A federal judge ruled to keep secret certain details of Ghislaine Maxwell’s case deemed to be too \u201csensational and impure\u201d for the public eye after she was jailed for conspiracy to sexually abuse young girls alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court Judge Alison Nathan issued the ruling and concurred with Maxwell’s earlier request to keep the transcripts under lock.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a \u2018craving for that which is sensational and impure,\u2019\u201d Nathan wrote Thursday,\u00a0according to<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0New York Post<\/i>.<\/p>\n Prosecutors at the time had also requested certain redactions to \u201cprotect the integrity\u201d of the case, and Nathan agreed.<\/p>\n \u201cThe interest in protecting the safety and privacy of those individuals outweighs the presumption of access that attaches to those documents,\u201d the judge wrote of the matter.<\/p>\n Maxwell’s team opposed certain aspects of the prosecutors’ motion but failed to demonstrate sufficient “evidence” to make some of the information public, the judge decided. It’s unclear why she sought the move.<\/p>\n Maxwell was\u00a0arrested<\/a>\u00a0in July 2020 and\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0with conspiring with Epstein to recruit, groom, and sexually abuse underage girls, as well as perjury in depositions regarding Epstein. The British socialite \u201cvigorously denies the charges\u201d and pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
