A longtime associate of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was granted a delay for a conference that had been set for Thursday to consider unsealing as many as 2,000 pages of documents in a related civil suit.
The federal appeals court in New York last week ordered the unsealing of some documents in a defamation case filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015. Giuffre had claimed she was an underage victim of Epstein and Maxwell. Epstein was charged Monday with conspiracy and child sex trafficking.
