The court denied Ghislaine Maxwell's motion to dismiss a defamation claim filed by the plaintiff. The plaintiff alleged that Maxwell made defamatory statements denying the plaintiff's claims of sexual abuse and trafficking. The court found that the statements could be considered defamatory and that the plaintiff had adequately pled her case. The court also addressed the applicability of self-defense and pre-litigation privileges, concluding that these were not grounds for dismissal at this stage.
