Newly Unsealed Documents Unveil Epstein Associates and Allegations Against Prince Andrew

A total of 19 sealed documents from a lawsuit connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile who died in a US jail before he could face trial on federal sex-trafficking charges, have been publicly released, CNN reported.

The Epstein list included in the unsealed papers are the names of about 150 Epstein associates. The documents were filed as part of Virginia Giuffre's 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's co-conspirator in his sexual abuse scheme.

On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on sex trafficking charges. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

This is the second batch stemming from a December 18 court order from the judge overseeing the lawsuit, a response to media's legal efforts to publicly release the documents. The documents released on Thursday night total more than 300 pages.

The documents are part of a 2015 civil defamation suit brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, an American woman who claimed Epstein sexually abused her as a minor and that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, aided in the abuse.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges.
