Jeffrey Epstein's slow release of unsealed documents revealed a secret account belonging to his ex-sex offender girlfriend on a site known for explicit content, which still exists today.
To satisfy US District Judge Loretta Preska's order, waves of documents related to Virginia Giuffre's civil suit against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell have continued to be released in recent days. While many have focused on the names of high-profile figures connected to the late financier and his private island, the unsealed documents also revealed that the convict had made use of a Tumblr account.
Maxwell, who was notably sentenced to more than two decades in federal prison for sex trafficking of a minor, among other charges, without a single client being exposed, alleged that he hid the account when Giuffre's lawyers had tried that more documents be turned over during a hearing for the lawsuit that was settled in 2017.
Meredith Schultz, one of the attorneys representing Giuffre, had argued at the time that a Mindspring.com email address listed in a police report had been claimed as a “spam account” used by Maxwell to redirect promotional materials of retail stores and the like of your main address.
According to the unsealed transcript, Schultz told the court that the since-convicted sex offender had used the email for multiple message-capable and file-sharing accounts that included LinkedIn, Dropbox and Tumblr.
“The publicly available information we've gathered shows that the defendant used this account not just for spam. He used it for his Dropbox account, which is an online file sharing account where you can exchange files and photos. She has used it for herself [LinkedIn] account, which is a professional networking website that has inbox and messaging capabilities where messages from your professional contacts are sent to the email you sign up with.” outlined Schultz, “in his case, the Mindspring.”
“We also found evidence that he used it for his Tumblr account,” the lawyer explained. “This is a social networking website that also has inbox and messaging where more than 22% of the content on this social website is pornographic and more than 16% of the accounts created there contain exclusively pornographic material” .
As of the November 2016 hearing, Business Insider reported that Tumblr had changed its community guidelines as a means of banning the widespread explicit content found on the site, as detailed by Schultz. However, the implication remained that Maxwell may have taken advantage of the looser moderation policies at the time.
During the hearing, in response to Giuffre's attorney's suggestion, Maxwell's attorney had said in part, “Except what Ms. Schultz just said to the Court about somehow this is being used pornographic, whatever he says. That's new information to me, which brings me to another point that's problematic in this motion. They've never talked about anything like that.”
In response to the arguments, the judge denied Maxwell's motion to compel additional data.
A Tumblr representative confirmed to Business Insider that there is currently an account associated with the email in question. Citing the company's privacy policies, they declined to provide further information.
