The U.S. Court of Appeals ordered the immediate unsealing of nearly 2,000 pages of records in the case against Florida billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Wednesday ordered the immediate unsealing of nearly 2,000 pages of records in the case against Florida billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. The court warned the media and public about the privacy ramifications for those mentioned in the documents.
“We recognize the potential damage to privacy and reputation that may accompany public disclosure of hard‐fought, sensitive litigation,” the opinion said.
Epstein pleaded guilty to two prostitution charges and served 13 months in Palm Beach County jail, but could have faced life in prison with a federal sex trafficking conviction. His alleged accomplices were never charged.
The panel also found the district court failed to conduct the “requisite particularized review” before sealing the filings.

I work with a guy who was in prison for 10 years for molesting an underage girl.
I mentioned that pedophiles were trying to legitimize themselves by aligning with the LGBT movement. He bristled when I said that.
Jeffery Epstein was running the Lolita Express and many of our fearless leaders and wannbes have taken that flight. ;)
