Doesn’t the confidentiality provision obligate us to file it under seal?¶

Alex and Jeff,¶
Do you have any preference for filing under seal or a public filing? If we can protect the identities of the minor victims in a public filing, that is one less reason to file it under seal. The other considerations are the government’s confirmation that Epstein was under federal investigation, and the confidentiality provision in the deferral of prosecution agreement with Epstein.¶
It’s actually easier to file it electronically, and the general policy is that documents filed in court are public.¶

I was planning to redact all of that information prior to scanning it and attaching Exhibit Stickers. I think we should do so even if this is filed under seal.¶

Marie,¶
I will sign the response. Since this case involves girls who were minors when the crimes were committed, and there is a confidentiality provision in the deferral of prosecution agreement with Epstein, I believe this should be filed under seal. Otherwise, we’ll have to go through each letter and excise the names, addresses, and other identifying information on the three girls.¶
