under seal, this Court instructed
355
+ that "[i]n the interests of judicial economy, any future appeal in this matter shall be
356
+ referred to this panel. " Id. at 54.
357
+ III. The remand, the arrest, and the indictment.
358
+ On remand, the Miami Herald sought to unseal Ms. Maxwell's depositions
359
+ (taken in April and July 2016) and the deposition of Doe 1 (taken in June 2016). Ms.
360
+ Maxwell filed an objection, ExHIBIT 4, plaintiff and the Herald each filed a
361
+ response, ExHIBIts 5 & 6, and Ms. Maxwell filed a reply, ExHIBIT 7.
362
+ On July 2, one day after Ms. Maxwell filed her reply, the government staged
363
+ a dramatic, forced entry at dawn into her home and arrested her. ExHIBIT 3 at 13.
364
+ Immediately after Ms. Maxwell's arrest, Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey
365
+ Strauss held a press conference and made numerous comments attacking Ms.
366
+ Maxwell's credibility and expressing her opinion of Ms. Maxwell's guilt, e.g., that
367
+ she was guilty of "[ying]" in her deposition "because the truth, as alleged, was
368
+ almost unspeakable." Id.
369
+ 6
370
+ EFTA00074915
371
+
372
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page14 of 38
373
+ Plaintiff's counsel piled on, offering their own opinions about Ms. Maxwell's
374
+ guilt. For example, Bradley Edwards opined that Ms. Maxwell was "a main
375
+ facilitator" of Epstein's crimes who "started the whole thing." Id. And Sigrid
376
+ McCawley praised the prosecutors: "[They] have done an incredible job and
377
+ they're being very meticulous, they want to make sure that the Indictments
378
+ stick... They took a lot of time to be very careful and thoughtful and that gives me
379
+ a lot of hope that [Ms. Maxwell] will remain in prison for the remainder of her
380
+ life.. [Ms. Maxwell] was really the central figure ...." Id. at 16.
381
+ Ms. Maxwell's motion for an order barring such extrajudicial comments led
382
+ Judge Nathan (S.D.N.Y.), who is presiding over the criminal case, to admonish
383
+ "counsel for all involved parties [to] exercise great care to ensure compliance with
384
+ this Court's local rules, including Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and the rules of
385
+ professional responsibility." ExHIIT 3 at 19. Judge Nathan further "warn[ed]
386
+ counsel and agents for the parties and counsel for potential witnesses that going
387
+ forward [the court] will not hesitate to take appropriate action in the face of
388
+ violations of any relevant rules." Id. Judge Nathan said she would ensure " strict
389
+ compliance" with the rules and "ensure that the Defendant's right to a fair trial
390
+ will be safeguarded." Id.

394
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page15 of 38
395
+ On July 8, the government filed a superseding indictment alleging that Ms.
396
+ Maxwell "assisted, facilitated, and contributed" to Epstein's abuse of minors. The
397
+ indictment quickly turned to this civil action, alleging that in 2016 Ms. Maxwell
398
+ made "efforts to conceal her conduct" by "repeatedly provid[ing] false and
399
+ perjurious statements" in deposition testimony. ExHIIt 3 at 29 9 8.
400
+ Quoting verbatim from Ms. Maxwell's April 2016 deposition transcript, the
401
+ indictment alleges that Ms. Maxwell gave false testimony (a) when she testified "I
402
+ don't know what you're talking about"' in response to a question whether Epstein
403
+ "ha[d] a scheme to recruit underage girls for sexual massages ... [ilf you know";
404
+ and (b) when she testified, "I'm not aware of anybody that I interacted with [other
405
+ than plaintiff] who was 17 at this point." Id. at 35 9l 21.
406
+ None of these questions and answers was used in the summary judgment
407
+ materials released by this Court in Brown. The transcript containing this testimony
408
+ is sealed.
409
+ Only two parties — plaintiff and Ms. Maxwell —and their counsel had proper
410
+ access to the transcripts of Ms. Maxwell's depositions. The transcripts, which were
411
+ designated "confidential" under the Protective Order, could only be disclosed to
412
+ "attorneys actively working on this case" and "persons regularly employed or
413
+ associated with the attorneys who are working on this case." EXHIBIT 1 at 2. As

417
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page16 of 38
418
+ explained above, this language was negotiated by the parties specifically to exclude
419
+ an exception for investigations by law enforcement.
420
+ From Ms. Maxwell's indictment and arrest, four things are plain. One, as
421
+ the indictment and superseding indictment establish, the government has a copy of
422
+ the transcripts from Ms. Maxwell's April and July 2016 depositions, both of which
423
+ were designated "Confidential."
424
+ Two, the government had no apparent ability legally to obtain the deposition
425
+ transcripts. In Martindell v. International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., 594 F.2d
426
+ 291, 293 (2d Cir. 1979), cited with approval in In re Teligent, Inc., 640 F.3d 53, 58 (2d
427
+ Cir. 2011), the government moved in a civil action to which it was not a party for
428
+ access to transcripts of depositions of twelve witnesses, including some of the civil
429
+ defendants. The government said it was investigating possible violations of federal
430
+ criminal laws, including perjury, subornation of perjury, obstruction of justice, and
431
+ conspiracy. The government:
432
+ speculated that the pretrial deposition testimony might be relevant to
433
+ its investigation into matters similar to those that had been the subject
434
+ of the Martindell action and might be useful in appraising the
435
+ credibility, accuracy and completeness of testimony given by witnesses
436
+ in the Government's investigation or might provide additional
437
+ information of use to the Government. The Government, moreover,
438
+ feared that unless it could obtain the deposition transcripts, it would
439
+ be unable to secure statements from the witnesses because they would
440
+ claim their Fifth Amendment rights in any investigative interviews by
441
+ the Government.

446
+ 594 F.2d at 293. The district court denied the government's request, holding that
447
+ "the deposition testimony had been given in reliance upon the protective order,
448
+ thus rendering unnecessary invocation by the witnesses of their Fifth Amendment
449
+ rights, that the requested turnover would raise constitutional issues, and that
450
+ principles of fairness mandated enforcement of the protective order." Id.
451
+ On appeal, this Court affirmed:
452
+ In the present case the deponents testified in reliance upon the Rule
453
+ 26(c) protective order, absent which they may have refused to
454
+ testify... [T]he witnesses were entitled to rely upon the terms of a
455
+ concededly valid protective order and Judge Conner did not abuse his
456
+ discretion in refusing to vacate or modify that order.
457
+ Id. at 296-97.
458
+ Three, the government did not obtain a copy of the deposition transcripts
459
+ from Ms. Maxwell or her counsel.
460
+ Four, there has been a second violation of the district court's Protective
461
+ Order consistent with the plaintiff's prior violation of the Protective Order:?
462
+ ' On July 1, the district court found a violation of the Protective Order by
463
+ Plaintiff's attorneys after learning that her successor counsel, Cooper & Kirk, had
464
+ received from her former counsel, Boies Schiller Flexner, various discovery
465
+ materials that were subject to the Protective Order. EXHIBIT 2 at 4. The Court
466
+ rejected Cooper & Kirk's suggestion that it properly was a recipient of the material:
467
+ [W]hatever Cooper & Kirk's intentions in requesting and obtaining
468
+ the Maxwell materials from Boies Schiller, the Maxwell Protective

