Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who publicly accused Jeffrey Epstein of sex trafficking, must destroy files they obtained on Epstein after a Wednesday ruling by a federal judge.
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking. Allegedly, Epstein procured women to have sexual relations with high-profile individuals, such as Prince Andrew. Information about Epstein, culled from a 2015 civil suit filed against Epstein by Giuffre, allegedly contained the names of individuals with whom Epstein had conducted business.
Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled Wednesday that Giuffre's lawyers had come into possession of the documents improperly, noting that the protective order could only be enforced during the civil lawsuit proceedings which had already been settled. Preska wrote that all the materials in the files "shall be destroyed."

OH NO, my hard drive crashed.
So, I brought in a computer nerd to recover my files.
And low and behold that Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking folder popped up complete with all of the files uncorrupted.
What are the chances of that?!
I can understand a judge, rightly or wrongly, prohibiting certain “evidence from being presented in court. But how can any judge have the authority to rule that any “evidence” be destroyed. It the material is truly “evidence” then it is of use to either the prosecutor or the defendant in a criminal matter, and to the plaintiff or the defense in a civil matter. I am 80-years old and have never encountered this kind of ruling before.
Compromised.
There must be some kind of corruption? This doesn't make sense.
Guess that would depend upon what the judge may at some time have been involved in.
