Ghislaine Maxwell’s prosecutors said her request for a new trial based on a juror’s disclosure that he was the victim of childhood sexual abuse should be public.
Last month the British socialite filed the request under seal, with her lawyer Christian Everdell arguing on Tuesday that public disclosure would “provide a roadmap” for the juror and give him “an improper preview” of information he shouldn’t have. Maxwell’s jury was anonymous and the man was only known as “Juror 50” during the trial.
