Lawyers defending Jeffery Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell are urging an overturn of a ruling that would see the unsealing of her deposition made in 2016.
The deposition was part of a defamation lawsuit against her on behalf of victim who claims she was kept as a sex slave for Epstein with Maxwells help.
Maxwell has claimed that the intimate and sensitive details of the deposition would violate her right against self-incrimination. Prosecutors are calling the effort a thinly veiled attempt to have the deposition dismissed on the basis the evidence was gathered illegally. Maxwell is set to go to trail in July next year.
