Jeffrey Epstein list: New batch of documents unsealed revealing more associates

Which big names are on Epstein’s list?

Comedian Chris Tucker, actor Kevin Spacey and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, were mentioned in a tranche of documents relating to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that have been unsealed.

Nearly 100 more court files containing information about Epstein were released on Friday after US judge Loretta Preska ordered the unsealing of filings in a lawsuit brought by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell – currently in federal prison for sex trafficking – was sued in 2015 after she branded Ms Giuffre a liar over her claims that she was sexually abused as a minor. The suit was settled in 2017 but the documents remained sealed – until now.

The first batch of forty court documents was released on Wednesday, naming Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, and magician David Copperfield. The naming of individuals does not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing.

The Metropolitan Police has declined calls to open an investigation into Prince Andrew following the release of the documents — which include accusations of sexual assault — but will assess any new and relevant information. The duke has consistently denied any misconduct.

Unanswered questions after release of new Epstein documents

Several questions remain even as over 3,000 pages of new court documents about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released.

One of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, filed a lawsuit in 2009 saying the disgraced billionaire financier had flown her around the world for sexual encounters with billionaires, politicians, royals and heads of state.

People named in court documents released so far include Britain’s Prince Andrew, Former US president Bill Clinton, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, former US Senator George Mitchell, and law professor Alan Dershowitz.

It remains unclear how many more influential personalities were linked to the convicted sex offender.

Giuffre’s allegations have also changed over time.

For instance, she withdrew her allegations against Dershowitz in 2022, saying she “may have made a mistake” in identifying him as one of her abusers.

While she initially said she was 15 when Epstein began to abuse her, Giuffre later said she met him the summer she turned 17.

The possibility of some questions only Epstein himself might have been able to answer have died with him following his death by suicide at a federal detention center in Manhattan in August 2019.

So far only about 190 of the nearly 250 files that US District Judge Loretta Preska authorised for release have been made public.

With another batch expected to be released on Monday, new names may come to light, but there’s also a possibility these records were likely already made public in the nearly 3,000 pages unveiled so far.

Law professor posts defence video after new Epstein documents reveal

Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz posted a 31-minute video after a court released a new set documents relating to his former client Jeffrey Epstein which raised allegations that he took part in the convicted sex offender’s trafficking ring.

The newly released documents contained allegations that Mr Dershowitz forced a minor girl to have sex with him on several occasions and also that he witnessed other girls being abused.

Much of the claims against Mr Dershowitz has been previously reported and he has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

“Epstein required Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with Dershowitz on numerous occasions while she was a minor, not only in Florida but also on private planes, in New York, New Mexico, and the US Virgin Islands,” an excerpt of the filings read.

Dershowitz denied the allegations, claiming he had an “innocent” relationship with Epstein.

“I had an innocent relationship with a man who I didn’t know, nobody suspected, had done anything wrong,” he said.

Epstein offered reward to disprove claims Stephen Hawking took part in orgy

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was looking to offer a financial reward to the friends of one of his accusers if they could help prove an allegation that physicist Stephen Hawking had engaged in an underage orgy was false.

New court documents reveal the disgraced paedophile financier sent an email in 2015 showing that he was happy to issue a reward to counter the allegations made by his accuser Virginia Giuffre.

“You can issue a reward to any of Virginia’s friends, acquaints, family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false. The strongest is the Clinton dinner, and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy,” the email sent to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell noted.

Court documents have revealed the names of staff members and business associates of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein working at his private island called Little St James – a 72-acre piece of land including several villas off the coast of St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.

After Epstein’s death in prison – ruled as a case of suicide – the billionaire Stephen Deckoff bought Little St James, according to Forbes.
