Two mystery litigants citing privacy concerns are making a last-ditch bid to keep secret some details in a lawsuit stemming from wealthy financier Jeffrey Epsteins history of paying underage girls for sex.
Just prior to a court-imposed deadline Tuesday, two anonymous individuals surfaced to object to the unsealing of a key lower-court ruling in the case, as well as various submissions by the parties.

They were going to be unsealed last Tuesday, but two lawyers repping anonymous people said OH NOES DONT EMBARRASS US
Hopefully, a decision is made to ignore these two and to unseal Epsteins docs

OP
I heard on MSNBC that one of these two is a victim. She does not her name to become public.

Apparently not, what...I am perhaps wrongly assuming that the female is a victim and the male is

In the victim's case, why can they redact her name? Maybe for the other person too ..

In Epstein's case, more likely a perp than a victim.

had no idea
i sure hope her name can be redacted, and those of other victims, so this case can move forward
thanks for straightening me out, loopa

(29,096 posts)6. ..and what about the Male?
Have we straightened that out?

(13,527 posts)7. Apparently not, what...I am perhaps wrongly assuming that the female is a victim and the male is
a predator in this scenario, but hey, what do I know? Maybe Epstein trafficked some boys as well, or maybe a male was unwittingly used by him to accomplish his goals...
Sigh - maybe the whole unsealing will just never happen, right...
All this waiting, arrgghh

If Mueller's efforts showed us nothing else, we saw how redactions work.

From the Only in Fla Dept This is the state prosecutor
who helped Jeffrey Epstein escape federal Sex trafficking
charges. Barry Krischer, now retired, has a humanitarian
award named after him only in Florida. From the @pbpost
whose readers sent me this.
A lot of attention has been placed on Alexander Acosta
but Barry Krisher was the STATE prosecutor who wanted
to give Jeffrey Epstein a total pass charging him with a
misdemeanor.
And Krischer has never answered the tough questions about
why he didnt want to prosecute Epstein. Remember there
were at least 20 middle school girls who said Epstein molested
them. Why did he let Epstein off the hook?
