Attorneys for Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell sought this week to prohibit her accusers from publicly posting evidence from her criminal trial to help boost their civil suits against her.

Fox News reported that “attorneys for Maxwell sought to come to an agreement with prosecutors on secrecy rules– typical for a sex abuse case — in which both sides agree to keep the evidence confidential before the trial, the lawyers could not compromise on whether to extend the rules to the state’s witnesses.” Those witnesses, the outlet reported, were underage girls when Maxwell allegedly recruited them to provide sexual favors to Epstein, who died by hanging last year while in prison.
