Judge Loretta Preska, of the federal court for the southern district of New York, in Manhattan, set that date to give time to file objections to anyone who opposes their documents being made public.

It is estimated that the list includes more than 150 names, although a few will remain sealed either because they are not associated with Epstein or Maxwell, or they are an alleged victim of sexual abuse who has not spoken publicly, maintaining their privacy, according to the judge. in your order.
