A federal judge on Aug. 12 declined a request by Ghislaine Maxwell to delay the unsealing of potentially explosive additional court documents related to her dealings with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell, the former girlfriend and longtime associate of Epstein, faces criminal charges that she aided the disgraced financier’s sexual abuses. She was arrested in New Hampshire over a month ago on charges that she facilitated and aided Epstein by recruiting, grooming, and sexually exploiting minor girls. She has denied all of the allegations and intends to fight the charges in court.
