Nearly 200 to Be Named in Epstein Docs

BRIGHT readers, I must confess that I was planning to take today off after yesterday’s final gift guide for 2023. However, the news just kept coming!

The Daily Caller reported that nearly 200 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein will be named in unsealed court documents at the beginning of 2024. They are likely to be a mix of people who spoke about abuse, as well as professional and personal associates of Epstein.

From The Daily Caller:

Senior U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska for the Southern District of New York ruled Monday to have a trove of documents related to dozens of unnamed alleged Epstein associates unsealed in fourteen days, court documents show. The anonymous individuals range from “J. Doe” 003 to 187 and appear to be friends, recruiters and victims of the disgraced financier.

Preska’s ruling is part of alleged Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre’s defamation lawsuit against Epstein’s longtime partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently imprisoned for conspiring with Epstein to abuse minors. Maxwell was sentenced in June 2022 to 20 years in prison for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit underage girls alongside Epstein for a decade.

“The Court stays its order for fourteen days to permit any impacted Doe the opportunity to appeal, after which counsel are asked to confer, prepare the documents for unsealing pursuant to this order, and post the documents on the docket,” the order concludes.

The New York Post added, “While Monday’s ruling doesn’t name anyone specific, it references multiple Does as being a ‘public figure,’ including one whose name was referenced in Epstein’s infamous little black book.”
