Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer dropped an anonymous accuser's name in court today once again. Adam Horowitz, who's represented Epstein accusers in the past, tells Rolling Stone this could have a 'chilling' effect on other whistleblowers coming forward
, who represented eight Epstein victims in a Florida civil suit around 2009, thinks that’s one occasion too many to be a slip of the tongue. “It’s one of those things where the first time maybe it’s a mistake,” he says. “The second time, there’s a pattern now that something is being done purposefully, which is disturbing, because there’s a court order that he’s not allowed to use the name.”
Horowitz says that if the revelation of the alleged victims’ names is an intentional attempt to expose or embarrass them, it isn’t working. “Thankfully, no major media outlets have reported the name,” he says. “So it’s not an effective strategy.” But total secrecy isn’t the biggest concern.
To Horowitz, that broken agreement could have troubling ramifications. “As a lawyer, what I’m concerned about is the chilling factor, where victims and whistleblowers decide they’re not going to come forward because a defense lawyer might out their names,” Horowitz says. “We rely on whistleblowers and other victims to come forward; sometimes they provide helpful evidence.
