The British socialite's lawyers want more time to discuss the new information with prosecutors while keeping documents out of public view.
Defense lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell say they have received “critical new information” that could affect her criminal case and the unsealing of more documents in her civil lawsuit with accuser Virginia Giuffre.
Maxwell’s lawyers did not reveal the new information, saying in documents filed Monday that it was subject to a protective order in Maxwell’s criminal case. They asked for a three-week stay while they negotiate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office about sharing the new information with other courts. The Southern District of New York has permitted thousands of pages of documents in the civil lawsuit Giuffre v. Maxwell, which was settled in 2017, to be unsealed, painting a fuller picture of how Epstein and Maxwell allegedly used their positions to manipulate and sexually abuse an unknown number of underage girls all over the world.. It included Epstein emails and the deposition of Giuffre, who said she was ordered to have sex with many older men, allegedly including Prince Andrew of Britain.
Giuffre testified she was told to give Prince Andrew “whatever he demanded” and to then report details to Epstein. She also recalled seeing former President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s secluded private island, despite Clinton’s denials of ever having visited the property.Maxwell pleaded not guilty last month to six felony counts alleging that she recruited and groomed underage girls for sexual abuse with Epstein.
Epstein, a wealthy financier whose source of income remains somewhat mysterious, was found dead in his jail cell in August 2019 in what authorities declared a suicide following his arrest on multiple sex trafficking charges.

Prince Andrew May Have a Foot Fetish and Other Horrible Revelations from the Deposition of Virginia GiuffreOn July 30, a sizable amount of documents were unsealed from a defamation suit between Ghislaine Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre, a woman who was allegedly trafficked by Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein when she was a teen girl, and who wrote a memoir about her time with the pair. The documents, which were unsealed by Judge Loretta A. Preska in late July as part of Maxwell’s sex trafficking charges, include depositions from Giuffre and her full, unpublished manuscript for The Billionaire Playboys’ Club, which names some of the people she allegedly met during her time with Epstein and Maxwell. In the manuscript, Giuffre repeatedly calls her time with Epstein and Maxwell a form of “first-class slavery,” and describes many gruesome instances of “erotic massages” given to Epstein’s friends from the time she was just 16 years old. Of all the characters in her memoir, though, some of the worst allegedly occurred with Prince Andrew, Duke of York.\n
