A federal appeals court has moved to quickly unseal long-secret court filings related to financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual contact with underage girls, but one judge is expressing some disagreement with the plan
.
The order from Judges Jose Cabranes and Christopher Droney calls for unsealing a summary judgment motion that lawyers for Epstein friend Ghislaine Maxwell filed in a bid to knock down a lawsuit. That suit, brought by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre and filed in federal court in New York, accused Maxwell of recruiting teenage girls to provide sexual services for the wealthy investment manager.
“Should the parties fail to establish good cause, the decision and such materials will be unsealed,” the appeals court said in the new order.
