NEW YORK Privacy rights versus press freedoms took center stage Wednesday at an explosive federal appeals court hearing in New York, where lawyers argued to unseal confidential court files that could reveal evidence of an underage sex trafficking operation allegedly run by New York multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his partner, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reserved judgment in the case, but the panel suggested it was leaning toward the release to the public of vast portions of the court record. The file on the case, which was settled in 2017, contains more than 1,000 documents, lawyers said during oral arguments led by the Miami Herald, which seeks to open the entire file.
Most of the documents, including court orders and motions, were filed under seal or heavily redacted, similar to other cases in New York and Florida involving the wealthy, politically connected money manager. Epstein, now 66, was not a party to the lawsuit, which was filed against Maxwell in 2015 by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claimed she was recruited by the pair to perform massages on them when she was 16 and known as Virginia Roberts. Giuffre claims she and other girls were sexually abused and pimped out to a number of wealthy influential people from 1999 to 2002.

dimoKKKKRATS will be fighting this one tooth and nail. They will not want this information released.
We must protect Deep Staters and let them have their illicit pleasures.
They might go for it as a way to nail Giuliani
The Clintoon mob will be putting juice on this....Billy’s hands (and whatever else) were all over this one....these perverts should get what is coming to them.
Dershowitz is up to his neck with Epstein on the Lolita Express.
And Dersh was one of Epstein’s lawyers that got Epstein a slap on the wrist in the case.
This could explain why so many people turn around once they get to Washington.
They attend some stupid party, they get photographed with an underage sex slave, and then they are blackmailed forever. And someone has to be setting all this up- Epstein and this woman were the fixers.
They [the new congress critter] may not even know... it is easy to get a photo of someone that looks like they are standing next to someone else. I’ve seen it done.
In Buffalo, the GOP Sheriff was on stage at a rally- there was a group holding a confederate flag off to the side 100 yards away- NOT mingling with anyone else. The next day the sheriff was shown on the front page of the local newspaper with the confederate flag appearing to be right next to him- The only way that was possible was for someone to STAGE that picture with a telephoto lens from a parking garage 100 yards away overlooking the stage. They went through a lot of trouble to plan and stage that shot.
People talk about his punishment:
“18 months in prison”
Hardly:
He continued that whole time employed, then checked into a local jail to sleep at night.
It was a mind-blowing deal, with sometime like 10 girls accusing them of molesting them.
If you did that to just one girl you’d go grey and die in prison, if you didn’t first get shanked in a chow line or beaten to death with a toilet lid by your cellie.
These records will not be released or if they are released they will be redacted to the point were they are useless. The Deep State will resort to murder if necessary. They have no fear.
I said TEN girl accusers, before I read the article.
Here's what the article says:
Epstein was accused by more than three dozen girls, most of them 13 to 16, of luring them to
OVER 36 DIFFERENT ACCUSERS..!
What would you say, if you were a Bill Cosby fan, huh..?
Sometimes I can really understand black outrage.
Open. It. All.
I have a photo of my wife with the Pope ...
If he had taken Jeri Ryan to a sex club they would have been released weeks ago.
> They attend some stupid party, they get photographed with an underage sex slave, and then they are blackmailed forever.
Hunter S Thompson detailed precisely that technique in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Which was written about events from 1968 IIRC. So this has been going on for generations now.
They must have found a way to tie Trump to this while avoiding Slick Willie’s connection. Otherwise it would remain in the dust bin of Democrat scandals.
dimoKKKKRATS will be fighting this one tooth and nail. They will not want this information released.
***************
And so it won’t be. They own the courts.
The redacted copy will have the name of his frequent travel partner, Bill Clinton, blacked out. Can’t have that on the public record.
Everybody should know everything.
I don’t care *who* this takes down, or what the consequences; life in a general population federal PYITA joint or hanging for everyone, democrat or republican molesting any of these girls, or knowing about it and not informing the authorities immediately. No exceptions, no exemptions, no exclusions and let the chips fall where they may.
democraps are turning the rule of law into a joke
Is anyone else here notice how all of the child molester types are being outed in this Trump administration?
Trump is taken many specific steps to take on child trafficking and child abuse and child exploitation
Much or most of this is by leftists and Democrats including former President Bill Clinton and many others
Look at what’s happening to Michael Jackson look what’s happening to our Kelly all of these molester types even if it was 20 , 30 or 40 years ago and the Catholic Church and others are getting their comeuppance
I for one applaud it
