A US court has unsealed 60 of 250 previously sealed documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These documents contain legal arguments and interviews conducted for Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former lover who was sentenced to 20 years for her role in recruiting and grooming girls for him. The papers mention references to celebrities, politicians, and philanthropists who associated with Epstein, although not all are accused of any wrongdoing. The documents also include allegations involving Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Stephen Hawking, Sir Richard Branson, Harvey Weinstein, and David Copperfield. These allegations range from inappropriate touching to being part of sex tapes filmed by Epstein. However, it is important to note that some of these claims were later admitted to be false or baseless. Prince Andrew strongly denies the allegations made against him, while a spokesperson for Bill Clinton has stated that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. The release of these documents sheds light on the extensive network of individuals connected to Epstein and raises questions about their involvement with the convicted sex offender.
