Almost 200 previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have now been made public in connection to a years-old lawsuit involving the late financier. The records released as of Friday are likely to disappoint sleuths online, where the plan to release documents prompted rumors of a list of “clients” or “co-conspirators.” The records largely mention figures whose names were already known, including high-profile friends of Epstein’s and victims who have spoken publicly. Still, the documents do include some fresh details about the financier’s sexual abuse of teenage girls, and offer a reminder of how he leveraged his powerful connections to recruit his victims and help cover up his crimes.
Before and after he was exposed as a pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein loved to mingle with the world’s elite. The millionaire invited politicians and academics to his private island and luxury homes. He offered celebrities rides on his private jet. He and his girlfriend, the socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, hung out with princes and supermodels. They made donations that brought them into contact with leading philanthropists. After Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in 2019, many of those people have apologized for associating with him and said they were unaware he was habitually abusing underage girls. Newly released court records have revved up interest again in the big names who associated with Epstein and Maxwell.
