Two advocacy groups have asked a judge to unseal court records and preserve public access to hearings in the class action lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons over the sexual abuse of incarcerated women at a now-shuttered California prison.

Associated PressFILE - The Federal Correctional Institution is shown in Dublin, Calif., Monday, March 11, 2024. Two advocacy groups on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, asked a judge to unseal court records and preserve public access to hearings in the class action lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons over sexual abuse of incarcerated women at a now-shuttered California prison.

In addition, the court has “granted numerous motions to seal records in the case and many of the motions themselves are under seal, leaving the public and the press in the dark,” the statement said. The prisons bureau didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about Wednesday's request to unseal records. But the bureau has said repeatedly that it doesn’t comment on matters pending before the court.
