GHISLAINE Maxwell’s bid to gag Epstein’s victims has been denied.
Her lawyers filed a letter earlier this week complaining about “prejudicial statements” made about the case, reports ABC News.
Maxwell’s lawyer Jeffrey Pagliuca claimed the the alleged victims’ attorneys had made “presumptively prejudicial statements” while talking to the media.
But US District Court Judge Alison Nathan said she didn’t “believe that further action is needed at this time to protect the Defendant’s right to a fair trial by an impartial jury.”
This comes as Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex life will be revealed ahead of her trial on sex trafficking charges, a New York judge has ruled.
Lawyers for Maxwell had sought to keep documents from a 2015 lawsuit sealed on the grounds they contained “extremely personal” information that could used to “promote public scandal”.
Maxwell has long fought the release of the five documents, totally 94 pages, but Judge Loretta Preska today ruled they would be unsealed.
