A judge has ordered the release of sealed grand jury materials tied to the case of the late financier at the center of a sprawling sex-trafficking scandal, granting unprecedented access to previously hidden documents.
The newly unsealed records include sworn testimonies from dozens of witnesses describing alleged abuse, as well as affidavits, evidence inventories and detailed chronologies of related investigations — updating the public record on what prosecutors knew and when.
Legal teams and advocates are combing through the files for clues that may reopen civil suits or trigger further criminal investigations. Observers say the release could reshape how victims’ claims are handled and may prompt fresh scrutiny of associates or enablers within the network.
Court officials emphasized that grand jury statutes still shield many uncharged individuals, meaning the documents do not automatically imply guilt — but they offer a rare window into internal proceedings that were once hidden from view. The unsealing follows years of pressure from victims’ advocacy groups demanding transparency and accountability.
