Rakoff on Feb. 27, asking to unseal excerpts from Doe’s deposition that were filed to the court docket as exhibits.
McCraw added that some Epstein victims received “carve-outs” from previous settlements with the trafficker’s estate that allowed them to sue “other powerful men who were complicit in their abuse.”— Jes Staley to his friend Jeffrey Epstein These excerpts also include Doe testifying to “the ways in which Epstein’s request that she recruit other victims deeply affected her psychologically” and “the manipulation Epstein employed to try to force her to do so,” McCawley wrote.
The deposition, Wohlgemuth wrote, was taken before Staley became a defendant in the cases and the bank honcho didn’t have an opportunity to cross-examine his accuser. , the unverified, untested testimony of Jane Doe in the exhibits at issue is hardly a unique font of information on this subject.” McCraw argued that “etails that are identifying can and should be redacted, with input from Ms. Doe’s counsel, but the remainder of the excerpt should be released.”
