A New York judge is expected to release nearly 200 names connected to the Jeffrey Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy, potentially exposing the identities of dozens of associates who, until now, have only been known as John and Jane Does in court papers.
The release stems from a defamation suit filed by victim Virginia Giuffre in 2015 against Maxwell, leading to legal depositions that produced the names. Although expectations of criminal charges may be overblown, the upcoming revelation is anticipated to be a serious embarrassment to many high-profile figures, including a former US president, actors, academics, and the reclusive British prince.
Notably, former President Bill Clinton and the British prince have been identified in court records, shedding light on their connections to Epstein.
The impending disclosure raises questions about the potential impact on ongoing investigations and the broader societal conversation surrounding Epstein's notorious network.
