A judge will likely decide Tuesday whether or not to bar accusers of Jeffrey Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell from posting evidence linked to Maxwell's criminal trial on the internet in an attempt to boost their pending civil lawsuits. Several of those witnesses were underage girls when they allege Maxwell helped recruit them in a scheme that resulted in ongoing sexual abuse at the hands of her and Epstein. GHISLAINE MAXWELL FEARS FOR HER LIFE, BELIEVES SHE MIGHT MEET THE SAME FATE AS JEFFREY EPSTEIN: REPORTMaxwell's lawyers cited current civil litigation between Maxwell and “many of the government’s potential witnesses," saying numerous potential witnesses and their lawyers have already publicly commented about the case. “There is a substantial concern that these individuals will seek to use discovery materials to support their civil cases and future public statements," the lawyers wrote. Maxwell's trial in the highly publicized case is scheduled to begin in July 2021 in Manhattan federal.
