A New York federal judge Monday ordered transcripts of depositions conducted with Ghislaine Maxwell to be unsealed as soon as possible, to shed light on the sex-trafficking scheme she allegedly ran with the late registered sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell, who was arrested in New Hampshire in early July 2020, is accused of helping Epstein traffic and sexually abuse underage girls for at least three years in the 1990s. The Department of Justice charged her with multiple counts related to sex trafficking of minors and perjury. Maxwell pled not guilty in that case.

Maxwell previously appealed from a district court order to unseal certain litigation materials and judicial documents, including her April 2016 deposition transcript. Maxwell argued that “her interests outweigh the public’s interests.”

The US District Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the lower court’s ruling in rejecting Maxwell’s “meritless arguments that her interests superseded the presumption of access.” “We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by [Maxwell] on appeal and find them to be without merit,” the court wrote. “The District Court’s order articulated and applied the correct legal framework in its individualized review of the materials to be unsealed.”

The case was brought by Virginia Giuffre, one of Maxwell’s public accusers. Giuffre has previously won the release of other legal documents related to a now-settled defamation suit against Maxwell, including previously unseen email exchanges between Maxwell and Epstein. Monday’s order is another victory for Giuffre’s case.