+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page 18 of 38
474
+ On July 23, over Ms. Maxwell's objection, the district court ordered the
475
+ complete unsealing of Ms. Maxwell's deposition transcripts and Doe 1's deposition
476
+ transcript as well as numerous sealed or redacted orders and papers that quote
477
+ from or disclose information from the transcripts (collective, the "deposition
478
+ material"). That Ms. Maxwell was under criminal investigation, the court ruled,
479
+ "is not entitled to much weight here." EXHIBIT 8 at 5.
480
+ On July 28, the district court entered an order directing the public release of
481
+ the deposition material on July 30.
482
+ Docket Text:
483
+ ORDER: The parties are directed to prepare for unsealing in accordance with the
484
+ Court's order of July 23, 2020, (ECF Minute Entry, dated July 23, 2020), the
485
+ documents listed in Exhibit A to Plaintiff
486
+ Opposition to
487
+ Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell's Objections to Onstaling Docket Entries 143, 164,
488
+ 172, 199, & 230, (dkt. no. 1068-1). Counsel shall file those documents on the public
489
+ docket, under a heading of "Documents Ordered Unsealed by Order of July 23,
490
+ 2020," no later than July 30, 2020. The Court incorporates its rulings specific to
491
+ each document-which are set forth in the transcript of the July 23 proceedings --
492
+ herein. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Loretta A. Preska on 7/28/2020) (va)
493
+ Order explicitly provides that (1) discovery materials designated
494
+ CONFIDENTIAL cannot be disclosed or used outside of the Maxwell
495
+ action and (2) that properly designated discovery materials may only
496
+ be disclosed to specific groups of individuals, including attorneys
497
+ "actively working on" the Maxwell litigation.
498
+ Id. at 4-5 (emphasis added). The district court ordered Cooper & Kirk to destroy
499
+ "[a]ll of those materials and any material, including work product, derived"
500
+ therefrom. Id. at 6. The court also ordered Cooper & Kirk to "cease use of the []

+ materials in its preparation of Plaintiff's action against Mr. Dershowitz." Id.

506
+ Ms. Maxwell filed a motion to reconsider on July 29, 2020. ExHIBIT 3.3 The
507
+ motion asked the district court, should it deny the motion to reconsider, for a two-
508
+ business-day stay of its order to permit Ms. Maxwell an opportunity to seek relief in
509
+ this Court.
510
+ The Court denied the motion to reconsider but stayed the unsealing until
511
+ August 3, 2013. ExHIBIT 9.
512
+ On July 29, 2020, Ms. Maxwell filed a notice of appeal from the district
513
+ court's unsealing order.* This motion asks the Court to stay the unsealing of the
514
+ deposition material pending resolution of that appeal.
515
+ Because the district court intends to unseal the deposition material on
516
+ August 3, 2020, absent a contrary ruling by this Court, Ms. Maxwell makes this
517
+ motion on an emergency basis. To prevent irreparable harm, Ms. Maxwell
518
+ 3 As part of the motion to reconsider, Ms. Maxwell also asked the district
519
+ court to commence contempt proceedings and issue an order to show cause why
520
+ the person(s) who violated the Order should not be held in contempt. See, e.g.,

530
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page20 of 38
531
+ respectfully requests an order on this motion by close of business on Friday, July
532
+ 31, 2020.
533
+ At the very least, this Court should enter a temporary administrative stay to
534
+ give itself sufficient time to consider the merits of Ms. Maxwell's motion to stay
535
+ pending appeal.
536
+ Argument
537
+ I. This Court should stay the district court's order pending appeal.
538
+ Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 8 governs a motion for a stay pending
539
+ appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 8(a)(2). Under that Rule, this Court will stay a district
540
+ court order pending appeal after evaluating four criteria: the likelihood of success
541
+ on the merits, irreparable injury if a stay is denied, substantial injury to the party
542
+ opposing a stay if one is issued, and the public interest. Mohammed v. Reno, 309
543
+ F.3d 95, 100 (2d Cir. 2002) (citing Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987)).
544
+ "The necessary 'level' or 'degree' of possibility of success will vary
545
+ according to the court's assessment of the other [stay] factors." Id. at 101 (quoting
546
+ Wash. Metro. Area Transit Comm'n v. Holiday Tours, Inc., 559 F.2d 841, 843 (D.C.
547
+ Cir. 1977)). As a result, "The probability of success that must be demonstrated is
548
+ inversely proportional to the amount of irreparable injury [appellant] will suffer
549
+ absent the stay. Simply stated, more of one excuses less of the other." Id. (quoting
550
+ 13
551
+ EFTA00074922
552
+
553
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page21 of 38
554
+ Mich. Coalition of Radioactive Material Users, Inc. v. Griepentrog, 945 F.2d 150, 153
555
+ (6th Cir. 1991)).
556
+ Here, irreparable injury will occur if the district court's unsealing order is
557
+ not stayed. Simply put, unless this Court grants a stay, any appeal of the order to
558
+ unseal will be moot. See Providence Journal Co. v. FBI, 595 F.2d 889, 890 (1st Cir.
559
+ 1979) (irreparable injury when denial of a stay will moot appeal).
560
+ As with the disclosure of privileged communications, once the deposition
561
+ material is released, there is no way to "re-seal" the material or repair the damage
562
+ done. See In re Sims v. Blot, 534 F.3d 117, 132 (2d Cir. 2008) ("'[A] remedy after
563
+ final judgment cannot unsay the confidential information that has been revealed.'"
564
+ (quoting In re von Bulow, 828 F.2d 94, 99 (2d Cir. 1987)). At that point,
565
+ particularly in the Internet age, the horse is irrevocably out of the barn. See United
566
+ States v. Bolton,
567
+ _F. Supp. 3d_
568
+ _, 2020 WL 3401940, at * 4 (D.D.C. No. 1:20-
569
+ CV-1580 (RCL), June 20, 2020) (declining to enjoin publication of a book by
570
+ former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton because copies were already
571
+ released, the "horse is out of the barn," and "in the Internet age, even a handful of
572
+ copies in circulation could irrevocably destroy confidentiality").
573
+ Because irreparable damage will result from the improper and premature
574
+ unsealing of the deposition material, Ms. Maxwell need only show "a substantial

