A massive trove of potentially explosive court documents involving convicted billionaire sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein — which could reveal new allegations of abuse against “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well‐known Prime Minister and other world leaders” — should be made public, a federal court has ruled. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit acknowledged that the 2,000 pages of documents — which are related to a defamation lawsuit filed by one of Epstein’s accusers — have the potential to “damage privacy and reputation” and reveal new allegations against powerful world leaders and others. But that doesn’t mean they should stay sealed, the court said. “Upon reviewing the summary judgment materials in connection with this appeal, we find that there is no countervailing privacy interest sufficient to justify their continued sealing,” the panel wrote in its decision. Epstein — with the help of pal and British socialite Ghislane Maxwell — recruited young and underage girls for erotic massages and sex, authorities have said. He was hit with criminal charges in Florida but got off relatively easy: In 2008, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison on a state charge of soliciting an underage girl for sex and ended up serving 13 months. Maxwell was not charged, but she was sued for defamation by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre for claiming the girl was lying. see also DA knew Jeffrey Epstein was a dangerous pedophile when arguing for leniency The Manhattan DA’s office had graphic and detailed evidence of... The parties who filed to get documents from the defamation suit unsealed include prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who himself has been accused of having sex with Giuffre. Dershowitz has long denied those allegations. The Miami Herald, which has published a series of articles on Epstein, was among other parties that petitioned the court to have the materials released. The three-judge panel from the Second Circuit urged caution among both the public and the press when the documents are unsealed, saying that court filings are “particularly susceptible to fraud” and that some of what comes out might be less than credible. “Materials submitted by parties to a court should be understood for what they are,” the panel wrote. “They do not reflect the court’s own findings.” The documents won’t be released right away to give parties time to appeal.
