10 id. 12 13 14 L5 16 ne) 18 life) 20 21 22 23 24 25 16 H3VOGIU1 list, we're not able to cross examine him, so what they want to do is introduce triple hearsay of Buckingham Palace saying what Prince Andrews said in a news article without the reporter against my client without our ability to cross examine him on that. So your Honor, they've tried to argue a little bit of a securitous way, I think that it's a verbal act on behalf of Prince Andrew, it doesn't meet that criteria, there's been no statement by there's been no action by my client against him, and what's at issue in this case is, again, Maxwell's statements against my client. The case that they cite actually, the Minemyer case, goes against them. It actually talks about how you would have to call the reporter, that that couldn't come into evidence. And so, your Honor, for those reasons, we believe that, again, that's a distraction, it's highly prejudicial to allow a triple hearsay document like that to come in without our ability to be able to cross examine that individual. So for those reasons, your Honor, we believe that that should not come in. They also made an argument that it's somehow an intervening cause or that, you know, it goes to the issue of she should be seeking damages from Prince Andrew, things of that nature. But as we know, because your Honor reviewed the case law with respect to the summary judgment, each individual is responsible for their own defamation, so it doesn't come SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

Civil lawsuit alleges Epstein‑Maxwell sex‑trafficking scheme tied to federal plea negotiations and possible high‑level cover‑up

Civil lawsuit alleges Epstein‑Maxwell sex‑trafficking scheme tied to federal plea negotiations and possible high‑level cover‑up The passage provides concrete allegations from a civil complaint (named plaintiff Ransome) that Jeffrey Epstein recruited a young masseuse with promises of fashion‑design work, kept her passport, and forced sex with powerful figures. It links the timeline to a non‑prosecution agreement negotiated by federal prosecutors (including an unnamed Acosta) and notes that the deal quashed an FBI investigation. The mention of Prince Andrew, [REDACTED - Survivor], and potential involvement of senior DOJ officials gives actionable leads (names, dates, alleged transactions) that merit follow‑up, though the claims are unverified and rely on a single civil filing. Key insights: Ransome’s civil complaint (filed Jan 2017) alleges Epstein promised career help in exchange for sex and kept her passport.; Complaint ties alleged abuse to the period when Epstein’s lawyers were negotiating a non‑prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors (Acosta et al.).; The plea deal allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state prostitution charges, receive a private‑wing jail sentence, and allegedly halted an FBI probe into an international trafficking network.
