Audrey Strauss served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from June 2020 to October 2021, leading the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking and other federal crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of minors.
Audrey Strauss appears extensively in prosecutorial documents and internal communications from the U.S. Attorney's Office during the Maxwell investigation and trial (2019-2021). She is referenced in emails coordinating press remarks for Maxwell's arrest, discussions about case strategy, coordination with DOJ officials, and internal deliberations about the Epstein estate. Many documents show her as the supervising authority approving prosecutorial decisions, coordinating with the Public Corruption Unit, and managing media strategy around the high-profile case. One flight manifest from 1999 shows someone named 'AUDREY' as a passenger, though this appears unrelated to Audrey Strauss given the context.
Key Highlights
- •Led the prosecution that charged Ghislaine Maxwell with six federal crimes including sex trafficking of minors, announcing 'Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated, aided, and participated in acts of sexual abuse of minors'
- •Supervised the investigation during her tenure as Acting/U.S. Attorney (2020-2021), coordinating with FBI, DOJ officials, and managing over 2.7 million pages of discovery
- •Internal emails show her involvement in case strategy, press coordination, and deliberations about the Epstein estate investigation
- •The 1999 flight manifest reference to 'AUDREY' likely refers to a different individual, as Audrey Strauss was in private practice at that time
