On Monday, the Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the 418-page deposition in which Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and alleged madam of Jeffrey Epstein, was interrogated about her sex life, should be released to the public.
A defamation case brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre produced thousands of files; the deposition is part of that cache. Although Maxwell settled the defamation case in 2017, media organizations pushed for the documents to be revealed. Giuffre has alleged Epstein made her his “sex slave” and that Maxwell helped him in his actions. Giuffre’s attorneys have stated that Maxwell chose to forgo her right to remain silent when she was deposed in 2016.
