Latest Jeffrey Epstein Court Documents Released
TL/DR –
The next set of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released, comprising roughly half the number released earlier, which included around 40 documents of hundreds of pages of testimony and legal filings. The documents are from the defamation lawsuit Virginia Giuffre filed against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming she was a teen sex slave for Epstein and was directed by him and Maxwell to have sex with powerful men. U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled last month that there was no legal justification for continuing to conceal more than 150 names of “John and Jane Does” mentioned in the records, and ordered the unsealing to begin after Jan. 1.
New Epstein Documents Released: What You Need to Know
A new batch of documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been released, following an earlier release of around 40 documents consisting of hundreds of pages of testimony and legal filings.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska is expected to release hundreds more unsealed documents in the coming days. These records include over 150 names previously concealed, referred to as “John and Jane Does”.
Earlier unsealed documents were part of a defamation lawsuit Virginia Giuffre filed against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre claimed she was directed by Epstein and Maxwell to have sex with powerful men as a teen.
The documents reveal why Giuffre’s lawyers sought former President Bill Clinton’s testimony. Giuffre mentioned Clinton’s close relationship with Epstein and Maxwell in a 2011 interview. Though Giuffre made no allegations of illegal actions by Clinton, Maxwell referred to these comments as ‘obvious lies’ in her deposition.
Additional Epstein associates, including Prince Andrew, are named in these documents. Sigrid McCawley, counsel for Giuffre, stated that the public deserves to know more about Epstein’s operation.
Maxwell’s attorneys maintain that the unsealing of these documents has no bearing on Maxwell or her pending appeal. They are confident she will obtain justice in her upcoming appellate argument.