+ Pierce, 761 F.2d 913, 920 (2d Cir. 1985), vacated on other grounds, 487 U.S. 1229
581
+ (1988). A "substantial possibility" of success is "something less than 50 percent."
582
+ Mohammed, 309 F.3d at 102.
583
+ If the likelihood were more than 50 percent, the appellant would be
584
+ required to persuade the stay panel that he was more likely than not to
585
+ win the appeal before the merits panel, just to obtain the critical
586
+ opportunity to maintain the status quo until the merits panel considers
587
+ the appeal.
588
+ Id.
589
+ As elaborated below, Ms. Maxwell has more than a substantial probability of
590
+ success. And in contrast to the irreparable injury Ms. Maxwell will suffer absent a
591
+ stay, plaintiff and the Miami Herald will suffer no meaningful harm if this Court
592
+ grants Ms. Maxwell's motion. Finally, the public interest favors a stay. This Court
593
+ should issue a stay pending appeal of the district court's order unsealing the
594
+ deposition material. See In re Long Island Lighting Co., 129 F.3d 268, 270 (2d Cir.
595
+ 1997) (stay of order compelling discovery of evidence).
596
+ A. Ms. Maxwell will suffer irreparable harm absent a stay because the
597
+ denial of a stay will moot her appeal.
598
+ Ms. Maxwell will suffer irreparable harm absent a stay because her "right of
599
+ appeal here will become moot unless the stay is continued pending determination
600
+ of the appeal[]. Once the documents are [disclosed] pursuant to the lower court's
601
+ 15
602
+ EFTA00074924

+
604
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page23 of 38
605
+ order, confidentiality will be lost for all time. The status quo could never be
606
+ restored." Providence Journal Co., 595 F.2d at 890. As this Court has recognized,
607
+ stays pending appeal of orders to unseal are appropriate so that "[t]he genie is [not]
608
+ out of the bottle." Gambale v. Deutsche Bank AG, 377 F.3d 133, 138, 144 & n.11 (2d
609
+ Cir. 2004).
610
+ In Providence Journal Co. v. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the First Circuit
611
+ stayed pending appeal a district court order requiring disclosure to the Providence
612
+ Journal of various documents reflecting the results of an unauthorized and illegal
613
+ wiretap. Id. at 889. The First Circuit explained that litigants are entitled to
614
+ meaningful appellate review, which demands the opportunity for the appellate
615
+ court to "take a fresh look at the decision of the trial court before it becomes
616
+ irrevocable." Id. at 890. A stay pending appeal was appropriate because the
617
+ "[flailure to grant a stay [would have] entirely destroy[ed] appellants' rights to
618
+ secure meaningful review." Id.
619
+ The same logic applies here. Unless this Court stays the district court's
620
+ order unsealing the deposition material, Ms. Maxwell will lose her right to obtain
621
+ review of the district court's order. See S.F. Residence Club, Inc. v. 7027 Old
622
+ Madison Pike, LLC, 583 F.3d 750, 756 (11th Cir. 2009) (dismissing appeal as moot
623
+ because appellant failed to seek a stay precluding payment of funds to a third-party

