GHISLAINE MAXWELL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2021 Hey Thanks for sending this, we really appreciate the efforts about victim anonymity. I wanted to flag for your awareness: there will also be witnesses who are not victims, but who are testifying under pseudonyms because identifying them would identify victims. I would think the media policies about that would be the same, but I wanted to let you know in case you get press inquiries about those witnesses. Thanks!

GHISLAINE MAXWELL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2021 Importance: High In order meet the demand for the high volume of media requests we are already receiving, the following guidance is being provided in advance of the trial to ensure efficient communications. Please take careful note. UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE Southern District of New York PRESS GUIDANCE Tuesday, November 23, 2021 *OFF-THE-RECORD, AND FOR GUIDANCE ONLY: Several of the government's anticipated witnesses will be testifying in this trial using a pseudonym or first name. The Court granted a Government motion "attached] requesting that they be able to do so, because the victim witnesses are expected to describe alleged sensitive, explicit and personal events concerning illegal sexual abuse, sexual contact and other acts of which they have been victims. I believe most, if not all, news media outlets have a policy against identifying sex crime victims without their consent, and urge you to abide by that policy with our witnesses and respect their privacy. 9:30 a.m. — Final pretrial conference U.S. v.
