Judge Preska Orders Unsealing of Epstein Victim Files and Grand Jury Materials; Judge Torres Unseals Grand Jury Subpoenas

Judge Preska ruled that the Epstein Files Transparency Act overrides Ghislaine Maxwell's privacy claims and grand jury secrecy, ordering the unsealing of victim files and Boies Schiller grand jury materials. This is a major legal victory for transparency, directly advancing the push for accountability. The ruling also references Giuffre's tragic suicide and Prince Andrew's settlement, reinforcing the human cost. Subsequently, Judge Torres unsealed the Maxwell-Epstein grand jury subpoenas on August 11, 2026, under the same Act, providing direct insight into prosecutors' evidence and dropped perjury charges. This order could unlock more documents and increase pressure on DOJ.
