NEW YORK (AP) — Sealed court records contain the names of at least hundreds of third parties who were mentioned in a civil case involving sexual abuse allegations against the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a federal judge said Wednesday.

The third parties, including a man now identified only as John Doe, will be allowed to object to the release of the documents following a painstaking review of the materials, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska said.

"In some of these documents there are literally a thousand people" mentioned, Preska said, referring to a tranche of filings that includes more than two dozen depositions.

The records also include hundreds of pages of investigative reports, said Jeff Pagliuca, an attorney for former Epstein girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

"There's some work involved in this," he said of the process the attorneys will follow in determining which names to black out.

2. Let it all come out wherever it leads

[Perseus]

9. Agreed, wherever it leads

We may disappointed at some of the people on the list, but I don't care, they should have thought about what they were doing at the time.

13. Anything else would be wrong.

3. "Redaction", the catch word of the decade.

Hopefully, or perhaps regrettably, it will replace “exceeding your expectations” as the most overused, misinterpreted term in modern history.

The word “redaction” already makes my blood boil.

4. "Thousands of Names" mean nothing...

...without context. The casual mention of a name could bring loss of job, reputation, marriage, financial ruin - and a lawsuit. They are right to be careful.

5. That's right...

The worst thing you can take from someone is their good name, and it never returns in as good a condition as when it left.
Check every name.

6. As everybody here well knows.

Except those who use their full legal name as their handle.

[lagomorph777]

11. "Lagomorph" is my full legal name.

You wouldn't believe the spam I get from using it here.



Just kidding.

8. "John Doe" already asked to no be named...

he no doubt is the first John Doe in a list of hundreds.

Jeffrey Epstein Case: Over 1,000 People Connected to Him in Address Book

One unidentified man asked a judge not to release his name and those of others, fearing damage to their reputations.

A trove of sealed court records names hundreds of people who are connected to Jeffrey Epstein, and one unnamed man has already asked a judge not to release his name or the names of others accused in the documents of wrongdoing, arguing it could unfairly damage their reputations.

The anonymous motion seeking to keep the records sealed underscored the sordid nature of the allegations against Mr. Epstein and the fear of people in his social circles that their standing could be harmed by any links to him.

Mr. Epstein killed himself in a federal jail cell last month while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in Manhattan, but he left behind questions about who else might have been implicated in the alleged abuse.

“There are hundreds of other people implicated in dockets,” Jeffrey S. Pagliuca, an attorney involved in the litigation, said on Wednesday during a hearing about releasing the records, in Federal District Court in Manhattan. “There are a lot of people, your honor.”

He said the people are named in 29 depositions, voluminous investigatory records and an “address book” that includes over 1,000 names.

I needz laughs!
