Case 1:15-cv-07433-LAP Document 1328-20 Filed 01/05/24 Page 7 of 14 copying and redaction fees. As such, there is no “privacy” interest in preserving these documents obtained in such fashion as “Confidential” under the Protective Order. Indeed, in February 2015, the New York Daily News apparently obtained the police reports concerning Plaintiffs false claim of sex assault from February 1998, interviewed one of the two boys accused and the lawyer for the other, and published substantial details obtained from the police reports. See Oren Yaniv, “Alleged ‘sex slave’ of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew accused 2 men of rape in 1998, but was found not credible,” New York Daily News (Feb. 23, 2015), http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/sex-slave-prince-andrew-accused-2-men-rape- 1998-article-1.2125569 (last accessed Feb. 24, 2016). Remarkably, Plaintiffs counsel provided an interview for that article and gave her own inaccurate characterization of the prosecuting authority’s findings. See, id. (“For the prosecutors to describe her as not credible means only that they did not think they had sufficient evidence to win. But she was raped,’ the lawyer said in a statement.”). Unfortunately, counsel’s characterization of the police reports is directly contradicted by the police reports themselves, which found that Plaintiff “lacked credibility” and there was a “no reasonable probability of success at trial.’ Compare id. and Menninger Decl., Ex.

The prosecutor did not say (as counsel claimed in the news article) that they lacked “sufficient evidence” to win. Now, Plaintiff's counsel having put her own false public spin on the Palm Beach authorities’ findings wants to preclude others from correcting the public record with the actual findings contained in the report. The records are not confidential because they are accessible by the public, can be (and have been) accessed by the media, and Plaintiff's counsel has inaccurately characterized the
