This is the official July 2, 2020 court order unsealing the federal indictment against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 20 Cr. 330) in the Southern District of New York.
This three-page document consists of a formal letter from Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss to Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker requesting that Indictment 20 Cr. 330 be unsealed, along with the signed unsealing order. The document marks the public revelation of federal charges against Ghislaine Maxwell for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors. Maxwell was arrested the same day this order was signed, and the unsealing allowed prosecutors to publicly announce the charges that would eventually lead to her conviction and 20-year prison sentence.
