Who is Sigrid McCawley and why is she significant?

Sigrid McCawley is an American attorney and co-managing partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP who represented Virginia Giuffre and other Epstein victims.

What does this document reveal about the Epstein investigation?

The document reveals that federal prosecutors in SDNY were actively investigating the Epstein case in early 2020, seeking witness interviews through cooperation with victims' attorneys. This was part of the investigation that eventually resulted in criminal charges against Ghislaine Maxwell in July 2020. The redacted witness name suggests protective measures for a potential victim or cooperating witness.

Why are names redacted in this document?

Several names are redacted in this document, including the SDNY prosecutors and the female witness (Ms. [redacted]). This is consistent with DOJ practices to protect ongoing investigations, victim privacy, and the identities of law enforcement personnel. The witness's identity may be protected due to her status as a potential victim or sensitive source.

What happened after this February 2020 meeting?

The meeting was scheduled for March 4, 2020. Months later, in July 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested on charges related to her role in Epstein's sex trafficking operation. In October 2020, McCawley successfully unsealed deposition transcripts that provided key evidence in the Maxwell case, and Maxwell was eventually convicted in December 2021.
