Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers are pleading with a judge not to 'let the cat out of the bag' by unsealing a trove of potentially embarrassing documents from her case against Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
Maxwell's legal team says her chance of a fair trial could be destroyed if the deposition she gave in 2016 was publicly released.
The documents contain 'intimate, sensitive and personal' information about Maxwell which would 'spread like wildfire across the Internet', her lawyers said in a Thursday night filing.
Parts of Maxwell's deposition were published last month, but others remain under seal while she appeals their release in a Manhattan court.
The British socialite denies charges of helping Jeffrey Epstein to recruit and abuse underage girls between 1994 and 1997, and is in custody awaiting her trial next year.