+ 16

+ EFTA00074925

627
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page24 of 38
628
+ creditor). Disclosure of the deposition will moot Ms. Maxwell's challenge to its
629
+ unsealing.
630
+ This Court has already anticipated Ms. Maxwell's right to appeal an
631
+ unsealing order. As noted above, in Brown this Court instructed that in the
632
+ "interests of judicial economy, any future appeal in this matter shall be referred to
633
+ this panel." Brown, 929 F.3d at 54. This Court would not have directed future
634
+ appeals to be assigned to the same panel only to allow such an appeal to be mooted
635
+ before the panel could even consider its merits.
636
+ B. Ms. Maxwell has more than a substantial possibility of success on
637
+ the merits.
638
+ Ms. Maxwell has more than a substantial possibility of succeeding on her
639
+ claim that the deposition material should not be unsealed.
640
+ A presumptive right of access attaches to a document only if the document is
641
+ a judicial record. Brown, 929 F.3d at 49. In turn, a document is a judicial record only
642
+ if it is relevant to the performance of a judicial function. Id.
643
+ Once an item is deemed relevant to the exercise of judicial power, "the
644
+ weight to be given the presumption of access must be governed by the role of the
645
+ material at issue in the exercise of Article III judicial power and the resultant value
646
+ of such information to those monitoring the federal courts." Id. "[W]hile evidence
647
+ introduced at trial or in connection with summary judgment enjoys a strong
648
+ 17
649
+ EFTA00074926
650
+
651
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page25 of 38
652
+ presumption of public access, documents that 'play only a negligible role in the
653
+ performance of Article III duties' are accorded only a low presumption that
654
+ 'amounts to little more than a prediction of public access absent a countervailing
655
+ reason. '" Id. at 49-50 (quoting United States v. Amodeo, 71 F.3d 1044, 1050 (2d Cir.
656
+ 1995)).
657
+ Here, the deposition material was not part of the summary judgment record.
658
+ Thus, the presumption of access attached to it is " somewhat lower than the
659
+ presumption applied to material introduced at trial, or in connection with
660
+ dispositive motions such as motions for dismissal or summary judgment." See id. at
661
+ 50. In turn, several countervailing interests rebut the lower presumption of access
662
+ attaching to the deposition material.
663
+ First, the deposition material should remain sealed to protect Ms. Maxwell's
664
+ right to a fair trial. U.S. CONST. amend. V, VI. The decision in Nixon v. Warner
665
+ Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589 (1978) shows why.
666
+ In that case, members of the media moved the district court to release audio
667
+ tapes admitted into evidence in the trial of four of President Nixon's former
668
+ advisors. The media intended to copy the tapes for broadcasting and sale to the
669
+ public. District Judge Sirica denied the motion, principally on the ground that the
670
+ rights of the four defendants, who had been convicted and had filed notices of
671
+ 18
672
+ EFTA00074927
673
+
674
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page26 of 38
675
+ appeal, would be prejudiced if they prevailed in their appeals. 435 U.S. at 595, 602
676
+ n.14. Judge Sirica noted that the transcripts of the audio tapes had been released to
677
+ the public. Id. at 595. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held Judge Sirica abused
678
+ his discretion.
679
+ The Supreme Court reversed the court of appeals and rejected the media's
680
+ arguments that release of the tapes was required under the common law right of
681
+ access and the First Amendment. The Court noted with approval "Judge Sirica's
682
+ view" that "the public's 'right to know' did not ... overcome the need to
683
+ safeguard the defendants' rights on appeal." Id. at 595; see id. at 602 n.14 (noting
684
+ that "Judge Sirica's principal reason for refusing to release the tapes [was] fairness
685
+ to the defendants, who were appealing their convictions"). The Court indicated
686
+ that the public interests in access to the tapes properly were balanced against "the
687
+ duty of the courts," id. at 602, including the duty to ensure fairness to the
688
+ defendants, see id. at 602 n.14.
689
+ In Nixon, the Court was properly concerned about the effect of unsealing
690
+ materials notwithstanding that they were core judicial documents (audio tapes
691
+ admitted into evidence at the merits trial). And the court continued to hold these
692
+ concerns even after the defendants had been convicted and had launched appeals.
693
+ The court recognized that the right to a fair trial is a compelling interest in
694
+ 19
695
+ EFTA00074928
696
+
697
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page27 of 38
698
+ "weighing the interests advanced by the parties in light of the public interests and
699
+ the duty of the courts," Nixon, 435 U.S. at 602.
700
+ Here, the unsealing of the deposition material would result in substantial
701
+ negative media publicity and speculation in an Internet world in the same way that
702
+ Judge Sirica found release of the audio tapes in Nixon would generate publicity and
703
+ affect those defendants' right to a fair trial. See also In re New York Times Co.., 828
704
+ F.2d 110, 116 (2d Cir. 1987) (recognizing "defendants' fair trial rights" as an
705
+ "appropriate" basis for sealing material). The public's right of access to the
706
+ deposition material is substantially outweighed by the compelling interest in
707
+ ensuring Ms. Maxwell's right to a fair trial.
708
+ Second, the deposition material should remain sealed to vindicate this
709
+ Court's prohibition on the government breaching a protective order to gain access
710
+ to deposition transcripts in a civil lawsuit. Martindell, 594 F.2d at 294. In
711
+ Martindell, decided forty years ago, this Court held that the government "may not.
712
+ .. simply by picking up the telephone or writing a letter to the court... insinuate
713
+ itself into a private civil lawsuit between others." Id. The Court rejected the
714
+ government's argument that the district court's "solicitude for the witnesses'
715
+ Fifth Amendment" over the government's desire for the deposition transcripts
716
+ was an abuse of discretion. Id. at 295. It held that "a more significant
717
+ 20
718
+ EFTA00074929
719
+
720
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page28 of 38
721
+ counterbalancing factor" is the civil rules' goal of encouraging witnesses to
722
+ participate in civil litigation:
723
+ Unless a valid Rule 26(c) protective order is to be fully and fairly
724
+ enforceable, witnesses relying upon such orders will be inhibited from
725
+ giving essential testimony in civil litigation, thus undermining a
726
+ procedural system that has been successfully developed over the years
727
+ for disposition of civil differences. In short, witnesses might be
728
+ expected frequently to refuse to testify pursuant to protective orders if
729
+ their testimony were to be made available to the Government for
730
+ criminal investigatory purposes in disregard of those orders.
731
+ Id. at 296. After balancing the interests at stake, the Court held that absent
732
+ improvidence in issuing the protective order or some extraordinary circumstance
733
+ or compelling need, witnesses must be permitted to rely on the protective order's
734
+ enforceability. Id. The protective order should not be vacated or modified "to
735
+ accommodate the Government's desire to inspect protected testimony for possible
736
+ use in a criminal investigation, either as evidence or as the subject of a possible perjury
737
+ charge." Id. (emphasis added).
738
+ Unsealing the deposition material in this case would sanction a blatant
739
+ Martindell violation. Throughout much of the first year of this litigation plaintiff
740
+ through her counsel represented to the district court and defense counsel that
741
+ plaintiff was privy to and participating in an ongoing criminal investigation in which
742
+ Ms. Maxwell was a "person of interest." EXHIBIT 3 at 7. Toward that end plaintiff
743
+ withheld documents responsive to defense discovery requests for any documents
744
+ 21
745
+ EFTA00074930
746
+
747
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page29 of 38
748
+ relating to such a criminal investigation; plaintiff asserted such documents were
749
+ subject to a law enforcement, "investigative" or public interest "privilege." Id. In
750
+ response to Ms. Maxwell's motion to compel the production of documents,
751
+ plaintiff submitted the "law enforcement materials" ex parte and in camera to the
752
+ district court. Id. Ms. Maxwell objected to the submission of the materials ex parte
753
+ and in camera. Id. The district court denied the motion to compel. Id. The
754
+ materials never have been produced to the defense.
755
+ Based on plaintiff's claim of an ongoing investigation, Ms. Maxwell
756
+ requested, prior to her deposition, that plaintiff disclose any alleged "on-going
757
+ criminal investigation by law enforcement" or alternatively to stay this action
758
+ pending completion of any such investigation. Id. at 7-8. In part, Ms. Maxwell
759
+ needed information concerning any such investigation to assess "the impact on any
760
+ 5th Amendment privilege." Id. at 8. Judge Sweet denied that motion. The day
761
+ before Ms. Maxwell's deposition, the Court ordered that "[a]ny materials that the
762
+ plaintiff has with respect to any criminal investigations will be turned over [by
763
+ plaintiff] except for any statements made by plaintiff to law enforcement
764
+ authority." Id. Plaintiff produced no such materials and Ms. Maxwell was deposed
765
+ the next day. Id. In reliance on the protective order which included no exception for
766
+ any law enforcement need or subpoena and based on plaintiff's failure to disclose
767
+ 22
768
+ EFTA000749317
769
+
770
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page30 of 38
771
+ any "on-going criminal investigation" she did not assert the 5th Amendment
772
+ during that deposition. Id.
773
+ This history, culminating in plaintiff's gratuitously attaching the entire
774
+ transcripts of both Ms. Maxwell's depositions to court submissions, and the
775
+ government's unexplained possession of the sealed materials, after which they then
776
+ charged Ms. Maxwell with perjury counts, suggest plaintiff in conjunction with the
777
+ government sought to circumvent Martindell: they set a perjury trap for Ms.
778
+ Maxwell when plaintiff took her deposition. Unsealing the deposition material
779
+ would sanction the Martindell violation at the expense of Ms. Maxwell's 5th
780
+ Amendment rights.
781
+ Third, the deposition material should remain sealed to vindicate Ms.
782
+ Maxwell and other individuals' reasonable reliance on the judicial promise of
783
+ confidentiality. See S.E.C. v. TheStreet. Com, 273 F.3d 222, 229-31 (2d Cir. 2001)
784
+ (recognizing the importance of reliance interests in assessing whether to allow
785
+ access to sealed documents (citing Martindell, 594 F.2d at 296 (2d Cir. 1979)). Ms.
786
+ Maxwell and numerous third parties, including Doe 1, reasonably relied on the
787
+ Protective Order. Many of the approximately thirty depositions in this case were
788
+ made possible only because of the Protective Order. The district court had to issue
789
+ numerous orders compelling deposition testimony of third parties, which
790
+ 23
791
+ EFTA00074932
792
+
793
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page31 of 38
794
+ depositions took place only after everyone agreed on the record that the testimony
795
+ would be confidential and sealed pursuant to the Protective Order.
796
+ Indeed, plaintiff's counsel stipulated to the Protective Order in part to
797
+ facilitate taking Ms. Maxwell's deposition, saying, "I just want [Ms. Maxwell's]
798
+ deposition... It is that important to me." EXHIBIT 3 at 9. When that deposition
799
+ finally occurred, on the advice of counsel, Ms. Maxwell declined to answer
800
+ numerous questions regarding her consensual adult sexual activity, invoking her
801
+ constitutional right to privacy. In response, plaintiff filed a motion to compel,
802
+ telling the court "we have a protective order in place, and that assures Ms.
803
+ Maxwell's right to privacy in answering those kinds of questions." Ms. Maxwell's
804
+ Answer Brief, Doc. 95, Brown v. Maxwell, Case No. 18-2868 (2d Cir. Jan. 10, 2019),
805
+ at 25. The district court accepted plaintiff's argument and compelled Ms. Maxwell
806
+ to answer, saying, "the privacy concerns are alleviated by the protection order in
807
+ this case drafted by the defendant." Id.
808
+ Finally, as explained more fully in Ms. Maxwell's objection to the unsealing
809
+ of the deposition material and the reply in support of the objection, ExHIBITs 4 & 7,
810
+ the deposition material should remain sealed to prevent the abuse of court records
811
+ and files and to avoid annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, and undue burden.
812
+ To be sure, this Court has already implied as much. When, in Brown, this Court
813
+ 24
814
+ EFTA00074933
815
+
816
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page32 of 38
817
+ unsealed the summary judgment material, it redacted "deposition responses
818
+ concerning intimate matters where the questions were likely only permitted —and
819
+ the responses only compelled —because of a strong expectation of continued
820
+ confidentiality." 929 F.3d at 48 n.22. The district court should not unseal material
821
+ this Court already declined to unseal, particularly because the material this Court
822
+ declined to unseal enjoyed a stronger presumption of access (because it was part of
823
+ the summary judgment record) than the material the district court has elected to
824
+ unseal wholesale (because it was not part of the summary judgment record).
825
+ C. A stay will cause no meaningful harm to plaintiff or the Miami
826
+ Herald.
827
+ A stay will cause no meaningful harm to plaintiff or the Miami Herald.
828
+ First, Ms. Maxwell's and Doe 1's depositions have been confidential since
829
+ they were taken, more than four years ago in April, June, and July 2016. Moreover,
830
+ neither plaintiff nor the Miami Herald sought to unseal any records in the district
831
+ court for nearly a year after the underlying case was settled, dismissed, and closed
832
+ in May 2017. In that context, keeping the deposition material sealed a little longer,
833
+ until this appeal is decided, will not tangibly harm either plaintiff or Ms. Maxwell.
834
+ See Mohammed, 309 F.3d at 102 n.11 (rejecting the Government contention of harm
835
+ from delaying the removal of an alien petitioner because the contention
836
+ EFTA00074934
837
+
838
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page33 of 38
839
+ "substantially weakened" by the "gap of more than ten weeks between the District
840
+ Court's continuation of the stay and the Government's motion to lift the stay").
841
+ Second, expedited consideration of the appeal, on a timeline convenient to
842
+ this Court, will mitigate any minimal harm that might result from a brief stay that
843
+ merely preserves the status quo. This Court anticipated exactly this scenario in the
844
+ Brown decision, directing that any future appeals be assigned to the same panel in
845
+ "the interests of judicial economy." Brown, 929 F.3d at 54.
846
+ Third, plaintiff stipulated to the confidentiality of the deposition material and
847
+ induced Ms. Maxwell to rely on it (setting a perjury trap along the way). Plaintiff
848
+ cannot claim to be harmed when all Ms. Maxwell wants is a meaningful
849
+ opportunity to show she reasonably relied on the plaintiff and the district court's
850
+ promise of confidentiality.
851
+ For his part, Doe 1 also relied on the same promise of confidentiality in
852
+ submitting to his deposition. All Ms. Maxwell is asking is that this Court have a fair
853
+ opportunity to review the merits of the district court's decision before the
854
+ deposition material is unsealed for all time.
855
+ D. The public interest favors a stay.
856
+ Finally, the public interest favors a stay.

