NEW YORK - A U.S. judge on Thursday authorized the release of new records from a 2015 civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate who is facing criminal charges that she lured girls for the late financier to sexually abuse.
The documents will not be released immediately, after the judge granted Maxwell's lawyer a week to file an emergency motion with the federal appeals court in Manhattan to block the release. They include flight logs from Epstein's private jets, deposition testimony in 2016 in which Maxwell's lawyers said she was asked"intrusive" questions about her sex life, and police reports from Palm Beach, Florida, where Epstein had a home.
Maxwell is trying to halt the dissemination of information that she believes could impede her defense in the criminal case, including out-of-court statements by prosecutors, FBI agents and lawyers for some accusers.U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan said in a separate order on Thursday that a gag order was not needed now to protect Maxwell's right to a fair trial, but that she"will not hesitate" to act if needed.
