New MIAMI HERALD to federal judge: More urgent than ever to unseal accused sex traffickers records so public knows the truth.Link to tweet
Three months have passed since a judicial panel in New York heard arguments to unseal documents that could reveal whether federal prosecutors covered up evidence that New York financier Jeffrey Epstein and others were running an underage sex trafficking operation.
In March, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit seemed poised to release some documents in the case. The records involve Epsteins one-time partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been accused of helping him recruit and sexually exploit girls and young women in various locations around the United States and abroad in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The appeals panel gave all parties in the case until March 29 to file additional pleadings. Several challenges were subsequently filed, but the court has yet to make a final ruling.
The Miami Herald one of the intervenors in the case has submitted a letter to the court urging the judges to follow through on the case in the wake of a controversial Justice Department decision last week. In a 35-page motion, filed June 24, federal prosecutors in Georgia declared that they would not set aside Epsteins federal non-prosecution agreement.