859
+
860
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page34 of 38
861
+ First, a stay protects this Court's role in the judicial process. Appellate
862
+ courts have long exercised their right to "hold an order in abeyance while [they]
863
+ assess[] the legality of the order." Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 426 (2009). A stay
864
+ pending appeal is simply a "means of ensuring that appellate courts can responsibly
865
+ fulfill their role in the judicial process." Id. at 427; see also Scripps-Howard Radio v.
866
+ F.C.C., 316 U.S. 4, 9-10 (1942) ("[I]t is reasonable that an appellate court should
867
+ be able to prevent irreparable injury to the parties ... resulting from the premature
868
+ enforcement of a determination which may later be found to have been wrong.").
869
+ By contrast, were this Court to deny a stay, Ms. Maxwell's appeal will
870
+ become moot upon unsealing of the deposition material, at which point this Court
871
+ will lose jurisdiction over the appeal. See S.F. Residence Club, 583 F.3d at 756
872
+ (dismissing appeal as moot because appellant failed to seek a stay precluding
873
+ payment of funds to a third-party creditor). A stay serves the public interest by
874
+ protecting this Court's jurisdiction. See Nken, 556 U.S. at 426 (citing the All Writs
875
+ Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), as a "grant of authority to federal courts to 'issue all writs
876
+ necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the
877
+ usages and principles of law. '").
878
+ Second, a stay serves the public interest by helping to secure Ms. Maxwell a
879
+ fair trial before an impartial jury. U.S. CONST. amends. V, VI. At her deposition,
880
+ 27
881
+ EFTA00074936
882
+
883
+ Case 20-2413, Document 10-1, 07/30/2020, 2896538, Page35 of 38
884
+ Ms. Maxwell was compelled to answer numerous questions about her private,
885
+ consensual, and intimate conduct with other adults. Evidence of that conduct will
886
+ not be admissible in Ms. Maxwell's criminal trial, because it is irrelevant and highly
887
+ prejudicial. See FED. R. EVID. 401, 402, 403, 404(b); United States v. McVeigh, 119
888
+ F.3d 806, 813 (10th Cir. 1997) (upholding district court's sealing of discovery
889
+ materials deemed inadmissible at trial, holding that " disclosure of such [materials]
890
+ would play a negative role in the functioning of the criminal process, by exposing
891
+ the public generally, as well as potential jurors, to incriminating evidence that the
892
+ law has determined may not be used to support a conviction"'). If her deposition is
893
+ disclosed and her answers revealed —answers she offered only upon the promise of
894
+ confidentiality — potential jurors will be irreparably biased against Ms. Maxwell,
895
+ making it difficult if not impossible to seat a fair and impartial jury. See Patterson v.
896
+ Colorado ex rel. Attorney General of Colo., 205 U.S. 454, 462 (1907) (opinion for the
897
+ Court by Holmes, J.) ("The theory of our [trial] system is that the conclusions to
898
+ be reached in a case will be induced only by evidence and argument in open court,
899
+ and not by any outside influence, whether of private talk or public print.").
900
+ Third, the public has a paramount interest in being able to rely on judicial

907
+ (citing Martindell, 594 F.2d at 296 (2d Cir. 1979). Unless this Court grants a stay,

