A federal judge has approved the release of grand jury records and other materials from Ghislaine Maxwells sex trafficking case, following a new law requiring the government to open its files on Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. The Justice Department plans to release eighteen categories of investigative materials, including search warrants, financial records, and notes from victim interviews, by December 19th. However, the judge cautioned that these documents might not reveal much new information, as they do not identify anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell as having sexual contact with a minor, nor do they name any clients. Maxwells lawyer argued that unsealing these records could harm her plans to challenge her conviction, but the Supreme Court declined to hear Maxwells appeal in October. Jeffrey Epstein, a millionaire financier, was arrested in July 2019 on sex trafficking charges and died by suicide in jail a month later. Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted of sex trafficking in December 2021 and is currently serving a twenty-year prison sentence.
