Summary
This letter from the U.S. Attorney to Judge Nathan concerns the deadline for Ghislaine Maxwell's defense to file a motion under Federal Rule of Evidence 412, which governs the admissibility of evidence of a victim's sexual behavior. The government argues that the court has the authority to set an earlier deadline than the defense requests and that an earlier deadline is necessary to ensure timely resolution of sensitive issues before trial.

Notable Quotes 3
"evidence offered to prove that a victim engaged in other sexual behavior" is inadmissible.
"aims to safeguard the alleged victim against the invasion of privacy, potential embarrassment and sexual stereotyping that is associated with public disclosure of intimate sexual details."
"Given that the hearing provides an opportunity for the Rule 412 movant to detail the evidence he seeks to admit and for the parties to discuss the propriety of its admission, the notice requirement should be seen as serving two purposes: I) aiding the Court in determining the threshold matter of whether a hearing is necessary; and 2) providing sufficient notice to the nonmovant and victim alike to prepare for and argue against the necessity of any in camera hearing."