910
+ Conclusion
911
+ At the conclusion of its decision in Brown, this Court offered a "cautionary
912
+ note" to the public and the press:
913
+ [C]ourt filings are, in some respects, particularly susceptible to fraud.
914
+ For while the threat of defamation actions may deter malicious
915
+ falsehoods in standard publications, this threat is non-existent with
916
+ respect to certain court filings. This is so because, under New York
917
+ law (which governs the underlying defamation claim here), absolute
918
+ immunity from liability for defamation exists for oral or written
919
+ statements made ... in connection with a proceeding before a court.
920
+ Thus, although the act of filing a document with a court might be
921
+ thought to lend that document additional credibility, in fact,
922
+ allegations appearing in such documents might be less credible than
923
+ those published elsewhere.
924
+ [T]he media does the public a profound disservice when it
925
+ reports on parties' allegations uncritically. We have previously
926
+ observed that courts cannot possibly discredit every statement or
927
+ document turned up in the course of litigation, and we have criticized
928
+ the use by the media of the somewhat misleading term court records in
929
+ referring to such items. Even ordinarily critical readers may take the
930
+ reference to court papers as some sort of marker of reliability. This
931
+ would be a mistake.

936
+ Brown, 929 F.3d at 52-53 (footnotes and quotations omitted). This note of caution
937
+ is even more apt today, now that the government has indicted Ms. Maxwell and the
938
+ media circus is descending.
939
+ Unless this Court stays the unsealing of the deposition material, there will be
940
+ nothing to protect against uncritical reporting of the deposition material's contents,
941
+ reporting that will only undermine the ability to secure a fair trial for Ms. Maxwell.
942
+ This Court should stay pending appeal the district court's order unsealing
943

7
+ March 20, 2011
8
+ To whom it may concern:
9
+ I served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida from 2005 through 2009. Over the
10
+ past weeks, I have read much regarding Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. Some appears true, some appears
11
+ distorted. I thought it appropriate to provide some background, with two caveats: (i) under
12
+ Justice Department guidelines, I cannot discuss privileged internal communications among
13
+ Department attorneys and (il) I no longer have access to the original documents, and as the
14
+ matter is now nearly 4 years old, the precision of memory is reduced.
15
+ The Epstein matter was originally presented to the Palm Beach County State Attorney. Palm
16
+ Beach Police alleged that Epstein unlawfully hired underage high-school females to provide him
17
+ sexually lewd and erotic massages. Police sought felony charges that would have resulted in a
18
+ term of imprisonment. According to press reports, however, in 2006 the State Attorney, in part
19
+ due to concerns regarding the quality of the evidence, agreed to charge Epstein only with one
20
+ count of aggravated assault with no intent to commit a felony. That charge would have resulted
21
+ in no jail time, no requirement to register as a sexual offender and no restitution for the underage
22
+ victims.
23
+ Local police were dissatisfied with the State Attorney's conclusions, and requested a federal
24
+ investigation. Federal authorities received the State's evidence and engaged in additional
25
+ investigation. Prosecutors weighed the quality of the evidence and the likelihood for success at
26
+ trial. With a federal case, there were two additional considerations. First, a federal criminal
27
+ prosecution requires that the crime be more than local; it must have an interstate nexus. Second,
28
+ as the matter was initially charged by the state, the federal responsibility is, to some extent, to
29
+ back-stop state authorities to ensure that there is no miscarriage of justice, and not to also
30
+ prosecute federally that which has already been charged at the state level.
31
+ After considering the quality of the evidence and the additional considerations, prosecutors
32
+ concluded that the state charge was insufficient. In early summer 2007, the prosecutors and
33
+ agents in this case met with Mr. Epstein's attorney, Roy Black. Mr. Black is perhaps best known
34
+ for his successful defense of William Kennedy Smith. The prosecutors presented Epstein a
35
+ choice: plead to more serious state felony charges (that would result in 2 years' imprisonment,
36
+ registration as a sexual offender, and restitution for the victims) or else prepare for a federal
37
+ felony trial.
38
+ What followed was a year-long assault on the prosecution and the prosecutors. I use the word
39
+ assault intentionally, as the defense in this case was more aggressive than any which I, or the
40
+ prosecutors in my office, had previously encountered. Mr. Epstein hired an army of legal
41
+ superstars: Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz, former Judge and then Pepperdine Law Dean
42
+ Kenneth Starr, former Deputy Assistant to the President and then Kirkland & Ellis Partner Jay
43
+ Lefkowitz, and several others, including prosecutors who had formally worked in the U.S.

49
+ Attorney's Office and in the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Justice Department.
50
+ Defense attorneys next requested a meeting with me to challenge the prosecution and the terms
51
+ previously presented by the prosecutors in their meeting with Mr. Black. The prosecution team
52
+ and I met with defense counsel in Fall 2007, and I reaffirmed the office's position: two years,
53
+ registration and restitution, or trial.
54
+ Over the next several months, the defense team presented argument after argument claiming that
55
+ felony criminal proceedings against Epstein were unsupported by the evidence and lacked a basis
56
+ in law, and that the office's insistence on jail-time was motivated by a zeal to overcharge a man
57
+ merely because he is wealthy. They bolstered their arguments with legal opinions from well-
58
+ known legal experts. One member of the defense team warned me that the office's excess zeal in
59
+ forcing a good man to serve time in jail might be the subject of a book if we continued to
60
+ proceed with this matter. My office systematically considered and rejected each argument, and
61
+ when we did, my office's decisions were appealed to Washington. As to the warning, I ignored
62
+ it.
63
+ The defense strategy was not limited to legal issues. Defense counsel investigated individual
64
+ prosecutors and their families, looking for personal peccadilloes that may provide a basis for
65
+ disqualification. Disqualifying a prosecutor is an effective (though rarely used) strategy, as
66
+ eliminating the individuals most familiar with the facts and thus most qualified to take a case to
67
+ trial harms likelihood for success. Defense counsel tried to disqualify at least two prosecutors. I
68
+ carefully reviewed, and then rejected, these arguments.
69
+ Despite this army of attorneys, the office held firm to the terms first presented to Mr. Black in
70
+ the original meeting. On June 30, 2008, after yet another last minute appeal to Washington D.C.
71
+ was rejected, Epstein pled guilty in state court. He was to serve 18 months imprisonment,
72
+ register as a sexual offender for life and provide restitution to the victims.
73
+ Some may feel that the prosecution should have been tougher. Evidence that has come to light
74
+ since 2007 may encourage that view. Many victims have since spoken out, filing detailed
75
+ statements in civil cases seeking damages. Physical evidence has since been discovered. Had
76
+ these additional statements and evidence been known, the outcome may have been different. But
77
+ they were not known to us at the time.
78
+ A prosecution decision must be based on admissible facts known at the time. In cases of this
79
+ type, those are unusually difficult because victims are frightened and often decline to testify or if
80
+ they do speak, they give contradictory statements. Our judgment in this case, based on the
81
+ evidence known at the time, was that it was better to have a billionaire serve time in jail, register
82
+ as a sex offender and pay his victims restitution than risk a trial with a reduced likelihood of
83
+ success. I supported that judgment then, and based on the state of the law as it then stood and the
84
+ evidence known at that time, I would support that judgment again.
85
+ Epstein's treatment, while in state custody, likewise may encourage the view that the office
86
+ should have been tougher. Epstein appears to have received highly unusual treatment while in
87
+ jail. Although the terms of confinement in a state prison are a matter appropriately left to the
88
+ 08-80736-CV-MARRA

