OK - now in Rapp v. Kevin Spacey (for rape of 14 year-old), a proceeding in SDNY by phone, in a case which Inner City Press has been reporting on innercitypress.com/sdny17lkaplans… and will, in haitus from #MaxwellTrial which has no call-in line, live tweet, thread below
Spacey, defending himself from claim he raped Rapp, wanted get discovery into all of his past relationships.
Spacey's lawyer: He's only alleging that Mr Fowler [that is, Kevin Spacey] picked him up and dropped him. It's essentially child abuse, not sexual assault.
Rapp's lawyer: From coast to coast, from country to country, Kevin Spacey leaves a trail of young boys and men who say he touched them without their consent. He just lost an arbitration to Netflix about House of Cards.
Rapp's lawyer: I am haunted at not convincing the court to allow C.D. to go anonymous, as is being allowed in a major criminal case now in our court, of Ghislaine Maxwell. But here, C.D. dropped out.
Rapp's lawyer: Here, Spacey's lawyer is arguing that throwing a 14 year-old boy on the bed and getting on top of him is not sexual, it's just child abuse. It's absurd. We want to depose Evan Lowenstein. He became Mr. Spacey's traveling companion.
Rapp's lawyer: Evan Lowenstein's wife has gotten an order of protection against Mr Spacey being with her children, as I understand it.
Judge: And this summation is relevant how?
Judge: What if we limit you to examining incidents where the identity of the other person has become public and the person was under 18?
Rapp's lawyer: Even if a person was over 18, throwing them on the bed and jumping on top of them is relevant
Rapp's lawyer: I don't intend to ask Mr. Spacey, at deposition, Tell me every person you've had sex with.
Judge: You've called my approach perverse. Frankly, it's not welcome.
Rapp's lawyer: I was not calling you perverse.
Judge: I'm going to reserve but you will have something very quickly.
Lawyer: We have Lowenstein's depo on Tuesday.
Judge: You'll have something from me by then.

OK - now in US v. #GhislaineMaxwell, her lawyer Pagliuca is cross-examining survivor Carolyn who testified Maxwell paid her $300 to have sex with Jeffrey Epstein. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below, after midday podcast here anchor.fm/innercity-pres…

Carolyn: That was a bad day for me. I was not expecting the FBI to come to my home.
Pagliuca: You knew what a British accent was, but you said "an unknown accent," right?
Carolyn: The day that you're talking about --
Pagliuca: I'd ask the Court to make her answer.

OK - it's US v. #GhislaineMaxwell trial Day 6, beginning with Judge Nathan ruling on the admissibility of exhibits and, Inner City Press hopes and has requested, the unsealing of court filings storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Now before the jury comes in, Judge Nathan is reading rulings on exhibits.
Judge Nathan: The pictures on the wall [of Epstein's massage room] risk prejudice and distracting the jury. They should be redacted. The other photos, of vibrators, the court will exclude.
Judge Nathan: I will also exclude the photos of the "creepy animals" Jane testified to. The tigers, for example, are high idiosyncratic. The school girl uniforms may be admissible, depending on the testimony.
