Nevada judge shields Wynn documents in Massachusetts review
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Documents collected by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission during a review of sexual misconduct allegations involving casino mogul Steve Wynn will remain secret, at least temporarily, under a ruling Friday by a Nevada judge.
Commission lawyers, its investigations chief and an attorney for Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts Ltd. didn't immediately say whether the ruling will impact a decision about the suitability of Wynn's former company to operate a $2 billion casino and hotel due to open this year in the Boston area.
The commission previously said its report could affect a gambling license issued to the company in 2014, including possible sanctions or revocation.
Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez said after a hearing in Las Vegas that she was "limiting what the state of Massachusetts can rely upon, share or utilize" until she decides whether the materials contain information that Wynn's personal lawyers argue is confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege.