91
+
92
+ Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 361-68 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/10/2016 Page 4 of 4
93
+ State of Florida, and not federal authorities, without doubt, the treatment that he received while
94
+ in state custody undermined the purpose of a jail sentence.
95
+ Some may also believe that the prosecution should have been tougher in retaliation for the
96
+ defense's tactics. The defense, arguably, often failed to negotiate in good faith. They would
97
+ obtain concessions as part of a negotiation and agree to proceed, only to change their minds, and
98
+ appeal the office's position to Washington. The investigations into the family lives of individual
99
+ prosecutors were, in my opinion, uncalled for, as were the accusations of bias and / or
100
+ misconduct against individual prosecutors. At times, some prosecutors felt that we should just
101
+ go to trial, and at times I felt that frustration myself. What was right in the first meeting,
102
+ however, remained right irrespective of defense tactics. Individuals have a constitutional right to
103
+ a defense. The aggressive exercise of that right should not be punished, nor should a defense
104
+ counsel's exercise of their right to appeal a U.S. Attorney to Washington, D.C. Prosecutors must
105
+ be careful not to allow frustration and anger with defense counsel to influence their judgment.
106
+ After the plea, 1 recall receiving several phone calls. One was from the FBI Special Agent-In-
107
+ Charge. He called to offer congratulations. He had been at many of the meetings regarding this
108
+ case. He was aware of the tactics of the defense, and he called to praise our prosecutors for
109
+ holding firm against the likes of Messrs. Black, Dershowitz, Lefkowitz and Starr. It was a proud
110
+ moment. I also received calls or communications from Messrs. Dershowitz, Lefkowitz and
111
+ Starr. I had known all three individuals previously, from my time in law school and at Kirkland
112
+ & Ellis in the mid 90s. They all sought to make peace. I agreed to talk and meet with each of
113
+ them after Epstein pled guilty, as I think it important that prosecutors battle defense attorneys in
114
+ a case and then move on. I have tried, yet I confess that has been difficult to do fully in this case.
115
+ The bottom line is this: Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire, served time in jail and is now a
116
+ registered sex offender. He has been required to pay his victims restitution, though restitution
117
+ clearly cannot compensate for the crime. And we know much more today about his crimes
118
+ because the victims have come forward to speak out. Some may disagree with the prosecutorial
119
+ judgments made in this case, but those individuals are not the ones who at the time reviewed the
120
+ evidence available for trial and assessed the likelihood of success.

45

71
+ All,
72
+ BOP has provided a production version of what I hope is the last set of documents to be released in Times v. BOP, 20-cv-
73
+ 833. I have saved the combined production file, named "2nd August 2020 Production, Times v BOP, 20-cv-833," here:
74
+ from BOP\2nd August Production
75
+ Could the teams please review and confirm that this file can be released to the Times? Given the timing, it would be best
76
+ to release these by the end of the week. Please let me know if you don't think review by Friday will be possible.
77

101
+ Hi all,
102
+ As you know, we agreed with the Times that BOP would produce some documents after the SJ papers were filed in Times
103
+ v. BOP. It looks like it is going to take BOP through the end of next week to get the emails together. In the meantime, we
104
+ are going to produce what should be the remaining non-email documents (with redactions) and a portion of the
105
+ remaining emails.
106
+ EFTA00072705
107
+
108
+ The production version of these documents is attached here. Can you please review and confirm that it is okay for the
109
+ attached to be sent to the Times? It should all be documents you've seen before-and I think I circulated most of the
110
+ attached production version to you earlier this week. But there are now some new pages at the end—also not sure | got
111
+ sign off from everyone on the production versions of the earlier stuff. We'd like to send this out by Tuesday, August 11, at
112
+ latest if possible.
113
+ Also, I'm copying DI
114
+ to speed.
115
+ here. I will be out 08/12-08/18, and as graciously agreed to cover this case while I am out.
116
+ (If all goes according to plan, not much will be happening then anyway). Please copy her going forward so she can get up
117
+ Thanks and have a great weekend,

186
+ By signing this agreement, Epstein asserts and certifies that each of these terms is
187
+ material to this agreement and is supported by independent consideration and that a breach
188
+ of any one of these conditions allows the United States to elect to terminate the agreement
189
+ and to investigate and prosecute Epstein and any other individual or entity for any and all
190
+ federal offenses.
191
+ By signing this agreement, Epstein asserts and certifies that he is aware of the fact that
192
+ the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that in all criminal
193
+ prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. Epstein further
194
+ is aware that Rule 48(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provides that the Court
195
+ may dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint for unnecessary delay in presenting
196
+ a charge to the Grand Jury, filing an information, or in bringing a defendant to trial. Epstein
197
+ hereby requests that the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida defer such
198
+ prosecution. Epstein agrees and consents that any delay from the date of this Agreement to
199
+ the date of initiation of prosecution, as provided for in the terms expressed herein, shall be
200
+ deemed to be a necessary delay at his own request, and he hereby waives any defense to such
201
+ prosecution on the ground that such delay operated to deny him rights under Rule 48(b) of
202
+ the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the
203
+ United States to a speedy trial or to bar the prosecution by reason of the running of the statute
204
+ of limitations for a period of months equal to the period between the signing of this
205
+ agreement and the breach of this agreement as to those offenses that were the subject of the
206
+ grand jury's investigation. Epstein futher asserts and certifies that he understands that the
207
+ Fifth Amendment and Rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure provide that all
208
+ felonies must be charged in an indictment presented to a grand jury. Epstein hereby agrees
209
+ and consents that, if a prosecution against him is instituted for any offense that was the
210
+ subject of the grand jury's investigation, it may be by way of an Information signed and filed
211
+ by the United States Attorney, and hereby waives his right to be indicted by a grand jury as
212
+ to any such offense.

