ORDER
DAVID R. HERNDON, District Judge.
Before this Court is the Government's motion to protect the identities of victims in this case (Doc. 26). Specifically, the Government seeks suppression of the victims' names in this case from all public filings and proceedings, including the trial, and allowing them to be referred to instead as Jane Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, etc., as set forth in the indictment. Suppressing the names of the victims is meant to protect their privacy and to avoid subjecting them to unnecessary psychological harm. Defendant does not object to this motion.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the motion (Doc. 26), except to the extent that disclosure of the victims' names is necessary during voir dire. The Court will take reasonable precautions to meet the objectives of this order and proper voir dire.
