Ghislaine Maxwell case details too ‘sensational and impure' for public, judge says
[NYP] A federal judge on Thursday agreed with Ghislaine Maxwell’s request to keep certain details in the criminal case against her secret — finding that information would be too "sensational and impure" to reveal to the public.

US District Judge Alison J. Nathan issued a ruling on redactions that Maxwell had asked for regarding transcripts the government filed under seal last month.

"Those portions of the transcript, which were redacted in the civil matter, concern privacy interests and their disclosure would merely serve to cater to a ’craving for that which is sensational and impure,’" Nathan wrote in the order.

The judge also granted redactions that prosecutors made when filing the transcript. Prosecutors had argued the redactions were necessary to "protect the integrity" of the investigation into Maxwell and to protect the privacy of third parties.

#3 Too 'sensational and impure' means they fear a run on the market for tar and feathers, and rope if the details came out.

#5 Ayuh, if the guilty party was Joe Blow (no pun intended) I'm sure the judge would have ruled the same way.

#7 So, you can hear "Wet A$$ P*$$y" on the radio or TV but can't hear about American politicians diddling kids on a private island? Seems sort of arbitrary to me...

#12 'Impure' would mean the Clintons.
I'm surprised she didn't say 'sacrilegious'.