+ IN RE:
278
+ INVESTIGATION OF
279
+ JEFFREY EPSTEIN
280
+ ADDENDUM TO THE NON-PROSECUTION AGREEMENT
281
+ T APPEARING that the parties seck to clarify certain provisions of page paragraph paragraph
282
+ of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (hereinafter "paragraph 7"), that agreement is modified a
283
+ follows:
284
+ 7A.
285
+ The United States has the right to assign to an independent third-party the responsibility
286
+ for consulting with and, subject to the good faith approval of Epstein's counsel, selecting
287
+ e attorney representative for the individuals identified under the Agreement. If th
288
+ Inited States elects to assign this responsibility to an independent third-party, both th
289
+ United States and Epstein retain the right to make good faith objections to the attorney
290
+ representative suggested by the independent third-party prior to the final designation of
291
+ the attorney representative.
292
+ 7B.
293
+ The parties will jointly prepare a short written submission to the independent third-party
294
+ regarding the role of the attorney representative and regarding Epstein's Agreement to
295
+ pay such attorney representative his or her regular customary hourly rate for representing
296
+ such vietims subject to the provisions of paragraph C, infra.
297
+ 7C.
298
+ Pursuant to additional paragraph 7A, Epstein has agreed to pay the fees of the attorney
299
+ representative selected by the independent third party. This provision, however, shall not
300
+ obligate Epstein to pay the fees and costs of contested litigation filed against him. Thus,
301
+ If after consideration of potential settlements, an attorney representative elects to file a
302
+ contested lawsuit pursuant to 18 U.S.C. s 2255 or elects to pursue any other contested
303
+ remedy, the paragraph 7 obligation of the Agreement to pay the costs of the attorney
304
+ representative, as opposed to any statutory or other obligations to pay reasonable
305
+ attorneys foes and costs such as those contained in s 2255 to bear the costs of the attorney
306
+ representative, shall cease.

38
+ Chiefs,
39
+ As discussed yesterday at the Crim unit chiefs meeting, each year we obtain a substantial amount of funding for case
40
+ expenses from forfeiture funds allocated by EOUSA.
41
+ I will be compiling the Office's requests for such funding for
42
+ FY2O (September '20 to September '21), which are due to EOUSA on April 12.
43
+ Below is a description of the types of expenses covered, and attached are (1) requests submitted by all your units for last
44
+ year as a starting point; and (2) a spreadsheet of all the requests by unit to make it easier to pull yours out; and (3) the
45
+ FY20 Template Form to fill out for each case. Please complete (or have your AUSAs complete) the Form for each case
46
+ where there could be significant expenses, and email them to me and Andrew by the end of next Monday, April 8. If you
47
+ have line AUSAs fill the forms out, please gather them all together to send us in one batch, and make sure they do NOT
48
+ send them direct to EOUSA via the email listed on the form.
49
+ We can request funds to cover all manner of non-routine expenses, such as:
50
+ (1) Outside vendors for financial analysis/tracing, document review and discovery support, forensic analysis, etc.
51
+ (2) Expert consultants (but NOT expert witnesses for actual testimony, which comes from a different fund)
52
+ (3) Data- or document-hosting
53
+ (4) Large translation expenses
54
+ (5) Foreign travel
55
+ This is not an exhaustive list and we have been able to use this funding for a wide variety of expenses in the past, so you
56
+ should consider anything you think may be helpful to an investigation. Any questions, just let us know.
57
+ Thanks!

23

24
+ We still have reason to believe that photographs and video were taken of the cell during the time the officers initially
25
+ responded to the cell and shortly after Mr. Epstein was removed from the cell.
26
+ In light of the miscommunication regarding the surveillance video we would ask that you check again on the other photos

28

+ Your Honor:
12
+ This statement is in support of Ghislaine Maxwell's request for bail and her character.
13
+ I Anne Holve am Ghislaine Maxwell's eldest sister, and eldest of the Maxwell siblings since our late
14
+ eldest brother Michael, died after a car accident in 1961. I am 72 years old, a Graduate from Oxford
15
+ University with a Modern Languages Degree (French and Italian). I trained as an Actor at the Central
16
+ School of Speech and Drama and pursed an acting career for many years after that. Then went into
17
+ Publishing for a few years and later on trained as a Montessori teacher teaching young children in
18
+ schools for many years. In my early 40s, I began training as a Psychotherapist and am now a licensed
19
+ therapist in the United Kingdom, specializing in Cognititive Behavioral Therapy and Clinical
20
+ Hypnotherapy, with an active practice in North London. I am still working and have been in this
21
+ profession for 20 years.
22
+ I have of course known my sister Ghislaine since she was born when I was 14 years old and
23
+ witnessed her develop into a lovely, energetic and capable young woman. Growing up with our very
24
+ wealthy and successful father was definitely not an easy experience. He was highly domineering and
25
+ exacting and quick to anger if we did not immediately jump and/or respond to his questions and
26
+ demands. He could be intensely crushing of our dreams and efforts as we grew into young
27
+ adulthood, and even after. But each of us, including Ghislaine, also learned a relentless work ethic
28
+ and the importance of key moral values from both our parents such as "concentration, consideration
29
+ and conciseness" - a favorite dictum of our father's but also and highly important too was the social
30
+ training we all received in welcoming, no matter the inconvenience or the surprise to look after all
31
+ our father's many guests who came every weekend from all over the world whilst we were growing
32
+ up, including scientists, political figures and business leaders.
33
+ We were all expected to entertain
34
+ them. This might include playing tennis with them, showing them around the city of Oxford (where
35
+ our home was) but for the most part it consisted of basically engaging in conversation with them and
36
+ helping them to feel welcome and to enjoy their visit with our family.
37
+ Though Ghislaine left the United Kingdom for America just before our father died, as did our twin
38
+ siblings in the earlier decades, we have always remained close as a family and kept in contact. I know
39
+ that many of my nieces and nephews and their friends have visited and benefitted from staying with
40
+ Ghislaine during their vacations and for life experience over the years, and Ghislaine asked if our
41
+ daughter would like to come over for a few months after she finished university over here. It was a
42
+ EFTA00065670
43
+
44
+ kind and generous invitation from her and we had no hesitation whatsoever in sending her to spend
45
+ time with Ghislaine.
46
+ I must attest to my utter shock at the arrest of my sister on the charges she is facing. From all I know
47
+ of her and the family values we have all been brought up with and live our lives by, she would not be
48
+ capable of such behavior. I never witnessed Ghislaine be violent or remotely sexually inappropriate
49
+ with anybody of any age or gender, ever. She is a warm, loving and generous human being and 1 am
50
+ told she is bearing up with great courage and fortitude inside the detention center and those are
51
+ some of the qualities in her character that are sustaining her in her current awful circumstances. I
52
+ believe she is innocent of the charges brought against her and determined to prove her innocence. I
53
+ believe she wants nothing else but to fight these charges in court in July 2021 and to clear her name
54
+ and therefore would never seek to flee anywhere if she were granted bail. She, like all people so
55
+ charged, have a constitutional right to due process and indeed she has declared herself to be
56
+ innocent of all charges. She is innocent until proven otherwise and she like all people so charged - is
57
+ entitled to a fair trial by a jury of her peers.
58
+ 1, like all my brothers and sisters, have complete faith in Ghislaine's respect for the judicial process
59
+ and in her determination to fight all the charges brought against her. I am certain and confident of
60
+ Ghislaine's trustworthiness and of the importance of her achieving bail in order to properly be able
61
+ to prepare her defense to the charges she faces.
62
+ Yours respectfully,
63
+ Ahme J.T. Holvé
