The judge’s order could mean other documents, like Epstein’s flight logs and police reports from his neighbourhood, be made public.There is a substantial concern that these individuals will seek to use discovery materials to support their civil cases and future public statements According to allegations made in her indictment, Maxwell “assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping Epstein to recruit, groom and ultimately abuse victims known to Maxwell and Epstein to be under the age of 18”.
