Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton are among the more than 100 people named in newly-published legal documents linked to the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The disclosure of the first batch of court files include the names of victims, friends and associates of the sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell – although many others will have no direct link to Epstein.
The millionaire financier, who socialised with royalty and celebrities, was accused of running a large network of underage girls for sex. While awaiting trial, he killed himself in his jail cell in 2019.
The legal documents relate to a defamation lawsuit brought against Maxwell in 2015 and were published under a judge’s order on Wednesday. More are set to be released in the coming days.
Inclusion of the names does not indicate any wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else.
Prince Andrew is included, with the legal papers including a previously reported accusation he groped Johanna Sjoberg, a claim he denies. Former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are also named, with neither accused of wrongdoing. Judges, court staff and legal represenatives are not included.
