"Jeffrey Epstein's Secret Network Exposed: Judge Orders Unsealing of Documents Naming Associates"

A federal judge in New York has ordered the names of dozens of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims and associates to be made public in 2024. The order is part of a settled case by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused Epstein of sexually abusing her as a minor with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein was indicted in 2019 on federal charges of operating a sex trafficking ring and died by suicide in jail. Maxwell was convicted last year. While parts of the 2015 defamation lawsuit brought by Giuffre have been unsealed, the latest order will release more documents, including information on deceased individuals associated with Epstein and Maxwell. Some victims will remain unnamed due to the sensitive nature of the crimes, and it is unclear how many associates will be investigated for alleged wrongdoing.
