    The court found the matters to be tried are private, familial and sensitive and that extensive media publicity created a real and substantial risk of serious prejudice to the trial and to witnesses; balancing the necessity to prevent that serious risk and the salutary effects of confidentiality against the deleterious effect on open justice, the court concluded the protective and sealing orders were necessary and ordered the proceedings to be heard in camera and court records sealed.
