Government’s Motion for Limited Disclosure of Grand Jury Matter¶
This cause comes before the Court on the Government’s Sealed Ex Parte Motion for Limited Disclosure of Grand Jury Matter Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E)(i). After careful consideration of the grounds raised in said motions, and the Court being otherwise advised in the premises,¶
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Government’s Motion for Limited Disclosure of Grand Jury Matter Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E)(i) is GRANTED. The Government is authorized to disclose in Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. 2 v. United States, Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra (S.D. Fla.), that evidence gathered in the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s conduct has revealed that a number of districts outside the Southern District of Florida (including the Southern District of New York and the District of New Jersey) share jurisdiction and venue with the Southern District of Florida over potential federal criminal charges based on the alleged sexual acts committed by Epstein against both the Petitioners in Case No. 08-80736-Civ-Marra, thereby making Epstein subject to potential prosecution for such acts in those Districts.¶
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that disclosure pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(3)(E)(i) shall be conditioned on the following:¶
EFTA00205171¶
