A federal judge who presided over the sex trafficking case against Jeffrey Epstein says a Wednesday conference to address harm done to the financier's victims by a massive release of records isn't needed after a deal was struck to protect their identities.

A judge has ruled that secret grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case can be made public.

One of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most vocal accusers is urging judges to grant the Justice Department’s request unseal to records from their federal sex trafficking cases, saying that “only transparency is likely to lead to justice.”.

It's not clear when the Justice Department will release its files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.
